State Chess Tournament

On Monday 12 students travelled to Tyndale Christian School to participate in the STATE Chess Championships. At this tournament, the Zone winners from each Interschool tournament from around the State come together to compete. It was a great competition with lots of very talented players from around the State, and Prescott did well to come in fourth place.

It was also good for the players to practise their Sportsmanship skills, knowing that winning medals always feels great, but sportsmanship is a great life lesson. Friendships were forged across schools, wonderful sportsmanship was shown. I am so proud of this team! Mato also supplied everyone with lots of pizza at half time and ice-creams at the end! What a great way to end a fantastic tournament. This was the last tournament for our wonderful Year 6's, we wish them well in their new schools and thank them for their dedication to the chess team over the years. Well done, everyone.
