Toowoomba District Primary School Individual Chess Championship

On Tuesday 11 March we had 21 fierce competitors vying for the capture of the King and becoming master of the board, competing against 24 other primary school students in the district.

We had a fabulous day and all the students played a great game, whether it was a win or not. Randuli did us very proud by achieving 6 points out of 8, which resulted in a 21st placing.

Thank you to Samantha Buckley for the coordination of the Toowoomba Primary Schools Chess Tournament, Mr Les Lord for his expertise in our coaching, and the Toowoomba Anglican School, with Mr Jason Locke, for hosting.

328 students from across the Downs had a successful day, showing commendable sportsmanship and fair play.

Our behaviour representing St Saviour's was exceptional. I couldn't have been more proud of our students. Great work team.

Mrs Harkins.

The students were recognised for their efforts at Monday's school assembly, with certificates for participating in the championship.
