Regional Chess Tournament

Congratulations to our chess players on their THIRD PLACE at the recent Regional Chess Tournament held recently - a remarkable result!

Our school hosted 130 competitors from seven colleges including schools from Berwick, Brighton, Seymour and Drouin.

We had a very strong team with 13 of our students qualifying for the Secondary Open State Finals, which will take place in October and also three of our students qualifying for the Secondary Girls State Final, taking place later this year.

Our strong female team (with Pakenham Secondary College coming third in the State last year), achieved exceptional results, with Gowri Prabhu receiving a Gold Medal, Alexandra Fitzgerald receiving a Silver Medal and Malia Nimaya achieving a Bronze Medal.

Other outstanding achievements include Jerby Alasco, Nonso Chukwumela-Agha, Amrit Dhillon, Sinsarut Chitkanwong and Trey Handley, all wining Bronze Medals. Brendan Finch and Zo Bawi both received Distinctions and Ed Ryan Evaristo, Bailey Booth, Lachlan Groves and MItchell Noller all received Credit Certificates.

Well done to all of our competitors who were all a credit to our College.
