Barbreck Chess, 2022

After two years, it was wonderful to welcome the girls back to Chess Club, held every Monday at lunchtime.

Girls from Years 2 to 6 enjoyed the opportunity to play games face-to-face against their friends and peers and learn new skills from our external Chess Coach.

The inaugural Barbreck Chess Tournament was created this year as a new initiative to introduce the girls to chess competitions. The event was a huge success with many girls experiencing their first chess competition. We will endeavour to make the event a  permanent fixture.

In Term 4, a team of four girls represented St Catherine’s in the Victorian Girls’ Chess Finals at Glen Eira College. The girls were excellent ambassadors for St Catherine’s School.

Chess continues to be a popular co-curricular activity. It is open to all Year levels and develops the girls’ strategic thinking skills in a fun and engaging environment.
