Waimairi-iri Kāhui Ako Chess Competition

Last Friday two teams of Year 4-6 students from our school Chess Club participated in the inaugural Waimairi-iri Kāhui Ako Social Chess Competition at Breens Intermediate School. Our teams of four players (David T, Amit P, Zak S, Hon L and Jayden L, Joel L, Hardy W, and Taiwa L) competed against the other schools in our Kāhui Ako cluster of schools, playing five consecutive games during the morning.

This event provided plenty of challenges for our team members, who played with great focus and enjoyment. Well done to our team of David T, Amit P, Zak S and Hon L who gained first place in the Junior Division. 

David was also awarded Best Player in the Junior Section and Best Overall Player of the Tournament.
