St Bernard’s Intermediate Chess Team Maintained their Division 1 status

On Wednesday 5 October, Six students from Years 8, 9 and 10 played in our intermediate chess team.

The team was a few short as some of our Year 9 players were unavailable due to being at Santa Monica or at the Urban Engagement Program.

Despite this, they achieved well by coming 5th t, ensuring the team maintain their Division 1 status for the next tournament

The student with the highest score was David Stapleton with 4 points. Followed by Trapper Thorpe with 3.5 points and Xavier Wilkinson with 3 points.

We congratulate the remaining students in the team: Xavier Malcolm, Dylan Linardon and Tyson Moodie.
