Round 1 of the Far North Queensland Interschool Chess Championships was held on 3 March. The Bishop Centre was bursting with enthusiasm and intellectual rigour as the best chess players in our region participated in the game that presents a truly equal playing field.

The Trinity Anglican School teams applied high levels of focus, determination and grit. Sportsmanship, good grace and kindness are values we continue to uphold in our team. Chess at TAS provides opportunities for students to apply and develop their skills in chess.
