Sydney Academy of Chess Competition

On 23^rd February 2015 the St Agnes Catholic High School Chess Team showcased their chess skills when they travelled to Penrith High School, where an intense competition was held.

The hall was set up with four long tables and chairs, each with their own chess sets and timers. What was also exhibited during this day were the passionate gazes and intense concentration generated by all competitors, as well the continuous clicking of chess clocks.

St Agnes showed capable teamwork skills, as they cheered for their teammates before and after the chess battles.

Every individual worked extremely hard to win their battles, and their effort is to be commended.

Overall 175 competitors from 10 secondary and primary schools competed and St Agnes students are to be commended as they came 8th overall.
