Debating Winners

Junior Chess Club Tournament

Terrace entered two primary teams into the South Brisbane Junior Chess Club Tournament at Mount Carmel on 24 February 2019.  It was a tough competition with a number of really strong schools in attendance. 

Both Terrace teams had a difficult start as they had to face the two highest rated teams in the competition.  After losing some early games, both our teams started to pick up some wins which resulted in one of them coming third in the Novice division.  Our third placed team consisted of Jackson McConnachy (Year 5), Lachlan Strong (Year 5), Orlando Tessarolo (Year 6) and Oscar Carroll (Year 5).  Congratulations to the boys for a great performance!
