Terrace Chess
This week, Terrace Chess presented trophies to the three highest ranked players in our Terrace run ISO Chess tournament. The ISO Chess tournament took place over Weeks 2-5 of the College’s period of Online Learning. The tournament was open to all Terrace students using an app our Chess players regularly use - globally renowned chess site Chesskid. Students from all year levels took part in the competition. After 20 rounds of close, competitive games Alex Ong (Year 11) was crowned as the overall winner with Max Elliott (Year 5) and Joshua Alfredson (Year 9) finishing second and third respectively. Well done to these students and to all who took part in the competition. Max is too young to be a member of the Premier Board, but it looks like he will be welcomed when he is of age.
For students wishing to participate in online chess games and tournaments, Gardiner Chess are now hosting weekly online tournaments for the rest of the term via Chesskid. To find out more about this and to sign up for tournaments please visit the link below: Gardiner Chess

Last Sunday, we featured Henry Dollar, Luke Evans and Liam Keates-Ryley singing Teacher's Petfrom School of Rock, welcoming student back to school. I want to congratulate these students who participated and drew on their vast knowledge as there is no direction or coaching that can occur when filming and recording from isolation.
This Sunday features the Symphonic Wind Ensemble who collaborated with the River City Music Organisation in Louisville, Kentucky on a global scale. Distant Harmonies – A Hymn for a New Day was recorded with 1200 other musicians from across the globe, the final result is outstanding. See you on Facebook or Instagram at 3pm Sunday.
