GPS Chess vs TSS

Well done to the Premier Board for their draw against TSS. Overall we had a team win with four board wins, two board draws and three board losses. Well done again to Matt Brown (Year 10) who played his entire GPS season undefeated and also to Suren Jansz (Year 10) who by playing more games than Matt, earns him the most wins for Terrace.

Please note a correction from last week's Terrace News.  We erroneously noted that Yang Zhang had played on the Premier Board for Terrace Chess for five years.  He has, in fact, played for six years - for the entirety of his time at Terrace.  Apologies to Yang for the error and an even bigger congratulations for this outstanding achievement. 

Inter-School Chess

Last Thursday, our Senior Chess players competed in the second heat of the Inter-School Chess tournament where we placed sixth in Division 1. This effort puts us on the cusp of representing Terrace in a State Final, and we are eagerly awaiting this news.

Terrace Music intake for 2021      

Last Friday, after the Years 5 and 7 scholastic testing, our music team placed over 100 new students into 2021 ensembles and lessons. This single intake is the largest opportunity each year for our team to capture continuing musicians who have started their journey in primary school and are keen to hone this passion within the Terrace Music program. The boys had a great understanding of what they were getting into and were very excited to begin their journey in the red and black. This year will see 22 Year 12 musicians graduate, which shows Terrace Music is yet to reach its full potential.
