Chess
This year we once again played as a combined team with WBJS. We had two teams playing in the friendly league against various schools. We had a successful season with promising results. The highlight of Term 3 was the tournament at Bishops where we did phenomenally well and ended up winning three of our five games. A special thanks to our chess coach Mr Goodchild-Brown,
chess captain, Buyi Nqubelani and vice captain, Danielle Jacobs for all their enthusiasm and determination throughout the year. Danielle Jacobs, Buyi Nqubelani and Misbah Toefy were compelling opponents and made us proud. We know you will be an asset to your high school chess team. For all those interested in playing chess come and join us next year and see for yourself how fun the game of chess can be!

This year I really pushed myself and worked very hard which enabled me to win all of my matches besides one. Most importantly, you learn life lessons from those mistakes. Buyi Nqubelani Grade 7B,
