Chess is an excellent way to develop students strategic thinking skills.  Every Thursday at lunch time students participate in a coaching lesson run by Chess SA. Each lesson students learn particular skills, strategies and moves to help them improve the game. 

The focus being on improving thinking skills such as problem solving, memory, critical thinking, analysis, decision making, concentration, visualisation, creative thinking and more. Every week students play tournament games, matching players of equal ability to play against each other, ensuring close matches every time.
