Free School Chess Club

Wayne McDougall (World Chess Federation National Instructor) is responsible for the chess club and this web page. It is not an official school project.

What if you can't attend chess club on Thursdays after school?

If you are quite good at chess you should register anyway. Before any chess tournament we will arrange a trial to see if you are good enough to qualify.

Your privacy is important

We want information about your child so we may

This information will only ever be used for school chess purposes. We collect birth dates as some chess competitions are divided into age groups.

You can contact us at any time to review and correct information we have stored about your child or to have that information removed.

Photos and video recordings may be taken of your children in accordance with New Zealand law. These photos may be used for promoting the school and chess. Photos and recordings may be taken of your children as they compete in chess competitions in public places run by other organisations.

What we are going to do

We're going to have fun playing chess and get better at chess.

We're going to enter chess competitions. There will often be entry fees. There may be transport costs. Some competitions are open to anyone. Some have restricted entries so we will choose our best players to attend. Attending outside competitions is not required but will make you better and give you a goal.

If the cost of competition is a problem for your family, you can discuss in private Mr McDougall. We don't want anyone with ability and determination to miss out because of the cost.
