Every Tuesday and Thursday at lunch time we meet in Room 8. Your child does not need to attend every session.
The club is run by FIDE National Instructor Wayne McDougall.
It is free to join the school chess team. Some competitions may have additional entry and transport fees. If money is a challenge in your household please contact a senior staff member to discuss your options. We do not want anyone to be excluded from chess because of financial pressures.
If your child does not know how to play chess, but wishes to learn we will teach them. They can start at any age.
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 you or to have that information removed.
Photos and video recordings may be taken of you in accordance with New Zealand law. These photos may be used for promoting the school and chess. Photos and recordings may be taken of you as they compete in chess competitions in public places run by other organisations.
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 with the school principal. We don't want anyone with ability and determination to miss out because of the cost.
