NSW JUN I OR CH ESS TOURNAMENT On Wednesday 14 September, Rees Hall came alive with 150 students from across the region competing in the NSW Junior Chess League One Day Tournament. We welcomed students from Nowra Anglican, Warrawong Intensive English College, Berry, St. Peter and St Paul, Mt. Keira, Austinmer, Wollongong and Nazareth. TIGS had 13 teams participating, made up of students from Years 3-6 and they were magnificent ambassadors for the school. Special mention to the A team of Adi Kumaresan, Nicholas Chiaverini and Taylan Arapali for their outstanding achievements as the highest placed TIGS team. The winning team (undecided as we go to press) will now contest the state titles. It is always a reminder of what our school has to offer when visiting teachers are excited about ordering lunch from the canteen as their school doesn’t have a canteen, or when people remark on how lovely the school grounds look. It is a special opportunity to open our facilities to schools within the community. We have hosted the Annual NSW Junior Chess League for 10 years and each tournament is an opportunity to connect and reach out to the wider educational community
