IPSHA Chess Competition - Aquinas College

On Tuesday the 13^th of September, four students from the Aquinas College Junior School attended the Year 3-6 IPSHA Chess Competition. The boys that represented Aquinas were Aarav Sharma (5R), Enrico De Santis (5R), Cruz Cooke (5B) and Fionn Sao (4W).

The competition ran for the entire day with the students playing eight 20-minute rounds against competitors from other schools. Of the 15 schools and 60 students competing in the competition, Aquinas placed 8^th overall. The boys were respectful to their opponents and should be very proud of their achievements.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Australia as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land of our schools. We are inspired and nurtured by their wisdom, spirituality and experience. We commit ourselves to actively work alongside them for reconciliation and justice. We pay our respects to the Elders; past, present and future. As we take our next step we remember the first footsteps taken on this sacred land.
