WOW what a performance and so much to look forward to next year!!
I wish to thank the Parents who have assisted me this year with supervising the different chess classes: Simone P, Xia C, Chandra B, Mariana P and Sara L. I would also like to thank Clare J who looks after the Chess accounts.
Thank you to the teachers who help us to keep an eye on the kids on Monday afternoons and Friday mornings!
Information about next years classes will be sent out early next year, but at this stage the lesson times will remain the same.
As you know, Simone Pietschner will be the Chess Co-ordinator in 2015 and she will need the help of parents in supervising the classes as well as the logistics of the competitions. Please contact her at the chess email to indicate your availability.
I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a restful break over the Summer.
