Nicole Lancaster of South Grafton High School invited SCU Chess Club to host an inter-school tournament on 30-Aug-2016, with 46 players from SGHS, McAuley Catholic College, and Clarence Valley Anglican School, and the SCU club attending.
The 7 round Swiss-style event was won by parent Andrew Shillam on 7 points, with students Levin Shillam and Carla Ryan from SGHS rounding out the top 3 on 6 points each. Medals were awarded to the following players:
Grade | 1st | 2nd | 3rd |

Thanks to Nicole Lancaster for organising a great event with happy friendly chess enthusiasts, and for a spectular chess cake :-)
The club looks forward to further promoting chess in locals school with the High School Invitational at SCU Lismore campus later this year.
