On Thursday ,18 August, St Bernard’s College participated in the ACC Open Chess Tournament.

This was a particularly special event as it has been 3 years since we were able to compete in person as the past few years this competition has been run online

The team played in Division 1, proving to be extremely competitive After a slow start and in game 3 and 4 we were able to gain a number of wins resulting in the end a 6^th Place out of 8. The number of wins were equal to 5^th and 4^th place but were put down to 6^th due to .01% difference , in essence, the team came 4th.

Overall St Bernard’s College will remain in the Division 1 for next year which is a fantastic achievement. We thank the Year 12 Students who have represented the College in chess for the last time. We acknowledged Emerson Leishman, Harry Nguyen, Delano Ragusa and Zachary Zetko. We thank the rest of the team for their contribution: Trapper Thorpe, Dylan Linardon, Tyson Moodie and David Stapleton.
