Chess
JC – Training commenced this week with a wonderful buzz in the air, especially around the presence of chess clocks in the Year 5-6 room!
Year 6 students have the opportunity to have a go and compete this year – the first team of four will play next Thursday afternoon at PAC.
SC – We are excited to have two teams in Division 3 this year, as well as retaining one in Division 2. Division 3 starts next Friday (9 May) at 7pm at the Chess Centre.
We wish all of our players the very best for a great start to the season.
Astronomy Club
We are incredibly fortunate to have Dr John Santini spearheading this new venture – whilst the schedule will literally be up to the stars, stay tuned to the notices to register your interest. Already in the pipeline are sessions using the CBC telescopes, astral photography, excursions and building a genuine satellite!
Music
Don’t forget that the Long Lunch includes an exclusive concert by some of CBC’s best rock bands and the Jazz Combo. These boys have been working on curating the perfect set to accompany your meal and are excited about playing for you!
Also coming up this term are the inaugural St Mary’s Rock Fest (Sunday at the end of Week 7), our annual Solo Performance Evenings (in Week 8), the Middle School Performing Arts Night and a Riverland Tour.
Further details are on their way.
As always, questions can be sent through to me at any time.
