This week 6 students from KNS represented our school at The Canterbury Chess Tournament at 'Te Hapua' in Halswell.
Not only did they have fun playing 5 rounds of chess, they learned a lot about competitive rules, new strategies and the challenge of playing under time pressure.
They showed perseverance, determination, skill and fair play.
Well done team!
If you would like to learn to play chess or play with other people, Chess Club is on every Thursday lunch time in Room 19.
The mighty Tōtara tree stands tall and proud. It protects those smaller than itself. In ancient times it was used to build waka that carried hundreds of warriors and build whare to protect people from the earths elements. As the team gifted with the name tōtara, we take on much of it’s meaning. We protect those who are younger than us and we support others by encouraging them, and being active role models in our kura. We are the leaders of KNS.
