CHESS/SKAAK
Chess is an important activity at our school, involving brain power instead of muscle power. There are several major tournaments annually, as well as a school league. Players can also qualify for provincial colors and we have regularly produced such achievers, on the highest chess levels in Mpumalanga. For more information contact:
Skaak is ‘n belangrike aktiwiteit by ons skool, wat breinkrag in plaas van spierkrag behels. Daar is verskeie groot toernooie per jaar, asook ‘n skool liga. Spelers kan ook in aanmerking kom vir provinsiale kleure en ons skool lewer gereeld toppresteerders op die hoogste skaak vlakke in Mpumalanga. Vir meer inligting kontak:
