Chess Club

The Chess Club was started in 2025 as an interest group. In 2026, it is formally launched as a CCA. Students may opt to join the Chess Club as their main CCA, subject to availability of places. Other interested students may also request to join the Chess Club as a 2nd CCA, or participate in some activities out of interest.

Learning outcomes:

• Chess develops foresight, planning, and decision-making skills as players anticipate opponents’ moves and evaluate multiple outcomes enhancing overall problem-solving abilities.

• Regular practice teaches perseverance through losses, patience during long matches, and focus under pressure building essential character traits.

• CCA involvement fosters collaboration in school teams and tournaments, boosting confidence, sportsmanship, and social bonds.

Key Events:

• National Schools Individual Tournament-March holidays

• National Schools Team Tournament- Term 1

• Punggol Secondary Tournament-Term 1

• Friendly match with Pathlight students-once a term (tentative)

• Peirce Secondary internal tournament-Term 1

• Friendlies with other schools-ad hoc and likely to be post examination activities
