Chess Club

Chess Club has looked a little different this term with the option of going online, half of the team took up the challenge, and each week we have met Mr. Jelic on a Webex meeting for some coaching, before playing against each other on the Lichess online platform. Last Thursday afternoon between 4-6pm, nine teams in South Australia took part in an online Interschool Chess Competition and Prescott ranked third at the end of the challenging tournament. Congratulations to all players, especially Dylan and Tyson who were our top scoring players. Savannah who has been playing in our online competition and is now in Year 7, also opted to join our team for online chess and the tournament and was the highest scoring girl player, winning $50! We also congratulate the Salisbury Hub team, who won the tournament this term.

Next term, we look forward to Chess Club resuming in person in the Discovery Centre on Tuesday’s after school in Week 2 (28th of July). We thank Mr Jelic for his wonderful efforts in creating the online platform to help us all keep connected and practising our skills during this challenging time.

Year 1 Dress-Up Day - ‘Long Ago’

Today Year 1 students finally got to wear their costume of choice, representing ‘Long Ago’. It is said that a picture tells a thousand stories, and the Year 1 pictures certainly do that.

It was fitting that Year 1 students would conclude their History unit, ‘Then and Now’ in such a celebratory manner.

Special thanks to Mrs Lorna Rogers and Mrs Lyn Maclean, who accepted the invitation to video themselves to tell our students about what life was like in Adelaide when they were little girls.

Thank you also to all of our parents, for helping your children be appropriately dressed in an attire of ‘Long Ago’.
