Dear parents and carers,

Below are the details of Chess lessons held at school by Sydney Academy of Chess. If you would like your child to participate in chess, please contact the email below.

CHESS!! 

Learn to be a chess champion! 

Coaching for students at Burnside Public School is held on Tuesdays from 1:15pm to 2:00pm, starting on 6 May 2025.

Learning and playing chess helps children develop their logical thinking and problem solving skills, improves their concentration and focus, while also being a great source of enjoyment. Activities include group lessons on a demonstration chess board or interactive whiteboard, puzzle solving and fun practice games. Students earn merit awards by making checkmates, or by displaying skills and positive qualities, which all good chess players strive to develop.

Each student in the Chess program will also receive access to Chess Squad https://www.chesssquad.com/ which is an online teaching/playing platform.

 If your child is interested in taking part in the class, please email office.sydneyacademy@gmail.com for an enrolment form. For all enquiries, please contact Sydney Academy of Chess on (02) 9745 1170.

Kind regards

Gill Bennett
