Important Information - Chess Training 2010
Please check your name and allocated class/group in the links provided below. Fresh P1s and P2s (who are new to chess) are kindly asked to be present at the meeting point at 13:45 on Thursday, 14 January. The rest of pupils (who are familiar with the classes and past training) should proceed directly to their classes.
For National Junior Squad Pupils:
Those pupils who are National Junior Squad members and chose chess as their CCA or training in school this year are required a minimum 80% attendance. They can use the training hours spent with SCF (a National Sports Association) during the National Junior Squad training programs to claim their attendance for this year in CCA (Chess). At the end of each semester they will need however to provide an official SCF letter with the number of sessions attended.
We strongly encourage these pupils to participate in the school CCA training sessions as well, especially prior to important chess competitions.
