Over the last few weeks a number of students have been battling it out to see who would be crowned the Chess champion of their year level, and the school.

It was fierce competition, but our students were all good sports, and gracious in defeat.

Thank you to Mr Franswah for the use of the Chess sets and his classroom, to Mrs Harrington for the awesome trophy, and Whaea Gemma for organising.

Congratulations to our year level winners:

Year 7 : Parker Somerset

Year 8 : Aiden Sunil

Year 9: Ion Pagalunan

Year 10 : Mason Magaba

Year 11: Marco Omandam

There could only be one St Ignatius Chess Champion. Congratulations to our 2026 overall winner Aiden Sunil!
