Chess Champions

Four of our top chess players competed in the Interschool Chess Challenge 2026 at the Sydney Academy of Chess, fighting off challenging competition and finishing the day on top.

We only entered four players (compared to other schools who entered 10+) but the exceptional regards of our students won us the day and a trip to the regional championship in Term 3.

Congratulations to the team consisting of Yi Fei Hu, Parthiv Prithvi, Ben Tung and Henry Fitzpatrick. Yi Fei finished the tournament with a perfect record in first place and Parthiv and Ben were equal 3rd. A great group of kids from Year 8-11 collaborating and working together in the spirit of academic and intellectual achievement.

Please join me in congratulating these students, as well as our super-sub and Fort Street’s own chess master, Clive Ng, for accompanying the kids and providing invaluable analysis and support.
