"Chess is an excellent activity for children because it strengthens a wide range of cognitive and social skills in a fun, engaging way. Playing chess encourages critical thinking, problem‑solving, and logical reasoning as children learn to plan ahead and consider the consequences of their moves. It also helps improve concentration and memory, since remembering patterns and strategies is key to success. Beyond academics, chess teaches patience, resilience, and good sportsmanship—children learn to win gracefully, handle setbacks, and keep trying. Altogether, chess provides a rich environment for developing both the mind and positive character traits."
We are delighted to offer our very popular chess club again to Good Shepherd. We have spaces available- starting Tuesday 10th March. This is open to Primary 5, Primary 6 & Primary 7 classes. Please book via ParentPay.
