Enrolling your child in our Chess Program is a wonderful way to ignite their passion for a game that's both fun and intellectually stimulating. Chess is one of the most interesting sports because it never repeats itself, there are never two equal matches, and it never bores you. You can even play it online!
To enrol a student please email chess@broadbeachss.eq.edu.au.
If your child does not wish to participate or you wish to add or change a day please email chess@broadbeachss.eq.edu.au.
