These October holidays, The Swot Shop invites Year 2 – 7 students to join our Beginner Chess Masterclass – the perfect way to learn chess in a fun, interactive, and supportive environment whilst developing and practising higher level thinking skills.

Over three afternoons – Wednesday to Friday, 8 – 10 October 2025, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm – students will:

  • learn the rules, moves, and basic strategies of chess
  • build focus, memory, and problem-solving skills
  • play friendly games with classmates to strengthen their skills

No prior chess experience is needed – just curiosity and a willingness to learn! Students who have just discovered chess and are keen to learn more are also invited to join.

Program highlights

  • Small group learning with skill-based guidance
  • Hands-on practice and fun challenges
  • End-of-week friendly competition with a Swot Shop ribbon for the winner!
