The chess team from King Edward’s School have convincingly won their league of the ECF National Schools Chess Championship to progress into the Zone Final.
On Wednesday, 15 January 2014, the King Edward’s School team made up of Aloysius Lip, Ashwin Kalyana, Mani Nijjar, Aaron Dhesi, Hugh Lilburn and Hari Nijjar beat King Edward VI Five Ways 6-0 and will proceed to the Zone Final later this term.
The day was a fantastic final celebration of the Mathematical talent that exists in our young people across the city and wider region, and we are so proud to remain key hubs for bringing such talent together – we’re already excited for next year!
Beyond sharpening my public speaking and critical thinking skills, MUN left me with incredible memories and a deep appreciation for diplomacy. It was an exhilarating experience, and I can’t wait to do it all over again!
If you were expecting a serious, well-structured debate at this year’s Easter debate, you were in for a surprise. What unfolded was less of a formal argument and more of a theatrical masterpiece – complete with flying chocolate, wild accusations and a speaker who somehow turned it into a human rights campaign for sugar.
Managing all of this in just three weeks was no easy task – there were plenty of ups and downs, but the team’s dedication made it possible. The level of skill, commitment, and passion each person brought to their role made the challenge easier to handle, and seeing everything come together at nationals was a testament to the hard work and resilience of every team member.
