RGS Primary and Secondary students are welcoming opportunities to test their abilities against the best from across the State and Nation in their chosen pursuits.

Making a move on State’s best

The RGS Primary School chess team of Shivam Karthikeyan, Tony Janes, Zach Holtzman and Elsa Li will represent the Central Queensland North region at the State Championships in Brisbane on 8-9 October. This is the first time all four students have represented the School at the Chess State Championships. The RGS Secondary School’s top narrowly missed out on qualifying for the State Finals after the final regional round.
