Chess Club runs during lunch times each day. Both younger and older pupils are divided into two different groups and battle it out in their class. We run various in-house ‘chess crusher’ events in the school. We present our coveted Chess Shield to the winner of the Major Chess Tournament and their name is engraved on the shield to be apart of Monkstown Park history.
While all our pupils have the opportunity to learn and play chess in a fun and safe environment we also send a team to represent Monkstown Park at the annual AIJS (Association of Independent Junior Schools) chess tournament held by one of our fellow AIJS schools.
