On 6th May 2025, a group of our enthusiastic chess players proudly represented Al Siraat College at the Interschool Islamic Chess Competition, hosted at Ilim College’s Kiewa Campus for Boys Secondary.
This marked our first time participating in the event, providing a fantastic opportunity for our Secondary boys to test their skills and enjoy a friendly yet competitive environment among other schools.
The tournament followed a Swiss system structure — a non-eliminating format where players are paired each round based on their performance throughout the day. Students competed in 6 rounds, with each match played under a 10-minute timer and a 1-second increment.
A special congratulations to Solayman Rayan, our top-performing student, who earned a medal for his outstanding efforts on the day.
We had a total of 8 Secondary boys proudly representing Al Siraat College, and we commend each of them for their dedication, enthusiasm, and excellent sportsmanship throughout the event.
A heartfelt thank you to Mr Bayram Arifoski for accompanying and supporting our students on this excursion.
We look forward to taking part in more chess competitions in the future and continuing to nurture our students’ strategic thinking, focus, and competitive spirit!
