Strategic Thinking on Display at Interschool Chess Competition

A group of Secondary students recently participated in the Interschool Islamic Chess Competition held at the AIA (Australian International Academy) Senior Campus.

Strategic Thinking on Display at Interschool Chess Competition

Representing Al Siraat, six students competed in a full day of chess against students from various Islamic schools. The tournament followed a Swiss-format structure across six rounds, challenging students to think strategically, remain focused under pressure, and apply strong decision-making skills.

Beyond the competition, students enjoyed the opportunity to connect with peers from other schools and further develop their passion for chess in a supportive environment.

A special congratulations goes to Omar Yahya (Year 7 Online), who received a medal in recognition of his outstanding performance throughout the tournament.

We commend all participating students for representing the College with enthusiasm, respect, and excellent sportsmanship, and thank Mr Bayram for supporting students during the excursion.
