2024 CHESS School Tour
The CHESS School Tour event was held on Thu Oct 24, with 35 members registering for this. Ex-students across many decades met & chatted about their school memories, over snacks, prepared by the school canteen staff. Assistant principal & ex-student, Emmanuel Skoutas, explained how the current school operates & gave us an overview of the current student profile – there are almost 1,000 students enrolled at CHS. A current year 10 student, Will, was also there answering questions about his view of the school.
We were then taken on a school tour, seeing the major teaching & activity hubs across the old & new school buildings. For those of us who were at the school several decades ago, the current library is on the upper level of the original building. The open student areas in some of the photos, are located on the upper floors of the ‘new’ building.
As the school concert was starting at 7PM on that evening, the school was abuzz with students & staff, preparing for the concert, with the familiar sound of school band instruments, as students warmed up. One of the photos shows the school hall, setup for the concert.
We hope that CHESS will be able to hold the event for members, again, next year.

Valedictory Evening
CHESS Secretary, Rory, presented several awards on behalf of CHESS to high-achieving current students at the Presentation Evening. These were one part of the $6000 contributed to the school, from the ex-students society this year, funded through memberships, donations and bequests.
The school is highly appreciative of the support from CHESS and we thank our members for their generosity.
