CHESS AT GYC
Congratulations to Oscar Breslin (R3) and Luke Turner (B1) for their outstanding achievements in chess
this year.
On 6 September, Oscar Breslin and Luke Turner participated in the Interschool Chess Tournament for
the Hobart area. This was the first time that there had been a GYC participation since 2015. It was also a
record number of schools competing, with a total of 9 schools, colleges and high schools alike, involved.
Both players were the highest rated in the tournament, and as a result were on the highest tables for most
of the tournament.
Both Luke and Oscar ended the tournament in the individual top 10, with the latter winning the tourna-
ment. Considering our small team size, we managed to still do well in the team’s component, coming 7th
out of the 9 Schools.
We would like to thank Mrs Martini for organizing the Tournament and Andrew Martini for supervising.

an outstanding achievement in itself.

Students met with Sustainable Timber Tasmania (STT) Forest Management Coordinator, Jason Lawson, who explored forest management and the multiple values that need to be consid- ered when interacting with forest landscapes. Students had a chance to interpret landscape level planning maps and consider the role of for- ests in global carbon cycles. To help understand the reforestation process, the class visited the STT seed centre in Geeveston. Students met with Harvey Watson, Forest Officer Forest Manage- ment and Kylie Kemp, Trainee Forester, to learn about the important role of collecting, storing and sowing seeds for future forests.
