Students learn the rules and play International Chess during their weekly sessions. They have a fun-filled time playing with their friends and at the same time, learn social skills.
During each session, students display the 3Rs.
The seniors are Ready to Serve by teaching the juniors some strategies of the various board games. They show their juniors by role modelling and teaching them the etiquette of playing games and taking care of the game sets.
The seniors are Ready to Lead the juniors in each session by guiding and advising them. Some juniors upon seeing the good examples set by the seniors have taken on the role of guiding and helping their peers as well.
