The return of the annual Chess Tournament
Round one of this year’s Chess Tournament was held this lunch time in the Learning Resource Centre.
Current Chess Champion Sixth Form student Mary Holden has arranged the tournament and is also participating as a contestant.
Students will play against each other in a mini league to battle it out for the top 4 positions needed to qualify for the semi finals, and ultimately the final.
Well played to everyone who took part, we look forward to the final!
Westholme helped to prepare me for my path into politics – my time at the school gave me the knowledge and the confidence that I could achieve anything. Anything at all!
Westholme helped me to understand that in life hard work always beats natural talent. So, everywhere I go now I always make sure I’m working harder than my competition – this allows me to achieve my dreams.
At Westholme I was taught that no dream was too big. We were encouraged to aim for the stars, which I did and succeeded! Knowing I had their constant support even to this day, anything was possible.
At Westholme, aspirations were encouraged strongly, along with a clear ethos that working hard was the way to achieve them. It’s an attitude that has been incredibly positive for me.
More than anything, Westholme taught me to be fearless in my aspirations. It was an environment which encouraged me to stay true to myself, and to treasure and cultivate my creativity.
I think that it is extremely important that people aim for the best and keep their aspirations for the future high. Aspirations and dreams are hugely motivating.
