Scoil na mBuachaillí has been proud participants in the Cork City Chess League since 1999 and Ficheall and it's a hugely popular activity.

It’s very good for on-the-spot strategic thinking and planning, and they also learn how to operate as part of a team, as well as meeting other children from different classes within our school and from different schools. The benefits are very far-reaching.
