Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are delighted to share that in 2026 we are continuing the very successful Junior School initiative, Westbourne’s EDGE Academy and will be running again during the upcoming school holidays.
EDGE (Enrichment, Discovery, Growth, and Exploration) is a dynamic holiday experience designed to ignite curiosity, stretch thinking, and inspire creativity.
The focus for our Term One program is a 2-day Chess Camp. Open to complete beginners through to experienced players are welcome to attend.
Students will spend the day learning new strategies and exciting chess variants, playing on the giant chess, solving puzzles and competing in a fun mini tournament.
Students will be able to interact with:
♟️ Chess puzzles & strategy games
♟️ Skill-building activities
♟️ A fun, social atmosphere
This opportunity is open to all students from Prep to Year 6 across both campuses.
Dates: Wednesday 8th April and Thursday 9th April
Location: Williamstown Campus (meet at Reception on the day)
Times: 9.00am – 3.00pm
Cost: $200 for the two days (covers materials, expert facilitators, and program resources)
What to bring: Snack and lunch, as students would on a regular school day
If you would like your child to take part, please confirm your place by making a payment through this booking.
Spaces are limited, so we encourage you to secure your child’s place early.
We look forward to welcoming students to what promises to be two days of inspiring and enriching holiday learning. Give your child the EDGE!
