Chess Club operates in the library on a weekly basis under the guidance of the Teacher Librarian and Mr Allan Menham, president of the Bundaberg Chess Club. Students from Years 3-6 are invited to become members of the school’s chess club. Students are taught the rules of chess using competition quality chess boards. Students are also taught the importance of following chess etiquette. Members of Avoca’s chess club are selected to compete at interschool chess competitions throughout the year. An annual intra-school chess competition is also conducted during Term 3 to identify Avoca’s Chess Champion.
