Billanook College (Mooroolbark) has been supporting quality chess incentives for their students and the wider community for a number of years, providing chess coaching and school tournaments for students within school as well as conducting their annual Billanook Chess Classic, held on a Saturday, which is open to public.
In 2010 Billanook College will be expanding their Chess program repertoire by offering
to the public the
Billanook College Chess Championship Cup tournaments.
These events will be held on the four Saturday school tour dates of 20th March, 1st May, 19th June and 21st August. The idea is that children can attend the chess tournament while parents join in the tours. This is the College's first Chess Championship Cup in this very special year for Billanook College - their 30th birthday!
A healthy prize structure is offered for an
Open division as well as
a number of junior divisions. Individual scores for each tournament accumulate over all 4 events to determine the grand prizes and winners of the perpetual Billanook College Chess Championship cups, to be presented at the conclusion of the last event on August 21st.
More details will be made available shortly and posted here. For up to date information (prizes, entry fees and how to register online) please visit

Note that the BCCCC is a joint venture between
Billanook College and
Northern Star Chess.
