On 15th July 2025 (Tuesday), students from our school participated in the Zonal Level Chess Tournament held at Swami Vivekananda School, Mettuppatti. Competing against top young minds from across the zone, our students stood out with confidence, strategy, and spirit — bringing home multiple laurels.
This victory is not just a moment of pride for the school, but a celebration of hard work, perseverance, and encouragement that Oxford consistently fosters in its students.

♟️ Why Chess Matters in a Student’s Life
At Oxford Girls Matriculation School, we believe that education is not just about textbooks — it’s also about shaping character, nurturing focus, and building life skills. Chess is one such powerful tool that:
Enhances analytical and logical thinking
Improves problem-solving skills
Boosts concentration and patience
Encourages sportsmanship and strategic planning
Chess helps children apply their classroom learning in real-world scenarios by training their minds to think ahead, analyze deeply, and act decisively.
That’s why we actively promote such events and tournaments where our students can sharpen their skills beyond the classroom.
👏 Kudos to the Mentor Behind the Moves
Behind every successful student is a mentor who guides, inspires, and challenges them to be their best. A big round of applause and heartfelt thanks go to our dedicated PET (Physical Education Teacher), Ms. Amutha, who has been instrumental in training and preparing our students for this competition.
Her patience, strategy, and personal attention have helped each student understand the depth of the game and boost their confidence to face strong opponents.
Her continued efforts are truly shaping the sporting spirit of Oxford’s student community.
