Leo Xu

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Today I recognise Leo Xu who is an outstanding chess player from Kogarah Public School. Despite only being in Year 4, he is an integral member of the St George League Chess Club and one of their youngest members. He is also ranked 6th in NSW in the U/10's chess competition and he is the top board representative for Kogarah Public School. It is for these reasons that Leo Xu received a Youth Achievement Award as part of the 10th Anniversary of the St George Community Awards in 2020. These awards honour some of the many individuals, community groups and businesses who go above and beyond each and every day to make our community even stronger. Leo has also won the U/12's Wollongong Chess Tournament and finished in 2nd place in the U/10's NSW Junior Chess League competition. These are all fantastic achievements and I have no doubt that he will continue to rise as an incredible chess player. I wish Leo Xu all the best in his future endeavours.
