Year 6 - Prime Minister's Spelling Bee

Over the past few weeks, the Year 6 students participated in the Prime Minister's Spelling Bee. The Spelling Bee allowed students to compete in a fun online format where they aimed for accuracy, beating the clock and finishing ahead of their fellow students right across Australia. Students may not have been familiar with all the words they are asked to spell. However, being exposed to new words and their definitions, helped expand their vocabularies. This competition was held by Kids News and three of our Year 6 students were successful in advancing to the State Final. While they missed out on the National Final, we are very proud of how well they did. Well done to Lyjah King-Togia, Olivia Nolan and Charles Sullivan for their success and to all of Year 6 who had a go and tried their best.
