State Spelling Bee
Jessica Nguyen of 5/6C was one of 43 contestants competing in the Senior State Final of the Premier's Spelling Bee 2016. The competition was held at Eugene Goossens Hall, ABC Centre, Ultimo from 2-6pm. Jessica made it to round 5 of the competition, which marked the start of the 'unseen' word category.
In 2016, over 136 000 students from 940 schools participated in the Spelling Bee at a school level. Over 3500 students progressed to regional finals. Jessica did extremely well to make it to this level of a State competition and we are proud of her efforts.
A big thank you to Ms Fairs who has been organising the Spelling Bee and training the students.
