The 2016 Spelling Bee Competition was an unquestionable success and the participants were remarkable. We have had some unforgettable and exciting moments that I will cherish as each competitor was determined to win the trophy.  However, in a thrilling Grand Finale, two students were outstanding and undefeated so they were crowned the Junior and Senior Spelling Bee Champions.

The support from some staff and students was also very encouraging. Let me take this opportunity to specially thank Mrs Abby Castleton and Mrs Jo Green for their support throughout this competition. It was greatly appreciated.

A few teachers and learning support assistants rose to the challenge and took part in this competition as they competed for the accolade of ‘Teacher/LSA Spelling Bee Champion 2016’. Their involvement added much fun and excitement to the competition. A huge thanks to these individuals. I would like to make special mention of and congratulate Mrs Sharon Clark for retaining her title as the Teacher/LSA  Spelling Bee Champion . Miss Michelle Glavic must also be commended for her effort.

I thoroughly enjoyed organising this competition and I look forward to another fabulous competition in the next academic year.
