Bee-utifully spelled!

By Miss Hayley Oldfield, Head of Houses

Earlier this week one of the youngest competitors, 14 year old Madeleine Luu from Acacia, outspelled her rivals to be crowned the Best of the Rest spelling bee champion.

Confidently spelling words that would make even the most avid reader frown, Maddy easily moved through the competition.

The competition began with a House round earlier in the term, where students from each House put their skills to the test in front of their peers. The top performers from each House then progressed to the semi-final round, where the stakes – and the word lists – intensified.

The grand final took place in front of the entire Secondary School on Wednesday and showcased the top spellers from each House.

At the end of this nail-biting competition, Maddy took home the trophy, having demonstrated exceptional spelling prowess and composure in front of her peers.

The results were as follows:

Congratulations to Acacia and all participants for their incredible hard work and outstanding performances.
