Bee Brilliant! The Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee is Back

The Primary School is excited to announce the return of the Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee to our school for the third consecutive year!

As part of our ongoing focus on developing strong literacy skills, the Spelling Bee encourages the girls to recognise the importance and value of correct spelling in a fun and engaging way.

The competition is open to all girls in Years 3–6. The school round will be conducted online in Week 7 (31 Aug-4 Sept), with students challenged to spell 30 randomly selected words, having 25 seconds to spell each word. Students with the highest number of correct words in the fastest times will progress to the State Finals, with the opportunity to advance to the National Finals.

This year, participation is optional. Girls who would like to challenge themselves and take part in the competition will need to register, with a parent/carer completing a consent form.

Please keep an eye on Seesaw for further information about the competition and how to sign up. Until then, you can visit the official website here to find out more about the competition or email Kristy Williams for more details. If your daughter would like to test the waters first, she can try the Bee here. 

We encourage all eligible girls to take on the challenge, demonstrate courage and persistence, and dare to be brave learners. Whether they spell every word correctly or not, this is an opportunity to say, “I stick to my learning, and I keep trying.” We look forward to seeing our girls embrace the challenge and celebrate their learning.
