Student Achievement
Spelling Bee State Finalists
04 September
Year 7 student Isabeau Turner, and Year 8 student Braxton Donovan, participated in the state finals this week for the Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee.
As part of the state finals round, they competed against students from around Victoria, where they were judged on a range of 30 words for spelling and time taken.
Some of the words they had to spell were: pasteurised, truculent, antithesis, nefarious, misogynist, cruet, chlorophyll, calumny, vanadium, commodious, quoth and nomenclature. No mean feat!
The next step for Isabeau and Braxton is National Finals, and we wish them both the best of luck.
