Congratulations to Sophie who represented
Stanwell Park and the South Coast Region in the Finals of the
Premier’s Spelling Bee this week. These were held at the ABC
Centre in Sydney on Wednesday and were broadcast live on ABC
radio. Sophie is an outstanding student and performed extremely
well in the very demanding, high pressure
situation of the Finals. There were 36 students competing in
the Finals from all over the State. Sophie successfully
negotiated 8 rounds spelling
words such as wondrous, strenuous, corroboree, extortionate,
malleable, maelstrom and myxomatosis. It got very exciting
for Sophie and the group of students who travelled to Sydney as
supporters, as Sophie continued down to the final 13
competitors. Sophie did a fantastic job in very difficult
conditions and we are all very, very proud of her achievements.
To be in the top 13 of students
in NSW for spelling is a brilliant achievement – well done
Sophie!
