Description

The annual Year 9 Spelling Bee was held on Friday lunch-time, with 23 entrants.  It was hosted by Elise Jollife (Library Prefect) and Julia Wells (Peer Tutoring Prefect).  After a 20 word written round, and a 1 word oral round, two spellers were tied.Spelling2Spelling1

Both Mariah (909) and Gisela (953) had 100%, with 22/22,  and they entered a spell-off, where they would get a word each until one of them got it wrong, and the other correctly spelt it.  But both spellers were too good and didn't get a single word wrong after having about six each, so they were named 1st equal.

Top overall class went to 953, whose three spellers got a total of 44/66.  Third place went to Ali (909), who got 18/22.
