House Spelling Bee 2020

Deborah Young —

This year we had many students enter our Linwood College House Spelling Bee. Over the past few weeks we have had several ‘Spell Offs’ to determine our four finalists for our Juniors and Seniors.

This year in our Final Junior House Spelling Bee we had Abigail Soliman - Kākāriki, Recca Brimon - Karaka, Ordane Hunt - Kōwhai, George Ashton - Waiporoporo.

Senior House Spelling Bee Finalists were Caitlin Templeton - Kākāriki, Elise Lester - Karaka, Gabby Clarke - Kōwhai, Boadicea Lynch - Waiporoporo.

All students represented their house well and spelt some pretty amazing words such as anachronistic, extenuating, reconciliation and many more tough words.

When the Junior and Senior scores were finally added we had our Winners. A tie-breaker - 1st equal - Waiporoporo and Kākāriki.

3rd equal - Kōwhai and Karaka.

Well done to everyone who competed, supported and helped this amazing event.
