Congratulations to Mrs Jenny Seward, our HOD English who was one of four teachers to win a Spelling Bee Aotearoa New Zealand Teacher Award. The awards were for innovative and effective programmes or initiatives that instil a love of language in students. 

Mrs Seward's programme involved building vocabulary through the study of etymology. She has won $2000 and travel and accommodation to enable her to attend a function to receive her award in Wellington later this year.
