The University of Canterbury is offering your child the opportunity to participate in the KIWI Spelling Bee competition. These competitions take place annually and are designed by New Zealand teachers for New Zealand students. The competitions are administered by the Centre for Assessment and Monitoring (CAM) at the University of Canterbury. The competitions are open to all Year 5-8 students. The Kiwi Spelling Bee assesses aspects of English grammar, spelling and vocabulary relevant to the student’s Year level. The online Spelling Bee will take place in the last three weeks of Term 3. Certificates will be sent to all participating students and prizes will be awarded to overall top students. The cost for this competition is $9.50 which will be added to your school account. Please email Di Murphy at dimurphy@pegasusbay.school.nz if you would like your child(ren) to enter this competition before 2 August.

  Students will need to have their own headphones/air buds to listen to audios throughout the competition.
