As the final days approach, schools across Australia are racing to register for the Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee, an exciting opportunity for students in Years 3 to 8 to showcase their spelling prowess. This free, online competition aims to ignite a passion for words and literacy among young Australians, offering a unique blend of education and fun.
The Spelling Bee is accessible to all schools nationwide, providing an inclusive platform for students to participate, regardless of location. With the registration deadline looming on Friday, August 23, 2024, teachers are urged to sign up their students for a chance to compete in this national event. The process is straightforward: teachers create an account, register their classes, and prepare their students for the challenge of spelling 30 randomly selected words in just 25 seconds each.
What makes this competition even more thrilling is the grand prize. National champions in each age group will win a trip to Canberra to meet the Prime Minister, alongside an iPad, a HarperCollins book pack, and a $1,000 voucher for their school. It’s a reward that not only recognises individual achievement but also supports educational resources for the winning schools.
Aligned with Children’s Book Week, the Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee underscores the importance of literacy and language appreciation. It’s a golden chance for students to dive into the world of words, with the added excitement of substantial rewards.
Schools and teachers are encouraged to seize this last opportunity to register, ensuring their students don’t miss out on this enriching experience. Visit the official website to sign up and prepare to buzz through the words with your students.
