Prime Minister's Spelling Bee

Local schools are being urged to get involved in this year’s Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee to promote literacy.

Member for Werriwa, Ms Anne Stanley MP, said the spelling bee, hosted by Kids News, is a fun way for students to develop a passion for words.

“Spelling bees are a lot of fun, and they have wider benefits like helping children develop confidence and a real love of words and language,” said Ms Anne Stanley MP.

“Literacy skills provide a fundamental base to learning other skills.”

Ms Stanley said schools in Werriwa can register to take part in this free competition by Friday, 18 August by visiting: www.spelling-bee.com.au.

“I would love to see all our local schools getting involved in the Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee,” said Ms Stanley MP.

“It is a great way for schools and their students to develop a love for words and spelling, which helps to improve literacy, comprehension, and critical thinking.”
