Last Day of Year for students

Premiers Spelling Bee Seven Riverina and South West area students competed in the prestigious Premier’s Spelling Bee State Final in Sydney yesterday.

From Albury West Angus Bell participated in the Senior Division. This is such an impressive achievement for Angus to represent our school in what has grown to become the biggest spelling in competition in Australia.

Angus was successful in getting to the last 15 and went out on the unseen words in the 5th round. He went out on “toreador”. Angus had already

correctly spelt flamboyant, squadron, classicism and fluorescent. A brilliant day I am sure you all agree.

Up and coming events Mentioned below are just some of the activities that are taking place at school in the coming weeks – I urge you to keep an eye out in the newsletter and in school bags for information as it is sent out.
