Our school is an ardent participant in various spelling bee competitions such as the Kingsley Spelling Bee Competition South Africa and those organised by the Department of Basic Education. The spelling bee plays a vital role in primary school education as it enhances several key skills crucial for academic and personal development. Participating in a spelling bee improves language proficiency and literacy by expanding learners' vocabulary and reinforcing correct spelling. The competitive nature of a spelling bee cultivates resilience and confidence as learners face challenges and learn to manage nerves in a public setting.
