On Thursday 12 June, we hosted our 2025 Junior School Spelling Bee Finals in the CEC for all students in Years 3-6.

As part of the Junior Lumina program to support high performing students, the event was the culmination of a term’s preparation, which saw students engage in learning words for class spell-offs to determine Class Champions. All Class Champions then competed on stage at the Spelling Bee Finals.

The event also featured interactive audience participation, with students engaging in spelling challenges and word games led by Mr Hoppe. Congratulations to all our Class Champions, Year Level Runners-Up, and Year Level Champions!

Our Year Level Champions will go on to represent Canterbury College at the Saint Stephen’s College Interschool Spelling Bee next term, held on the evening of Wednesday 20 August.
