thetelegraph.com.au Spelling Bee involves several stages through which students must advance in order to be eligible to participate in the Grand Final, to be held at The Daily Telegraph on 26th September, 2011.


Note: All students, including home schooled students, can be registered to play the Spelling Bee game and enhance their spelling skills. Only registered New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory schools are eligible for semi-finals and the grand final.


Very SWEET! Schools with the highest percentage of active Spelling Bee participants at the end of the Spelling Bee will be entered into the draw to win an $8000 pallet of honey to be used as a P&C fundraiser.
