Registrations are now open for the Prime Minister's Spelling Bee and while the school round is currently underway you are able to register and participate up until the 23rd of August 2024.
The 2024 Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee is a free online competition for children enrolled in Australian registered schools including registered homeschools that are attending grades 3 – 8.
A Home Education parent/teacher account will be set up for each family. You will need to provide a current Home Education registration certificate, your child’s year group equivalent, an address and phone number. You will then be registered and issued with a temporary password.
Please contact Donna Emery at the Office of the Education Registrar on 6777 2548 if you would like a digital copy of your current Home Education registration Certificate emailed to you. You could also take a photo of your hardcopy registration certificate to upload if you have it handy.
A consent form is not required, however you need to read through the terms and conditions of the competition.
If you would like to apply or for more information around the competition, you can access further details through the below link.
