AJ, Koy, Christos, Amy, Lataysia, Jahan, Scott, Allen, Keenan, Phoebe, Taby, Bianca and Rocky for the Stage 3 final. After a succes ful competition the winners and runners up were:
Stage 1 Winner: Jack
Stage 1 Runner up: Gian
Stage 2 Winner: Yiren
Stage 2 Runner Up: Kevin
Stage 3 Winner: Taby
Stage 3 Runner Up: Christos
Our Stage 2 and 3 Winners and Runner Ups went to the Regional Final at Illawong Public School and even though we had no winners there, all of the contestants should be proud of their efforts to make it to this stage. The 2013 Spelling Bee was very successful so if you are in Year 1 to Year 6 you should try hard and get ready for the 2014 Spelling Bee.
