We would like to send our congratulations to Jayla Valsaint who showed great determination and courage in the TCI National Spelling Bee 2017.
We are very pleased to announce our Grade 6 student made it through to the second day of the primary school spelling challenges and finished overall in 6th place; a fabulous achievement.
In preparation for the TCI National Spelling Bee Jayla studied approximately 1000 difficult spelling words!
We also had a Spelling Bee winner from the International School in 2015, see blog
