The University of Canterbury is offering your child the opportunity to participate in the KIWI Spelling Bee competition. These competitions take place annually and are designed by New Zealand teachers for New Zealand students and cover grammar, spelling and vocabulary.

The online competition will be held on Monday 1 September at 9am. Parents/caregivers will be provided with an individual student report outlining student performance distributed by the school. All participating students will be awarded a certificate and prizes will be awarded to the overall top students in each year group.

The cost for a student to participate is $9.90

Students will need to have their own headphones/air buds to listen to audios throughout the competition.

NOTE: UOC policy is not to release test papers. The tests are provided primarily as a competition and not as a teaching resource. Entries are administered by the school. For further information, please consult the CAM website.
