Nathaniel and Cooper are two of our 5/6C students who are looking forward to future competitions.
Nathaniel
I recently won the Regional Spelling Bee at Sawtell Public School and later this month, I will be going to Sydney to compete in the State Spelling Bee. My winning word was symmetry. Each competitor is given a list with hundeds of difficult words that you are allowed to learn but during the competition they can also give you some words that you have never heard of or are not on the list. When it is my turn and I am on the stage, it can be extremely nerve wracking. I'm looking forward to going to Sydney and hopefully, I'll win.

In September, I went down to Sydney to try out for the Under 14's Dingo World Series. The Dingo World Series is a baseball competition and teams from around the world are coming to the Gold Coast in January to play for a week. I will be in the Northern NSW team. I started playing baseball three years ago and I like it because I have met good friends. Baseball is an exciting game.
