Congratulations to Stratford College's Spelling Bee Team, who secured 5th and 6th place (Sean (1st Year) and Niamh (2nd Year)) in the 2018 Spelling Bee Competition held annually in Belvedere College.
Their other team members were Rebecca (5th Year) and Rachel Murphy (2nd Year). The spellers were there to defend the crown attained so admirably by Ryan Baker last year during a nail biting, thirty minute spell off! This year our spellers successfully spelt mammoth spellings such as: Kakidrosis, phthisiophobia and coprolalamania. Well done to all involved!
