On Tuesday 2nd April our Spelling Bee Team made their way to the Cartlon Hotel to host the Dublin Spelling Bee. This was one of our largest County Spelling Bee Competitions to date and it was great to see all participants and their supports in high hopes. A total of 73 spellers battled it out to be crowned our Dublin County Champion and they didn’t disappoint. The standard of spelling once again was extremely high with Jamie Caldwell from Scoil Cholmcille, Donaghmede scooping our top prize and was crowned our Dublin Spelling Bee champion.
