Five pupils from Lincoln Heights Secondary School competed against five pupils from St Oswalds.

Pupils flaunted their remarkable spelling and memory skills during a gruelling one-hour session.

Congratulations to the 2015 Spelling Bee winner, Sha-lee-sha Mansen of St Oswald’s. She proved dynamite really does come in small packages!
