Unendingly fascinating, especially for a non-native speaker
without English at time of enrolement at Spotswood P.S, and, needless
to add, serial failure at the regular spelling tests—the annual Big Spell just
warming up here again. Upper Primary cohort, although some younger level Four
again early inducted this year in a record high number of participants. The
photo showing most in their school-uniforms on Easter Saturday and
arrived before dawn in many cases.
Not altogether easy first round: pterodactyl, haberdashery and herpetology sifting sheep from goats
this year. (Archaisms and specialist terms not unusual in this competition.)
Words beginning with the slippery haitch gave worst nightmares, reportedly. Organizers
identified the sportsmanship on display as the essence, the "heart and
soul" of the competition.
