HoneyKids Spelling Bee 2026: AIS Celebrates Our Champion Spellers 

What an exciting day it was when Australian International School hosted the HoneyKids Spelling Bee finals! Our Year 5 elementary school students rose to the occasion, competing against talented spellers from OFS, ICS, and OWIS in a thrilling showcase of vocabulary skills and composure under pressure. The energy in the room was electric as each student stepped up to the microphone, and we could not have been prouder of the performances our team delivered. 

Our Champion and Finalists Shine 

The real star of the day was George S, who claimed the U11 champion title after an impressive seven rounds of intense competition. His winning word? “Aisle” – a fitting triumph for a student who has clearly put in the work. But the celebration did not stop there. George W earned his place as a finalist, while Seonyul Y made it through to the semi-finals. Each student demonstrated remarkable dedication and skill, representing our international school community with distinction. 

Excellence Built on Support and Dedication 

None of this would have been possible without the brilliant preparation behind the scenes. Teachers Rebecca Hamilton and Jennifer Hill led our students through regular lunchtime CCA sessions, building confidence and vocabulary week after week. Their commitment to nurturing these young spellers made all the difference. We would also like to thank HoneyKids Asia for organising such a well-run and inspiring event. This is what excellence in elementary education looks like: students pushing themselves, teachers believing in them, and celebrating every achievement along the way.
