We are thrilled to announce that the Aotearoa New Zealand Spelling Bee is back in 2025.
The Aotearoa New Spelling Bee programme helps students gain a love of the English language. It is also an exciting learning journey for students in Years 1–10 to learn words that they can use with confidence for the rest of their life..
Our two programmes include te reo Māori words and are FREE to all schools around the motu:
- The National Spelling Bee competition for Years 9-10 students - Registrations open in June 2025
- Spelling Resources for Years 1-8 students
- Teacher Awards worth $2000 each plus a trip to Wellington to see the National Spelling Bee Final
Register now so that your students can participate.
Aotearoa New Zealand Spelling Bee is a charitable trust.
