Zone Athletics Carnival Results

Last Monday, 41 students proudly represented Meadowbank Public School at the Ryde Zone Athletics Carnival. Our students gave their best effort, showcasing their skills and determination on a day that turned out to be rather rainy and cold. It was wonderful to see our students cheering each other on throughout the day, embodying the true spirit of sportsmanship.

There were many notable achievements from our students. Congratulations to:

Premier's Spelling Bee Regional Finals

We are proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our finalists, Katavu from 6H and Carter from 4L, in the Premier’s Spelling Bee. Battling against 30 other schools from across Sydney, both students demonstrated exceptional spelling skills and determination. 

Carter showed remarkable resilience, surviving a challenging round where every remaining contestant misspelled their word. This perseverance led Carter to become one of the last two spellers standing, ultimately winning the competition. Carter will now proudly represent our school at the State Final. 

Katavu also delivered an impressive performance, advancing to Round 7 and securing a place among the last eight students in a highly competitive field. Both Katavu and Carter have made us incredibly proud with their dedication and success. 

Congratulations to both students on their fantastic achievements!
