ORGANISER SPEAK : The contest this year, had to be converted to the ONLINE MODE, mid-way due to the COVID19 pandemic. This was a challenge as SPELLING BEE generally involves pronunciation and calling out of words. However, we have done research and developed new methods and types of questions and rounds to be able to have the contest in the online mode, successfully. The school authorities, parents and students have responded wonderfully with full cooperation. In fact, this has opened up a new thought process and the future editions will see more such contests being held online. Special care was taken to ensure that there was full transparency and monitoring, all the while ensuring that no child suffered due to any issue of technology.

The quality of competition and performances of the students were of a very high standard and as good as any in the world.
