In the competition, our students became the 2nd Winner in Presentation Category. Congratulations to Livio and Lucia, the students representative from Junior High Secondary School. After the competition SIMAK asked them to give information and share about the event. Here’s our interview with them :

“Sir, I topped the second round of elimination” Tiffany Griesbach of Grade 6 was quoted as saying when she jubilantly informed her coach of the initial results. This has been the story of the three Stella Maris International School spelling wizards as they imposed their unprecedented dominance in the recently concluded EF-sponsored spelling contest held 17 October 2009 at EF Gading Serpong.

Tiffany Griesbach of Grade 6 emerged the EF National Spelling Bee 2009 Champion-Category B last 8 November 2009 at Dhanapala, Jakarta, outclassing equally brilliant spellers from all over Indonesia.
