Dimapur, October 2 (MExN): The 3rd Dorians Society Spelling Bee has been scheduled for October 26.
In this connection, the organiser, the Dorians Society, Dimapur, has extended an invitation to both government and private schools in Dimapur, Chümoukedima, and Niuland districts to participate.
Each school can nominate two students from Classes 7 and 8 to represent their institution, the organiser said. It further urged schools to appoint a teacher-coordinator to accompany the students to the competition.
In the earlier two spelling bees, the competition was open to students of Classes 7, 8, and 9; however, for 2024, it is limited to Classes 7 and 8 to enable greater participation from government-run middle schools, it added.
The deadline for the submission of participants’ names is set for October 19. There is a registration fee of Rs 200 per student, but government schools are exempted.
The competition will be held at the Kingdom Culture Church, located in the Vikiye Complex on Tajen Ao Road, opposite the Notun Basti entrance gate.
