SPELLING BEE COMPETITION


Gabriel Victoria Foundation Spelling Bee competition was targeted towards Primary six (6) students in Public Primary Schools around Ikirun, Osun State. The first of its kind took place at Holy Trinity Secondary School on the 21st of June 2023. The event was graced by dignitaries from SUBEB, notable primary school teachers, and observers.

The Spelling Bee was organized to encourage pupils to learn the English lexicon, sharpen their cognitive ability and to help them gain confidence in public speaking.

Below are the names of the winners, their schools, and their position;

1. Ogunniran Roseline (1st Position) - CAC Primary School, Ikirun.

2. Omoloye Quadri (2nd Position) - Methodist Primary School II, Ikirun. and

3. Abdulraheem Fawaz (3rd Position) - St. Paul RCM, Ikirun.

Initially, the organization gave awards and promise to pay the students tuition fee from JSS 1-3 and also to buy them books and uniforms. However, this decision was annulled with the rise of sponsors who took it upon themselves to transfer the three students to a new school (a private school) KIDVARC HIGH SCHOOL, IREE. The scholarship program covers the student tuition fee, transportation, uniforms, and books from year one to three. All three students were gained admission into Kidvarc High School and have started since starting in September 2023. Thanks to our sponsors.
