So you think you can spell?

Sun 30 June 2008 - The RHB-New Straits Times SIR (Spell-It-Right) Challenge for Melaka state was held last Sunday 22 June at the Mahkota Parade. MGSS was represented by four enthusiastic Form 5 girls who sacrificed their day of rest and tuition classes in order to test their spelling skills. The spelling competition was a challenging one and I myself couldn't spell quite a number of words. MGSS did rather well in the competition (see results below) and we are looking forward to staging an even better show next year!
