Starting with the Opening round, featuring words such as ‘attorney’, ‘jeopardy’ and ‘antonyms’, the difficulty level rose rapidly in the Intermediate round — ‘incandescent’, ‘animatronics’, ‘benevolent’ — right up to the terms in the final challenge: ‘perpendicularity’, ‘dendrochronology’ and ‘retinitis pigmentosa’. It was a progression that kept the audience on the edge of their seats right up to the very last word.

Vittoria Cup Spelling Bee: words have a champion
This Monday, the auditorium at Vittoria Junior International School was transformed into a literary arena. The secondary school classes competed in the Vittoria Cup – Spelling Bee Competition, the annual event that tests concentration, memory and command of the English language.
Their classmates played their part: posters, banners and enthusiastic cheering turned the competition into a real team celebration.
The clear winner was Greta B., who claimed the title of overall champion in this year’s competition, beating off fierce challengers and demonstrating exceptional skill.
