Fernside School pupil claims bragging rights as New Zealand's top year 7 speller
A North Canterbury pupil will start the new school year on a high after being named New Zealand's top year 7 speller.
Fernside School's Rose Hussey took out the annual International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) 2018.
The 11-year-old, who enters year 8 this year, has taken part in the assessments since she was in year 4, and last year took four tests: English, spelling, mathematics and science.
She was awarded a high distinction in spelling, science and mathematics and ranked in the top 1 per cent of year 7 participants across the country.
Well done Rose!
