LAGOS – My Dream Stead School has concluded its Internal Spelling Bee Competition for college students, with Senior Prefect Ochulor Precious emerging as overall winner after a keenly contested final.
The competition, held at the school premises, drew about 150 participants across the junior and senior secondary levels. After several elimination rounds, five students advanced to the grand finale: Aguzie Kosiso (JS1), Kingfinney Umeh (JS2), Abah Henry (JS3), Semilore Fashoro (SS1), and Ochulor Precious (SS2).
According to the Proprietor of the school, Ambassador Isaac Success Omoyele, the contest was designed to test more than rote memorization.
“This is more than a spelling bee competition, because beyond spelling the words, the students equally provided the meanings and used them in sentences,” Omoyele said. “We believe that challenging students is vital because it moves them beyond rote memorization, fostering deeper cognitive engagement and critical thinking.”
At the end of the final round, Ochulor Precious clinched first position. Semilore Fashoro emerged first runner-up, while Kingfinney Umeh took second runner-up.
As winner, Ochulor will receive a scholarship, an all-expense paid holiday to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and will serve as “One Day Proprietor” of My Dream Stead School.
School officials said the competition forms part of My Dream Stead School’s broader effort to promote academic excellence, public speaking, and confidence among students.
