The Friends of Ronzls Foundation is dedicated to promoting education and inspiring students to reach their full potential. Our focus is on providing opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge, talents, and values. One way we achieve this goal is through our Annual Inter-School Spelling Bee and Quiz Competition, which assesses participants in English Language, Mathematics, Basic Science/Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and General Knowledge/Current Affairs

This is undoubtedly the most demanding project of the year. All hands were on deck since the beginning of the preliminaries. From having a sit-down to discuss strategy on how each year’s competition would be better than the previous to setting up questions to collating results of the preliminaries, then coordinating a special competitive exercise at the School for Special Needs, and then to the Grand Finale.

The 2023 Annual Inter-school Spelling Bee and Quiz Competition, involved 10 schools from which we had 50 participants, narrowing down to 10 finalists. We had 100 competitors from 20 schools {Special needs competed differently within their school amongst themselves}. Due to its complexity, all members of staff handled different aspects that led to the success of the competition.

There was a local organizing committee in charge of compiling questions for the preliminaries as well as the Grand Finale and other aspects such as preparation of the venue, registering and mobilizing the participants, invitation and appreciation of the head teachers at the schools before and after the competition, and awards ceremony.

The competition was held in a friendly and fun-filled environment, bringing together pupils from 30 primary schools in Sagamu. The event rewards exceptional learners, encourages healthy competition, and fosters a desire for academic excellence among students. With our mission in mind, we aim to create a brighter future for students and promote the value of education in our community.
