"Ettalong Public School is hosting the event, which will involve approximately 80 participants from all over the southern part of the Central Coast," Ms Andrews said.
"They have been putting in many hours of extra study in preparation for this event, and regardless of the results, I congratulate them on getting to this stage of the Premier's Spelling Bee challenge."
