The competition saw more than 100 students from 10 primary schools in NCD take part.
Students in the upper primary or senior level competed today with the 1st round proving tougher than expected.
From the 8 students who took the stage, Coronation Primary School, Salvation Army and Port Moresby International School survived the first surge of elimination.
Spellers from these three schools battled on until POMIS bagged the first of 4 rounds.
