Following the tremendous success of the MINDSTAR National Spelling Bee & Tech Park2026, which culminated on 13th May 2026, A.L. Williams Educational Services &Consultancy, in collaboration with the Office of the Member of Parliament for Point Fortin, theHonourable Ernesto Kesar, proudly launched the MINDSTAR Labour Day Spelling Bee &Tech Park 2026 – Point Fortin Constituency Primary Schools Edition.

This special Labour Day edition marks a significant innovation in the MINDSTAR programme.For the first time, the competition adopted a school-versus-school team format, moving awayfrom the traditional model where individual students competed independently. Each participatingschool was represented by a team of four students — one Standard 4 student and three Standard5 students — encouraging collaboration, teamwork, strategic thinking, and collective schoolpride.

The new format created an exciting atmosphere as schools worked together to prepare theirteams, strengthening student leadership, communication skills, and peer support whilemaintaining the high standards of literacy excellence that have become synonymous with theMINDSTAR brand.
