Hello, lovely peeps!! Claire here.
We've got some exciting updates to get into today, so I won't delay!
Back to School!
Monday marks the start of the new school year! A big welcome to all the new first years.
Third years and above, don't forget to enrol in your classes via the gradebook. If you haven't got the supplies required to sign up, the professor might still enrol you, but you'll need to reach out to them and ask.
Speaking of school supplies - shopkeepers, please remember to complete your transactions so that the students' purchased items arrive in their inventories. The holiday forums are now officially closed.
Haven't sorted yet? Itching to sort another? (You know you are
) The sorting ceremony will be closing later this week, so don't put it off too much longer!
Quidditch tryouts are coming to an end so post quickly if you haven't. And the club fair is just getting underway!
PROMOTIONS!
Oooh, who doesn't love the anticipation and excitement of group promotions?! Congratulations to the new Head Boy, Felix Carnahan, and the new Head Girl, Molly Burke! They look incredible in their new colours.
Congratulations as well to the new prefects of each house:
Marnie Frogg
Penelope Marshall
Emmanuel Okoye
Michael Watson
Mischa Falter-Butera
Lennox Addison
Chaos Zhefarovich II
Kyon Lockwood
Well-deserved all round! And finally, welcome aboard to Professor Noel Waldgrave, who will be taking over teaching DADA lower years. Congratulations, Jamie!
Wheelbarrow Race
What better way to kick off the school year than with a wheelbarrow race? This HNZ tradition is always a lot of chaos and fun, so grab a partner and head on over to the sign-ups before October 17th to participate. Don't have a partner yet? Don't be afraid to post in the thread asking for one! No doubt someone else is in the same boat and will be more than happy to pair up with you.
Thank you all for staying with me until the end! I hope you have a lovely week, be good to yourselves, and stay cool
Any questions/comments/concerns, post below!
