HAPPY NEW YEAR HNZers! I hope you all are having a great start to the new year. Grab a snack, sit back, and catch up with me on everything that's been going on across the site!
Y43 begins tomorrow!
Wasn't that a quick break?! But, it's true, Y43 begins tomorrow, so you know what that means. Get ready to dive back into quidditch, lessons, club activities, and shenanigans across the castle.
We don't have any new professors to name, but do want to thank all of the professors for their hard work.
We do have some new prefects and head students though!

Congrats to all of the new folks!
I'm very excited to see who wins the house cup this year! Good luck all!
Let's go Gryffindor.!
Sorting is still open!
Sorting is still going strong if you have one last student you want to get in to the school or want to entice a friend to join! It will likely close at the start of next weekend.
The transfer application closed mid-week and three individuals were successful in getting their transfer apps approved.
Holiday areas: Closing Soon
With the new school year starting, all of the holiday areas will be closing mid-week, likely around Wednesday. This means you should finish up those wand (and other item) sales!
New areas!
Over the holidays, two new forum areas appeared!
Within the ministry, there is now a cafeteria to accommodate all of your food needs. There is also now a daycare centre! We can't wait to see the RPs that will pop up in these two areas.
Accio!
The latest yearbook is out now! If you haven't taken a look, please do! And don't forget to give the yearbook staff a shout for all of their wonderful work each year!

Now you're caught up! Can't wait to see what the next two weeks bring. Enjoy them!
As always, feedback, questions, comments can be left below. Thanks!
