Hello one and all! Ignore that this is just a little late, and let's just get right into it!
Reading Week
Folks, we are now in the reading week! This is the last week before the exams hit and a pivotal moment for catch up. All professors should now aim to post all of their remaining classes and if they have not, we'll be in touch soon. Students, now is the catch-up period, time to push Slytherin out of the lead.

Quidditch - other schools
Quidditch is always great fun, and the other schools brought a great game! It was nail-biting and after one seeker was removed from the Beauxbatons team, their replacement was able to quickly seal the deal for Beauxbatons! Quidditch is always a lot of fun, and from the way games have been going this season, I'm really excited to see who wins the cup and the final game. Go Hufflepuff!

Daycare Head Position Announcement!
The app for this recently closed, and we are happy to announce the new leader of the daycare centre: Sofia Loris, Kiersten. I'm sure everyone will join me in congratulating Kiersten on the new position! We know you'll do great.

Halloween
Here are the winners of the HNZ IC costume contest for Y43 :

Best Overall - Aine Thompson (Camilla) as A Ghost
Best Magically Enhanced - Gwen Goodwin (Daph) as the Queen of Diamonds
Most Scary - Ethan Alexander (Kadi) as Mothman
Best Group/Couple - June Davenport and Tempest Vero (Jamie/Kiersten) as Pretty/Ugly Cats
Most Ridiculous - Marnie Frogg (Kris) as a gingerbread house
Most Traditional Halloween - Max Goose (Steven) as a Headless Hunter

A huge thanks to all those who participated in the Halloween event and who submitted costumes.

Accio
While we're on the subject of submitted costumes, here is your bi-weekly remind to share and post your pictures to Accio to ensure they are included in the yearbook. These will close in like a month or so, so there is still time, but the time will pass quickly.


HNZ Summer Raffle 2023
We love a sunshine competition, and we have announced our winner:

Donna! Whose name also has a little sun next to it! It's always a fun, no effort competition. Thank you to those who participated, and better luck to everyone next time.

Anonymous compliments
OOC Valentine's Day was almost a week ago now and our near annual anonymous compliments struck again. Anonymous compliments are a nice thing to do and are always very welcome. Thank you to everyone who submitted compliments, and you can head on over here to read them if you haven't already.

Moving bios/threads
We've had a few asks recently about who in the staff to go to about moving bios or threads. By in large they can be sent to any staff member, though during the sorting period please do mostly send them to the GMs, who will have more time to do them.


  • Sharing a Room - It's good fun again in the first years slytherin girls dorm. With three First Year Slytherins who meet. Pillow's are been thrown and alliances are made. Never a dull moment.
  • Enceinte - The Westwick family unexpectedly grows a little bigger.
  • Pencils and Crayons - Harking back to their first meeting, Nell asks Jasper an important question.
  • Opposite Directions - A chance encounter leads to a dramatic misunderstanding.
  • The Great Broom Heist of 2058 - A few of the second year Gryffindors attempt to sabotage the Hufflepuff team by stealing their brooms!


  • Yuleball!
  • Exams!
  • End of Semester 1!

And that's all folks! Until next time!

Thanks for the update, Emzies! I've never had a character win anything for the costume contest so this was very exciting and am so glad to share it with Jamie!
 
Thanks for the update! And congratulations to Kiersten for the position and all winners of Halloween. It was an nice suprise to see June and Tempest winning. Enjoy this with Kiersten as well <3

I think June would be pleased with one trophy with her name on already xD
