Hello all and welcome to another BWU from myself! We have a number of things to get through, so lets just get into it.
Reading Week
We are now in the reading week! This is the week break between the semester and the exams. Now is the point to post any classes that had not yet been posted, and for students to try to play catch up. Professors should also try to keep on top of their grading as we head into the final weeks of this semester.
Club Events
HNZ is abuzz with club events. From Heta Omega's age old little sister club event to the Wild Patch having doing some gardening, things are busy in the clubs. Here are all the events currently ongoing that your characters could be involved with:
Heta Omega - https://hogwarts.nz/threads/heta-omega-meeting-s1-y45-making-your-mark.119192/
SDA - https://hogwarts.nz/threads/sda-y45-s1-defending.119182/unread
WPC - https://hogwarts.nz/threads/plantin...s-herbs-or-vegetables-wpc-event.119326/unread
Brotherhood - https://hogwarts.nz/threads/brotherhood-meeting-y45-s1-as-you-like.119232/
Arts Club - https://hogwarts.nz/threads/cac-y45-event-a-piece-of-home.119312/
Costume Contest
Following the fun of halloween, here are the winners of the costume contest:
Best Overall - Summer Irvine
Best Magically Enhanced - Sky Erikson
Most Scary - Zerrin Fergusson
Best Group/Couple - Emmanuel and Penelope
Most Ridiculous - Friday Weeks
Most Traditional Halloween - Teddy Pirrip
ACCIO
As a general reminder, do remember to post pictures in Accio before it is too late. The areas will close early in 2024, and the next few weeks will fly by. Be sure to do it before that time runs out.
New Orchid!
Folks, you might've by now noticed that there's a new purple name lurking about the board. Two weeks ago now, we welcome Kaitlyn back into the fold. Head on over here to read that announcement. GMs are integral to the site and support the admin in daily tasks.
Holiday theme
As we head into December, be warned that HNZ will switch out its boring theme, for the holiday theme. This will happen not a moment before December 1st, so I expect no one complaint or comment about it being too early!
Secret Santa
As is an age tradition, HNZ's secret santa is now live. Head on over here to read all about it and decide whether you'd like to be involved. This is great fun and just a way to do something festive for someone else on the site.
Apps
As we head into December and the Christmas period, expect a slow-down in app responses etc. We know that not everyone celebrates the holidays but, we at the staff have always used it as a wind down moment, allowing a bit of a pause for us. So we'd welcome everyone's patience with us on that.
Shopkeeper
Speaking of Apps, we have a couple of shopkeeper apps on the go right now, head on over here to be able to find them. If they take your interest, do be sure to apply before they vanish.
And that's it!
