Hi folks! Here we go, this is my first Bi-Weekly Update! A fact which I find both exciting and terrifying, so here's hoping I don't mess up too badly! 
House Cup Winner!
The House Cup for 2043 has been awarded to Slytherin! The final tally of House Points was 5561 to Slytherin. Congratulations to the Snakes!
Graduation!
If you've missed out of these topics, you're really missing out! Graduation for 2043 is up and running. The topic for guests and spectators can be seen here and for any outgoing graduates who are looking for one last hurrah in Hogwarts, the topic for graduates and speakers is here.
End of Year Feast!
The End of Year Feast has been posted! Make sure to post your adieu to Hogwarts here before heading of on holidays! With that in mind, students should try to wrap up any rps taking place in Y27 and incoming students are advised to make sure any topics they join are set in the new year, Y28!
Holiday Forums!
Speaking of holidays, holiday forums are now open to students for the duration of the break! Make sure to take advantage of the student's freedom!</COLOR>
<COLOR color="#000">Sorting!
Sorting is about to open, make sure to keep an eye out! Also, please be patient with other applications, as they will be delayed until all our new firsties have been sorted! As for now, feel free to post your reactions, hopes, and fears in this topic!
Group Changes!
There's been a change in the group system in HNZ; the Member and Family groups, are no more, but the pretty colours will now be assigned to the Magical and Muggle groups. For more details, check out the full announcement here.
Professor Applications
Hogwarts New Zealand is looking for professors! If you've ever been curious about the role of professor, or if it's something you'd be good at, be sure to apply. The positions to be filled are as follows;
Herbology Professor for years 5-7 (This position is permanent.)
History of Magic Professor for years 5-7 (This position is permanent.)
Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor for years 1-7 (This position is temporary.)
Transfiguration Professor for years 5-7 (This position is temporary.)
Don't be shy about applying, and be sure to read through the descriptions about what the position entails. Best of luck to all applicants!
Character Development
Staff recently did a clean-up of the Character Development forum, and we'd like to encourage members new and old to make use of the forum. Character Developments are a great way to get under a character's skin and really get a feel for roleplaying them. Feedback is also a great feature of Character Developments, so feel free to get stuck in!
Role-playing Development Area
Another change, is the removal of the Role-Playing Development Area. The area hasn't been used in recent years, and so this change won't effect general activity on the site, but we want to keep you guys informed!
Keepin' It Clean
Quick reminder guys, as per the board rules, all discussion on the board and roleplays remain appropriate for anybody as young as 13 to read or take part in. For anyone who is unclear about what is/isn't permitted on the site; the Board Rules should clear up any confusion.
