Hello all, and welcome to another Bi-Weekly Update!


Sorting is Closed!!
Sorting this year was very successful! We have a grand total of 104 new first years gracing the halls of Hogwarts New Zealand. The breakdown of new first years is as such:


Gryffindor:
29
Slytherin: 26
Ravenclaw: 24
Hufflepuff: 25

A huge welcome to all of our 104 of our new first years, and to our two new transfer students! Check out sorting reactions here!

Quidditch
The first Quidditch game of Y29 has ended in a Gryffindor win! If you missed out on the game, you can see it here and glory in the snitch (finally) being caught! Also, any celebrating Gryffindors can head to the Victory Party in the Gryffindor Common Room!

New Shopkeepers!
We've some new shopkeepers to announce!

The new shopkeeper for the Mākutu Dinette is Teila Owens-Lee
Meanwhile, Honeydukes is under the care of Ruby Folsom
And last, but not least, the Inner Eye will be in the capable of hands of Professor Wren Louise

Congratulations to all our new shopkeepers!!

Week 3!
We're heading into Week three now, so students, make sure you're up to date on lessons! All week 2 lessons should now be posted, so professors please be sure you're up to date, and if you're having any difficulties, let us know and we can help out

Tutor Program!
Once again, the tutoring program is being run in HNZ. It was very successful last year, so why don't you sign up? You can put your name down to be tutored, or as a tutor, so be sure to check it out! Big thank you to Abby and Kaye for running the program!

COMPETITION!!
Tamara redeemed her White Elephant prize! The result; THE FILL IN THE BLANK COMPETITION!! Be sure and take a look at the entries, and maybe come up with an entry of your own? Can't wait to read them.

Holiday Forums
Holidays forums are closing for student characters! Be sure to wrap up any rps you have as quickly as you can before this happens! You may already be too late...... o_O

Applications
Applications re-opened on Friday, now that sorting is finished, but things will be going slowly for the time being, so please be patient! Good things come to those who wait!​

I think calling that the only problem is very generous xD

Thanks for the update! I really look forward to the tutoring program and quidditch! :wub: and Hufflepuff stealing that lead and starting a winning streak
 
literally same thought Daphne xD
 
And also stopping them is the fact that Felix also has a girlfriend :r
 
It doesn't seem to be stopping anyone xD poor Ellie :(
 
I know! Like Felix think about your girlfriend who you decided to date AFTER LYRA
 
Thank you for posting, Maia!
 
Excited to read the dramatic rps and to see the new shopkeepers around :D

Thanks for the update!
 
Thanks for the update!!
