Prof. Sky Alton 260 Posted July 3, 2023 It’s time for our End of Year and Spring term awards! Firstly though, I’d like to thank all of you for your hard work this year. While we didn’t finish as high as we’d have liked to in the house cup race, it was an incredibly close run thing. I honestly didn’t know what the result would be and that’s testament to the amazing performance you were all putting in. I know we can do even better next year! We also have another close fought race to celebrate. Gryffindor placed second in the interhouse quidditch tournament - our best result for many, many years. Thank you to @Prof. Maxim Trevelyan and to the rest of GQT for showing up and playing like champions. I’d also like to thank our prefect team of @Lorainia Riverrider and @Reyyan Azkendrafor their sterling efforts keeping everyone entertained and informed this year. They’ve put on some ingenious activities for us all and hopefully there will be plenty more magic to come! Now, I promised you shiny things and here they are…. We’re kicking off with our brand new awards! If you weren’t around earlier in the year, we had a contest to name our new awards. The winning names were chosen by Gryffindors in a vote and these are the result. Thank you again to @Janne Halla for submitting the winning names! These awards are designed to celebrate and thank every lion who works hard to gather house points during the year. We’ll be awarding these every school year from now on People who earned over 500 points receive The Brave @Avery Hill @Amanda Summers @Amethyst Silvermane Chasen Carter Davie Diggle @Doubhee Pevensy @Elizabeth Hermione @Ellie Vernez @Emerald Wolvenhowl @Ginny Chaves @Hanna Joyton @Harmony Potts @Janne Halla @Jessy Bleck @Lorainia Riverrider @Lucia Mayhew @Luna Lemongrass @Luna-Love Swan @Raevia Ward @Reyyan Azkendra @Timmy Le People who earned over 1000 points receive The Determined Davie Diggle Doubhee Pevensy Ellie Vernez Janne Halla Lorainia Riverrider Luna-Love Swan Reyyan Azkendra Timmy Le And people who earned over 1500 points receive The Daring Ellie Vernez Janne Halla Lorainia Riverrider Luna-Love Swan Reyyan Azkendra We did want to leave a little something as a surprise though. So I created a 4th award, for those courageous lions who manage to earn over 3000 points in a school year. I’m delighted to award the Minerva McGonagall prize to Janne Halla, who earned 3896 in total! And now onto our awards which are based just on people’s performance in the Spring Term… Platinum Quill – This goes to the highest points earner for the term. And it probably doesn’t come as a surprise that it’s going to @Janne Hallawho netted an incredible 2034 points just this term! And now for rubies. I’m delighted to award the Phoenix award to Janne Halla for being our highest earning Gryff on 155 and the Lionheart Award to @Lex Green of Ravenclaw for being our highest earning visitor with a sparkling score of 286! Finally, let’s close with the awards decided by the staff… Studious Simba – This is an award for someone who has distinguished themselves in their classes and possibly even found time to do some extracurriculars too. We’re glad to award this to @Doubhee Pevensy for a very impressive performance in class and in the Zodiac activity over on the HOL Forum. They were our second highest point earner for the term on 1490 - absolutely brilliant work! Golden Snitch – We’re reviving an old award this time! This used to be handed out to members who showed particular enthusiasm and after showing up for both the Triwizard Tournament and Zodiac activities, we think @Ellie Vernez definitely deserves that designation! Consistent Cub – this is an award for an all-rounder: someone who has been showing up regularly, trying everything and generally proving their Gryffindor daring all over the castle. With stellar performances in the departments, in activities and on the Quidditch Pitch, @Janne Halla is a very worthy recipient indeed. Friend of the Den – This is awarded to someone outside of Gryffindor who has made a significant contribution to the house. We’d like to hand it to @Prof. Sindor Aloyarc for designing our beautiful new award graphics! Congratulations to all our winners! We’re always looking to improve the awards process, so if you have any suggestions about awards you’d like to see or changes you think we could make, please do drop me a PM. For now though, let’s celebrate. Butterbeer awaits! 1 Share this post Link to post
