Student Staff Selection '94

ABOUT STUDENT STAFF

Hogwarts' student staff serve as role models for their fellow students.  Additionally, they reinforce/penalize good and bad behaviour by issuing and taking away house points. In addition to prestige, prefects receive half of their tuition and heads all of their tuition in exchange for their efforts. They also get to use the prefects’ toilets because that is clearly a selling point.

Faculty recommendations will be handled privately, NOT via the prefect apps.

To apply, make sure your character meets the demographic in question (IE sixth year Ravenclaw female should be a female student in Ravenclaw house who will be in sixth year in September) and has at least 10 posts on their account. Head students do not need to have been prefects first, but it will help their case if they were.

Characters approved on or after June 1st only need five posts on their account—so you’re welcome to make a character to fit the bill ;) You must post the form below as a reply to this thread from the account in question.

Why Should You Be Prefect:

I may not be the headmaster's son, but I am the son's BFF a strong candidate, in my own humble opinion. I have already demonstrated reliability and dedication through my post on the quidditch team and my standing of Prefect, and believe I am a role model in two key areas.

Socially, I consider myself to be well-liked. While this alone does not qualify one for such a position, it should be noted that I have cultivated friendships both within my house and in others, and I do not restrict my friendships to those of a certain social class, having held a position on my house's quidditch team since my first year. I have been particularly loyal to my closest friends for much of my life.

Academically, I have sought high achievement since the beginning of my time at Hogwarts. I am a hardworking student who has had a love of understanding the world around me since I was a boy. I performed very well on my O.W.L. examinations ("other" section) and have enrolled in seven courses for further study. Though a loss in my family in September did impact my performance for a time, I have remained respectful and engaged in my classes (1, 2) this year. I also do not keep my brain to myself, helping other students with their academics when needed.

I thank you very much for your consideration.

Why Should You Be Prefect:

To our faculty,

Nobody embodies what it means to love a school more than the girl who in her first year, wished to be somewhere else. Those feelings are long gone and this wonderful place is my home.

I would dearly like to be considered to be a prefect. I am punctual, polite and have a disciplinary record that is without blemishes. My etiquette is très magnifique which will help me in my endeavours to help other students shine and assist in group situations or assingments.

My English was poor when I first started Hogwarts, but I have persevered, as I do in class, including in subjects that I find Less enjoyable or more difficult. This is an important characteristic of a student that hopes to set an example.

I feel that I have the grace, poise and elegance that will allow me to set a good example for my peers and be a shining ambassador for our school. I have made friends in school, supporting our quidditch team with a passion befitting a prefect, whilst remaining a feminine distance from the actual practice.

Please consider my application with the merit that I hope you feel it deserves. I promise that you shall not be disappointed with my performance.

Yours sincerely,
Mademoiselle Violetta Elise Decroix
