When contacting an admin with a concern, please make sure to give them 24 hrs. to respond, before PMing another with the same concern. Do NOT, however, PM an admin about pending applications or the sorting ceremony thread!
Make sure to approach your house Prefect or Head of House first with concerns, before moving onto an admin, especially a Headmistress. If they are unable to help, only then should you message an admin.

May is Housepoint Palooza Month!
This month is all about the housepoints! As we are in the last month of the term, it is all about getting those last housepoints to ensure your houses victory. This is the month that determines it all. If you are in first place, you better not get too comfortable for you never know, your competition may beat you. Even if you are in last place for the competition, you can make it to a higher place or maybe even first place, you just have to try! Good luck for the last month of the term, let this show off how much you can contribute to your house's housepoints!

LAST UPDATED: APRIL 29, 2012
TERM XVII ENDS: JUNE 15, 2012
DECREE/UPDATE:
With the new term coming up soon the staff thought up the idea to display the previous term winners (XVII) during the next term (XVIII). This will certainly display immense house pride and encourage the other houses to take down the standing contender(s).
DECREE/UPDATE:
Unlike before, the 'Student Rules' thread, 'Adult Rules' thread, 'HOS Support FAQ' thread and 'General FAQ' thread have been turned into announcements and are visible on any board that has announcements enabled. With these threads available anywhere, there is no excuse for rule breaking.
DECREE/UPDATE:
Everyone should take a look at the student rules, adult rules and HOS support FAQ. There have been changes and additions made to each that every member should be aware of.
DECREE/UPDATE:
Any member who is able to give or take house points: From this moment forward, any points added incorrectly by you or posted in an incoherent way (as in not done as specified in THIS THREAD) that can not be easily determined by a DH will not be added to the totals or will be left incorrect. This could cost your house points. If you have any questions, please PM DH Karisha Christensen (zanna).
DECREE/UPDATE:
A new rule on suicidal/self-harm posts has been updated in both the Student rules and Adult/Gradute rules. Please make sure you take a look at it!
DECREE/UPDATE:
The admins have come to a new agreement on the 'No Babies' rule for Adults/Graduates only! If you want to read more, take a look at the rules or for a more in depth explanation read the new General Support FAQ located Here .
DECREE/UPDATE:
We now have a Staff & Job Directory thread here on HOS. It lists all the jobs on HOS and who is in charge of what. The link to the thread can be found on HOS' Main Page under the PORTKEY side table.
DECREE/UPDATE:
