These are the new and old subjects that are available from this year onwards.
New classes can be added as time goes by.
Additional classes like the Study of PIERAGE and Magical Cultures can be taken as an elective.
As Madam Bones spoke, her words were written on a floating board to the side of the stage where everybody could see it clearly.
Madam Bones: Is there anybody who would like to add a subject or maybe debate the removal of one?
There were a few murmurs but nobody spoke up.
Madam Bones: Then I suggest we get the show on the road and get to the evaluating part of the teachers.
The new positions will be advertised in the DAILY PROPHET and on the WIZARDING WIRELESS.
Once again, anybody who wishes to put their names forward for a position, can do so by writing their names and wanted position on a piece of parchment and dropping it in the Sorting Hat.
Once all the positions have been filled, the advanced studies will be put up for adoption.
The current Professor for the subject COULD adopt that subject, or it will fall to a new Professor all together.
No Professor can hold more than TWO positions at the same time.
This goes for the subjects like POTIONS and CHEMISTRY. They might be linked, but both needs a dedicated Professor to do them justice.
Professors are allowed to have Teachers Assistants during the year for classes only, NOT for marking assignments, tests or exams.
Elective Classes that do not run every day can be substituted by one or more Professor IF they have a mastery or degree in it.
ANY QUESTIONS?
Once again there were some murmurs but nobody stood up.
Madam Bones: Okay then, according to how I see this, we can now break for lunch and meet up after that to discuss which students wish to be resorted.
In the case of too many students going into one house, the HOUSE system will fall away and the students will then go according to YEAR alone.
The HOUSES will still exist, but only in situations like HOUSE teams for Quiddich or other clubs.
As usual all students will line up and sit for the Sorting Hat to resort them according to their wishes.
ANY QUESTIONS?
This time there was a stir in the crowds and a woman stood up.
Mrs Thomas: I only have one question. Will the students have to get new robes? Not many people can afford to change robes twice a year.
Madam Bones: No, they would not have to change robes.
Their marked robes will be used if they participate in one of the activities in school time to show to which team they belong.
Other than that their normal school wear will simply be charmed into a formal white long sleeve shirt with buttons, a short sleeve shirt with buttons, long black slacks for boys and a black skirt for girls. Black socks and black shoes.
Their outer robes will be plain black and their winter cloaks will be the same.
If the involved student wishes to show a little bit more of team spirit and they can charm their clothes by themselves, they may wear team colours all through the year.
They will also receive points toward their year meter for a spell well done.
Points that have already been earned will simply be carried over into the new system.
The individual student will also build up merits for themselves by doing small things like this to show team spirit.
Does this satisfy your question Mrs Thomas?
Mrs Thomas: Yes thank you Madam Bones.
Madam Bones: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
Madam Bones was met with silence this time and continued to dismiss the crowd to go and enjoy their lunch.
