YPL Counsellor selections

[alt_sinistra]

Good evening, everyone. I'm sorry to be later with our announcement of the YPL counsellor selections than I'd hoped, but we had some extremely difficult choices to make this year. All our applicants turned in thoughful and interesting applications, and in many cases it came down to final details in our interviews.

We also deeply appreciate an anonymous donation that allowed us to take on one extra counsellor and solve a challenging decision among the selection committee.

For those of you selected, please stop by during my office hours to discuss the possible schedule, and there will be a brief meeting of YPL counsellors from all years to discuss summer plans at 4:15pm on Wednesday, May 30th.

Many congratulations to our new additions to the YPL counselling staff.

Susan Bones
Katrina Bundy
Michael Corner
Ernie MacMillan
Draco Malfoy
Harry Marvolo
Pansy Parkinson
Padma Patil
Sally-Anne Perks
Dean Thomas
Ron Weasley

And of course, the best of wishes to our NEWT students as they begin their exams.

Miss Greengrass -

I know that our decision above is not what you'd hoped, so I wanted to write and let you know that it was an extremely difficult choice. Should any of our existing counsellors need to drop from the programme this summer, you are the top of my list for a replacement.

A large part of our concern had to do with our discussion of the slips in the quality of your work over the past few months. I understand Professor Slughorn has had a word, but if I can be of help, please let me know. You're a bright and talented young woman, and I know the past term is an exception to your usual high standards.

If you'd like to discuss further, I'd be glad to - just arrange an appointment outside my usual office hours so we'll have some privacy.
