It is mandatory that all students sign up for the HOL newsletter. (Non-students may subscribe as well, just leave the student-ID field empty when you sign-up.)

In addition, 1-2 editors from every House are needed for compiling the House section of the newsletter; please talk to your Head of House if you want to help. Details on how to submit paragraphs that should be included in the HOL Newsletter will be posted on the website soon. Everything that you would want all HOL students to know (Contests, Events, New Profs, New Prefects or any other Authorities, Class News, etc. etc.) can be submitted.
