The Buddy Programme

[willow quinn porter]

We all have our little friendship groups, don't we? But the Deputy Headmaster and I have been thinking about shaking things up a little bit. You see, most people have friends. Don't get me wrong, that's great, but it means that a few of our newer and/or more timid students are left without association. And, frankly, I don't think that's fair. Do you? No? Didn't think so.

However, we have set up a system that intends to mix you lot up a bit. Those who sign up will be given a 'buddy', someone to talk to and hang around with so that no one is left friendless. Please only sign up if you are interested.

[/i] I cannot stress this enough. Please don't bother if you're just going to end up opting out again. If you'd like to be a buddy, then by all means, put your name down! Just remember to be nice to your charge.[/blockquote]

Sincerely,

Miss Willow Porter
Headmistress[/size]

You have all been given almost a month to sign up for this, and so we're going to close it off now. We're fairly satisfied with the umber that signed up, and we'd like to commend them for it. We know it's hard, but it'll help in the long run. Who knows - you might even gain a few new friends out of it! We'll see, won't we? I hope it all goes well for you.

So, now we have the pairs! Each name has been put through a randomizer and paired with another, and these are the pairs that the computer came up with:

• Ackley Lynch - Adam Maddox
• Chase Jackson - Jasper Mulhern
• Natesa Mayjor - Kit Tatham

Feel free to arrange to meet each other whenever, wherever. All that we ask is that you give these pairings a shot. Don't hesitate, though, to find me or Mr. Redferne if it isn't working out. We'll try something else.

Sincerely,

Miss Willow Porter
