alt_selwynThings have been quite hectic, but I didn't want to delay any longer before writing to say that your CCF students were truly a credit to the program in the hour or so following the attack at the Quidditch World Cup.
A number of reports have mentioned the CCF students who used mediwizardry to provide first aid to injured guests. There were two girls on level 20, I believe, and another down on level 12. Others assisted children who'd become separated from their parents (including my own daughter), put out fires, organised the people sitting near them to discourage a stampede as people started leaving, offered their services to MLE, etc. I believe Draco Malfoy freed a lady sitting near him from a pile of rubble, even as Healers worked to keep his father alive.
I would very much like to recognise the CCF programme, and the heroic service provided by these students, at some point this autumn. Perhaps at a YPL meeting? I would would welcome your suggestions for honours that would prove meaningful to the students involved.

Date: 2011-09-03 10:56 pm (UTC)Thank you for your kind words for the programme! I am most proud of how our CCF students leapt to help others, and used the skills they had so recently learned.
One of the students who helped on level 20 (Sally-Anne Perks) has suggested to me that a YPL session on basic medwizardry might be quite helpful. I need to see about making arrangments with appropriate staff, but perhaps that would be an excellent occasion to recognise the good work of the CCF students?
In terms of honours, while some of our students certainly have a glowing future ahead of them already, others would greatly benefit from a letter of recognition that could be referenced as they apply for future training and employment. (And as you know, encouraging talented students who do not come from the best families to be of great use to the Protectorate is one of the goals of the programme).
Perhaps some sort of party or other pleasant occasion might also be appropriate, however, since of course students are not always long-term thinkers yet. Perhaps something special at Hogwarts, or maybe a special afternoon in Hogsmeade without other students could be arranged? (I'd certainly be glad to assist in arrangements, or in chaperoning in the latter case...)
