This term's Headmistress Challenge fit well into a common thread that we've touched on a lot in Ravenclaw House this term, where we have been talking a lot about taking the time to take care of ourselves. But the HMC went beyond that, and encouraged us both to take care of ourselves and to help others. There were four rounds, each with a theme on a certain sort of "bettering" to do. Together the members of the Cup took on many different tasks to make the world better in so many ways!
This was a really important task, but you know your Stats Reporter well enough by now to see where this might be going. You know I can't resist a good graph! So I decided to first check on what our participation rate was. From the House as a whole 51% of students participated in at least one round. As you can see from my first graph, here, the Seventh Years really went for it, with the First Years on their heels!
But of course there were four rounds of bettering projects to be done, so I decided to calculate how many times each one of these students participated. The House as a whole averaged 2.74 posts for each participant, and as you can see, the Sevenths are once again out front with every single one of their participants doing all four rounds!
As you might suspect by the previous two graphs, that led to the Sevenths charging far into the lead on points per student. They might be our smallest Dorm at only five students, but their powers are mighty! I'm proud every one of the students who went out and tried to make something better, but a special thank you goes out to those 43 of my Housemates who turned something in for every single round. The points are nice, but the bettering that resulted is, well, better!
