Philosophy

The Citadel believes in leniency with rules and regulations, and prefers a relaxed approach to them. As such, there may be more warnings before suspension, though the student can also be immediately suspended depending on the severity of their action; however, it is rare. Each student and teacher deserves a safe learning environment, and the Citadel will ensure they have such. Punishments include, but are not limited to:

 

1st Offence - Verbal Warning

2nd Offence - 2nd Verbal Warning

3rd Offence - In School Suspension [I.S.S.], Removal from Clubs/Coven

4th Offence - Headmaster Intervention, Guardforce Intervention

5th Offence - Expulsion

THE STARFELL CIRCLE

Chancellor Dame Viktoriya

For the overachieving students of the Citadel who wish to learn a magick or pick up alchemy, the Starfell Coven exists. Participation in this elective will not affect the student’s grades, and rather, provides them a way to learn the actual practice of, rather than theories of, magick and the material arts. Alongside this, students who participate in the Coven will be considered the ‘student government’ of the Citadel.

 

- Student Government

- Magick & Alchemical Tutoring

Inspired by mythos from many different cultures, the Circles of the Citadel of Hexenstadt are groupings of students based on personality and classes which compete for points and in school competitions (like sports). They are divided into three main categories: The Monoceros Circle, The Qilin Circle, & The Strix Circle, and a fourth smaller circle named The Starfell Circle which acts as the school’s government; one which can only be joined through hard work and dedication. Each also has a Head of the Circle, a student who acts as their leader, and a Head Teacher, a professor who acts as their … Chaperone, of sorts. 

 

With the colours of Silver & Red, the Monoceros Circle - based upon the myth of the Monoceros creature (otherwise known as the Unicorn) which boasts a magickal affinity and a curved horn - are a house of students who commonly take the Military or Survivalist studies, or typically act frugal and wise. 

 

With the colours of Bronze & Green, the Qilin Circle - based upon the myth of a scaled stag with dragonlike features, whose rare appearance coincides with the birth or death of a ruler  - is a house of students who commonly take the Medical or Military studies, or typically act clever and attentive.  

 

With the colours of Gold & Black, the Strix Circle - based upon the myth of a human-bird hybrid whose presence was thought to be ill-omen - is a house of students who commonly take the Metallurgy or Arcane studies, or typically act more benign and playful.
