RP School Staff at Hope Harbor School

[Camille Yorcliffe]

Hope Harbor School is now hiring staff positions for our school starting January 16th.  Hope Harbor School is a role-play K-12 school with child and teen avatars, and serves as the official school system for the Willowdale and Willows Cove family-oriented communities in SL, a combined four sims of active SL families and children living together in a neighborhood setting.

We want: teachers, lunch ladies, recess monitors, sports coaches, or more... your imagination is the limit!  We are looking for people to facilitate role-playing settings and experiences in the school environment, whether that's in class, after school activities or clubs, recess, lunch, counseling, or anything other school related environment you would like to organize, help promote, and plan.  We offer a variety of different experiences ranging from pure role-playing to classes that incorporate SL skills like building, scripting, etc. as well.

Helpful skills include:

- Role-playing experience, and especially family role-playing with child avatars.

- Experience as a manager or coordinator for SL events or venues.

- Teaching experience either inside or outside of SL.

Pay depends on the interest you generate in your role-playing setting, and ranges up to 500 L$ / week.  The time commitment is one to three 45-minute sessions per week, on your own schedule.  To allow you to present yourself as on your own terms, we don't have an application.  If interested, please write a notecard explaining why you are interested, what you bring to the table, and your vision for a class or other school experience, and send copies to Kethry Triellis, CeCe Briner, and Camille Yorcliffe.

(Note: Hope Harbor is located in Willowdale, and is the one and only school system for both the Willowdale and Willows Cove communities, a combined four sims of active families and child and teen avatars.  Neither the three year old Willowdale community nor Hope Harbor School are associated in any way with the schools that began this year calling themselves "Willowdale Elementary" and "Willowdale High School".)

Just an update... we are still considering particularly outstanding applications for teachers at Hope Harbor School, but we would especially be interested in applications for the following positions:

 

• Sports coaches for soccer, fencing, and baton twirling, or other playable SL sports.  No previous experience is required, but for the fencing coach, an understanding of the En Garde fencing pistes would be helpful.
   
• Lunch and recess monitor.  The position requires strong off the cuff role-playing skills and a deep understanding of child avatars, and the main responsibility is to facilitate and monitor ad hoc social environments to make them as rewarding as possible.
