Shared term opportunities, accepted contributions, and Lodge Perk Points.
Lodge Challenges bring members of one Lodge together around an approved Merit Challenge. Each published opportunity has a shared target for different members whose work is accepted. Reaching that target earns one Perk Point for the Lodge, once for that opportunity.
Joining and completing the work
Open Lodge Challenges in your Lodge Commons to review the opportunities for the active School term. Each opportunity states its source Merit Challenge, the number of different members required, the minimum Patron tier, and its progress. Up to four opportunities may be published for a Lodge in one term.
An eligible member joins their own Lodge's opportunity. Faculty do not count as participating pupils. The Lodge must meet the stated Patron requirement when a pupil joins or submits work, and any academic prerequisites must be satisfied before the first enrolment. Returning to an opportunity already joined opens the existing assignment.
Complete the assignment through My Studies in GSW Mobile or through Challenges in the School website Grimoire. Read the task, submit the required work, and review the instructor's assessment. The assigned Faculty instructor determines whether the work is accepted.
Individual merits and shared progress
Accepted work earns the merits specified by the source Merit Challenge. The collective target counts different accepted contributors, so repeated submissions by the same pupil do not provide additional people toward that target. A submission awaiting assessment does not yet count as an accepted contribution.
Once the target is reached, that opportunity grants one shared Perk Point. A Lodge may therefore earn up to four Challenge Perk Points in an active term. These points increase its Patronage budget for that term and do not award academic credit or personal Campus Standing.
A published opportunity keeps its term slot even after completion; completing it does not create another opportunity. Published slots cannot be replaced during the term. The next School term begins a fresh Challenge allowance and Patronage allocation.
Publication and related challenge systems
The Headmaster, Master of Studies, and Master of Pupils may publish Lodge Challenges through the Faculty workspace. Publication associates an existing Merit Challenge with the Lodge, a term opportunity, a contributor target, a minimum Patron tier, and an assigned active Faculty instructor.
The Faculty workspace provides Lodge Challenges, Review publication, and Publish Lodge Challenge. If publication is interrupted, use Check publication and, where offered, Retry same publication so that the same opportunity is recovered.
These four term opportunities have a specific Perk Point purpose. The established provisions for Prefect challenges, departmental challenges, other Merit Challenges, and campus Challenge Kiosks retain their own requirements. Registration or completion in one system does not automatically complete a different system.
See Lodge Patronage and Perk Points for spending the shared budget and Challenge and Merit System for the School's wider merit arrangements.
