| HALF TERM HOLIDAY
The half term holiday begins after school today, Friday, 26th May. School resumes at 8.45 am on Monday 5th June. This is the last day of lessons for Year 13: we wish all students every success in their examinations and thank them for their contribution to so many aspects of school Life. EXAMINATIONS School examinations for Years 8, 9, 10 and 12 begin in the first week back after the half-term break, on Thursday 8th June. Examination timetables have been published, so students should be aware of when each subject will be examined. The examinations are important in that they give students experience of the public examinations they will be sitting in the future and teachers additional information about individual progress and attainment. SUMMER UNIFORM Summer uniform concessions begin immediately after the half-term break. Blazers, sweaters and ties do not have to be worn either in school or to and from school. All other items of uniform such as shirts, skirts, trousers and shoes remain as published on the official uniform list. Please do not try to introduce variations into the requirements: uniform will continue to be checked on the usual basis. SCHOLARSHIPS Congratulations to Stephanie Warwick and James Barron of Year 12, both of whom have been awarded Norwich Research Park scholarships, which will enable them to spend part of the summer holiday at the John Innes Centre. |
SUMMER FETE
Detailed information about the Fete on Saturday 24th June and requests for offers of help and/or donations are printed on the back of this copy of the Echo. Students in Years 8 and 9 have been issued with envelopes containing raffle tickets to take home to their parents. We hope that parents will do their best to sell the raffle tickets to their friends: there are plenty more books in the school office for anyone who wants more. ANTHOLOGY A letter giving details of the CNS Millennium Anthology has been issued this afternoon to students to take home to parents. The illustrated anthology takes examples of CNS students' creative writing from the opening of the school in 1910 until the present day and gives a fascinating sense of the ways in which the school- and society- have changed during the past century. We hope that many families will want to buy a copy of this unique record. The millennium record which all students and staff signed during the Spring Term will be taken to be bound in book form after half-term and, with the anthology, will be an important part of the school's archives. D of E AWARD SCHEME A group of twenty-four Year 10 students, accompanied by Mr Martin, Ms Taylor and Dr Knott, have completed their practice expedition for the Duke of Edinburgh's Bronze Award. Despite being tired and having a few blisters at the end of the expedition, the group stayed in good spirits and had fun, helped by the excellent weather that weekend. |
