| COMIC RELIEF
Next Friday is Comic Relief Day and, at CNS, a non-uniform day for students who would like to pay £1 (towards Comic Relief) to participate. SCHOOL ASSOCIATION The 50:50 Auction is scheduled for Saturday. The Auction starts at 11am in the School Hall with viewing possible from 9.30am onwards. If you have any further items for sale, please contact Anne on 505636 this evening. And next Saturday, 17 March, it's Quiz and Chips. EATON ROAD Yesterday, representatives of CNS, the School Association and local residents presented petitions about safety issues in Eaton Road to the joint Highways Committee of the City and County Councils. Mr Rix explained to Councillors that the school, parents and residents are keen to work together to make the Eaton Road area a safer place for pedestrians and cyclists. 'THE CRUCIBLE' Captivating and emotive, the upper school production of 'The Crucible' continued the CNS tradition of outstanding drama. With impressive acting, the cast created a real sense of the history, morality and emotions at the heart of this play. Expertly directed by Mrs Baylay, the cast included Bridget Pipe-Fowler as Abigail, a demanding part which was brilliantly portrayed. Luke Jules showed his remarkable and well developed acting talent as the Reverend Parris, and Josie Shillito sensitively and skilfully engaged the audience as Elizabeth Proctor. Our thanks goes to the whole cast and crew of this unforgettable performance, and in particular to Dugald Ferguson, a former CNS student, who arrived at just two weeks notice to play John Proctor. His brilliant acting flair helped create such a memorable piece of drama. Reviewed by Edward Knapp |

SIMON'S SUCCESS Well done to Simon Bradshaw who has been awarded the Frances Willenden Prize, which is given annually by the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music.

He now hopes to take up a scholarship at Peterhouse, Cambridge, to study medicine' INK FOR IT Recyclable inkjet cartridges can be converted into PC World vouchers to spend on IT equipment.
