ARTSMARK SILVER
We are delighted that CNS has been awarded Artsmark Silver. This is in
recognition of the school's commitment to providing opportunities across all
the arts from drama to music, design to literature, dance to sculpture. Well
done to students for making the most of these opportunities and a big thank you
to staff for all their hard work in achieving this award. A press release will
be made today.
SUMMER CONCERT
An extensive and varied programme was enjoyed by a large
audience last Friday evening in the Hall. The welcome appearance of the School
Choir and Second Orchestra was complemented by 'Dance E-Jay', an innovative
display of computer simulated music. Individual and group pieces by Year 13
leavers were very well received but the best was saved for last. The School
Orchestra performed two difficult pieces with great success. 'Entry of the
Gladiators' was performed with enthusiasm then Bach's Concerto for Two Violins
gave scope for Greg Easter and Luke Hellebronth to show their real flair in,
what was for both students, their farewell concert at CNS. Thank you to all
musicians and to music teachers for a wonderful concert.
TECHNOLOGY
FESTIVAL
This takes place at CNS between 19 and 25 June. A separate
flyer is being distributed about this.
DANISH EXCHANGE
Welcome back to the Year 9 students who have recently been in Denmark.
Thank you to our Danish hosts and to Ms Wind and Mr Burns, the organisers.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SCHOOL
We have received a letter from our local Police Inspector
congratulating the school on the progress in improvement to security on the
site. The positive relationship that has been developed with the police and the
practical measures taken have helped to make students, staff and property more
secure. |
