TECHNOLOGY
FESTIVAL A range of interesting activities have been featured at CNS
this last week. A permanent display in the Hall has attracted much interest and
our various visitors - Inspire, Ken Farquhar, Johnny Ball - have provided many
new insights into science and mathematics. Middle Schools and parents have
joined CNS students and staff during the week. Many thanks to our sponsors for
their support and to Thea Abott, our Community Education Worker, for her
organisation.
TECHNO-FETE
The sun shone weakly, the bouncy castles wobbled and
Fairways First danced nimbly around the maypole. We were honoured to have
Lobster Thermidor (see Robot Wars BBC2 this evening) and Millennium Bug to open
the fete and the Strolling Players and Jazz Band provided some great
entertainment. Thanks to the great efforts of the organisers The Fete raised
almost £3000 and this will go towards purchasing theatre lighting for the
Hall.

Y8 and Y9. Students who use them must bring their own inhalers and medication

LOCKERS
Please empty your locker before the end of term and hand
your locker key to your Form Tutor on the last day of term. Throughout the
summer holiday lockers will be checked, assessed, repaired and replaced where
necessary. There is no guarantee to students that the locker they have this
year will be the locker they will have next year. If any student has lost their
locker key then a replacement will cost £2-50, which should be paid to Mr
Burns. Students wishing to have a locker next year can beat the queues by
paying by cheque this term, and keys will be ready for you first day back in
September. Cheques should be made payable to: CNS S/F Account and handed in to
the Finance Office who will issue a receipt. This receipt must then be taken to
Mr Burns who will up-date the information on the computer. All outstanding
debts must be cleared before a locker is re-issued to a student.

students received a Bronze Certificate, 9 Silver and special congratulations to
Claire Rymarz 8Kr, Eleanor Slorach 8Dr and Ashley Ward 8Cm who achieved Gold

as to take her into the Junior Mathematical Olympiad on 11 June. Well done
everybody!
SCHOOL REPORTS Year 8 and Year 10 school reports
will be issued to students to take home on the last day of term Friday 19 July.
Students will have an opportunity to preview their reports with their Tutors on

successful. Remember, if you are ill on a particular day and cannot attend you
need to phone the employer as well as Miss Wind at school. |
