WELCOME TO YEAR
7 On Wednesday 3 July, thanks to our Middle School partners, we were
able to welcome to CNS all of those students currently in Year 7 and due to
join Year 8 at CNS in September. A busy and highly structured day gave students
a taste of what lessons and assemblies at CNS will be like. The day gave us the
opportunity to set our expectations clearly from the very start. Students rose
to the occasion and were a credit to their present schools and teachers. The
Year 9 students who acted as 'buddies' to the incoming Year 8 provided
excellent role models and were a credit to CNS.
SUCCESS FOR ALL AT
CNS New routine arrangements that ensure success for all of our
students are being introduced in September. A letter will be sent home before
the end of term containing further details. With the introduction of the new
uniform from September there will be no need for students to arrive at school
looking scruffy. Supplies of the new uniform are available at John Lewis plc.
Those who choose to wear the existing uniform next year need to dress correctly
with shirts tucked in and ties done up. Outdoor coats and hats should be stored
in lockers and trainers are only required for indoor PE lessons.
LOST PROPERTY All clothing and footwear should be clearly
marked with the student's name. If you think you may have lost an item of
clothing or equipment at school, please see Mr Burns.
KS3 SPORTS
DAY Participation was the theme for Thursday's sports day. Some stiff
competition coupled with good humoured rivalry ensured that the day was a
success. All Y8 and Y9 Forms entered teams. In Year 8, 8Ca were narrowly beaten
into second place by the victorious 8Dr. Outstanding performance certificates
were awarded to Corrina Gillies and William Stewart. Thanks to the PE team and
many other staff for managing the day so well. |
KS3 CHAMBER
CONCERT A varied and entertaining programme was performed on Thursday
evening including some difficult pieces which were played with some skill. A
review will appear in the next Echo.
ACTIVITIES WEEK Next
week is Activities Week. Normal lessons and registrations do not take place.
Students need to follow the detailed instructions given to them by Activity
Leaders. Some residential trips depart this weekend and others on Monday
morning. Good luck to all Activities. The success of the week will depend upon
good relations between all involved and therefore the highest standards of
courtesy and thoughtfulness are required throughout. We hope that the
experiences next week are valuable and enjoyable.
YEAR 8 AND YEAR 10
SCHOOL REPORTS Reports have been prepared and will be ready for
students to read through on Monday 15 July with their Tutors. They will be sent
home via students on Friday 19 July.
GOOD DEEDS Three female
CNS students were commended as being 'extraordinarily good' as a result of
their assistance at the scene of an accident at the Leopold Road junction after
school on Friday. The person involved would like to thank the girls personally.
If it was you, please see Mr Boyd!
END OF TERM In the last
week of term, Years 8, 9 and 10 will have Awards Assemblies to celebrate
