HAPPY 2003
We wish all CNS families a happy and successful new year. Term started on Monday when we were pleased to welcome a number of new students. We also welcome two new teachers - Miss Ward who joins us to teach Music and Miss Leeds to teach PE.

PROGRESS REVIEW DAY
On Tuesday 14 January 2003, all students will attend a Progress Review interview with their Tutors. Normal uniform should be worn and Main School students should bring with them their Planners. Parents are invited to attend the meeting that will last around ten minutes. Students only attend school for their interview. No other lessons, unless specifically notified, take place that day.

YEAR 11
On Wednesday evening Year 11 parents and students attended a meeting concerning revision and preparation for the GCSE examinations. The evening is planned to take place prior to the mock GCSE examinations which commence on Monday 20 January. Students are on study leave throughout the ensuing fortnight. Students or parents who would like copies of the materials that were distributed on Wednesday are invited to contact Mrs Collard.

LOST PROPERTY
Named items of lost property are now returned to students directly. Unnamed items are stored in the School Office from where they may be re-claimed. All such items that have not been re-claimed - including uniform items - will be available for sale between 2pm and 3.30pm on Friday 24 January at school.

GARY PERUZZI
Gary's funeral was held on Monday 23 December and was attended by several students and members of staff. We will remember Gary for his determination and for his sense of humour. He set a good example for others and he is greatly missed.
CNSA JUMBLE AND INDOOR BOOT SALE
This takes place at school on Saturday 1 February 2003 in the Dining Room and Sixth Form areas.

NORFOLK YOUTH MUSIC THEATRE
Auditions are being held from January 8th for Sweeney Todd and Bendigo Boswell. Further information is posted on the Drama noticeboard and on www.norfolkymt.com or (01263) 825718.

TRAVELWISE
We have been awarded a Certificate of Achievement for our involvement in the Walk to School week last June. Travelwise promotes safe and healthy travel to work and school as well as the concept of 'living streets'.

PARENTS' SURVEY
As part of ongoing review of our work, we are keen to sample in some detail the opinion of parents. We have commissioned Kirkland Rowell Marketing to undertake the survey for us and questionnaires will be distributed to a random sample of parents (via students) on Monday. If you receive a questionnaire, please would you do your utmost to ensure that the response is returned by the date indicated on the envelope? This is but one aspect of our monitoring, evaluation and review of the school, the aim of all of which is to provide the best education possible for students.

TECHNOLOGY CONTESTS
Entries for the Robot Wars competition need to be delivered to the Technology office by 15 January. More forms and assistance from Mrs Darling.

The Technology Sign competition was won by Gavyn Lubbock who was presented with a CD player at the end of term Assembly. Katherine Fletcher was runner up, Amy Edwards 3rd and Jamie Brambleby 4th. Thank you to all who entered.
