ELECTION OF GOVERNORS
All students will take home today a letter regarding the forthcoming Election of Parent Governors to fill two seats that will shortly become vacant on our Governing Body. These vacancies have occurred because the Governors concerned will come to the end of their term of office on 11 May. All parents or guardians of children attending the school are entitled to stand for election, propose or second candidates and vote. Governors play an important part in the work of CNS and the experience can be very rewarding and enjoyable. Nomination papers can be collected from the school office and completed forms must be returned to the school by Thursday 10 April. If more than two nominations are received a postal ballot will be necessary.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD
Many involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme participated in an orienteering exercise recently. The next scheduled meetings are: 4 April - Trangia Challenge, food and nutrition; 11 April and 17 April - Route planning. Meetings are held in Room 28 from 2.45 to 3.45pm.

YEAR 9 REPORTS
All Year 9 students will be given their reports to take home today. A reply slip will be included. Please complete this and return to the Form Tutor. Included with the report will be the Key Stage Four Choices form. It is important that this is completed and returned to Tutors by Wednesday 9 April. The range of pathways available to students is more extensive than in previous years. Please do contact your son or daughter's Tutor, Ms Webb or Mrs Smith if you would like to discuss possibilities in further detail.

YEAR 9 PARENTS' EVENING
This takes place next Thursday 3 April from 5.30 to 7.30. Students need to make appointments for their parents/carers, as appropriate.
SPORTING ROUNDUP
Our Year 9 Football Team beat the undefeated Taverham side in their league match 5:0. The Year 8 Boys Basketball won 46:10 in their match against Thorpe St Andrew. Well done to both teams!

GERMAN EXCHANGE DEPARTS
Twenty CNS students together with Mr Kreft and Ms Wind-Avery left school early on Wednesday morning bound for Koblenz. Students will be with their German partners until 4 April. Gute reise!

SCHOOL UNIFORM
Please remember that this school year is the last during which the OLD school uniform may be worn. By September, all students need to wear the school fleece and polo shirt combination. The blazer and shirt or pullover and blouse will no longer be permissible. John Lewis plc stocks CNS uniform and PE kit. Members of staff there will be happy to help you. At the CNSA Fete on 21 June, John Lewis will have a stall at school in order that purchases can be made on site.

USE OF THE GROUNDS
It is good to see such extensive use of the field and other outside areas as the Spring weather arrives. Please bear in mind that we all have a responsibility to maintain our school as an attractive and welcoming place. The Site Team and many students work hard to keep up standards and it is dispiriting when we have to pick up other people's rubbish. The bins provided across the site may be objects of great beauty but their main purpose is for us all to put our litter into. Please use them! And thank you to the vast majority of students who are helping to create a pleasant environment at the front of school by no longer walking on the lawn.
