Charities Week Presentation to Nelson’s Journey
Holkham, the Winning house who as a house raised £517.80,
and the Head boys and girls who helped to organise Charities Week this year
were involved on Tuesday 18th April in presenting a cheque for
£3820.22 to Colin Lang from Nelson’s Journey.
The charity has expressed their gratitude for our fund
raising efforts and has said that the money we have raised will go towards a
camp that they are in the process of organising. In 2011 Nelson’s Journey
worked with over 200 bereaved children and young people were able to access
therapeutic camps and since January 2012 there has been an increased demand to
support young people. As a school we continue to refer students and access the
facilities that Nelson’s Journey offer.
I would like to once more thank all the students, staff and
parents who supported our charities week this year and in particular the head
boys and girls and 6th formers who worked so hard at organising the
event.

School Choir
On Thursday 26th April 2012, the school choir and
some year 7 classes were fortunate to participate in a choral workshop with the
BYU Singers. The BYU Singers are currently touring the UK, Norwich being their
third of 17 venues. Students began warming up their voices with the choir, were
able to listen to the choir raise the roof as they performed from their
repertoire. CNS students then demonstrated their choral talents, singing ‘Don’t
Stop Believing’ which was enthusiastically received by the Singers. The BYU
Singers then joined in the Glee version, complete with dance moves! It was
truly an unforgettable experience!
Message from Mr Nixon
I
have always believed that one of the ways of moving forward is to occasionally
look back. What I mean by this is that all
too often, and I include myself in this, we are driven to improve, to be
constantly aiming higher and that is both right and important. There are times when things get difficult or
our enthusiasm dampens so how do we motivate ourselves then? It may be that we are on our own or we have
other pressures to deal with, or are simply drained of energy. Looking back to see how far you have travelled
can be a real inspiration. Of course you
can’t look back too long or you will end up standing still, but that brief
period of reflection where you can see what you have achieved or how far you
have travelled can give you a new energy or an increase in confidence that just
hadn’t existed earlier.
