CNSA Car Boot and Bike Sale/Auction:
Sunday 24 June 2012
Thank you to all those who have contributed ideas for our
summer event on Sunday 24 June (1.00 -4.00pm).
The most popular choice is the
car boot and second hand bike sale/auction so please start sorting out your
cupboards, lofts, garages and sheds!
Car boot pitches are £5.00 each and must be booked in
advance. To register for a pitch please
email your contact details to Alison Coyle at alisoncoyle@btinternet.com or to office@cns-school.org. You can also leave a message for Alison’s
attention at the School Office.
We know that many of you have bikes that you would like to
sell and we would like to do this via an auction, if we can find an
auctioneer! So if you have an interest
in bikes and would like to have a go at auctioneering; or if you know someone
who would be happy to help us out please contact Alison as soon as possible.
By popular request, we will have the driving school cars
returning to the school field, and students are currently working on other
event and stall ideas. Further information on all of this, and more
in next week’s e-Echo!
English Department and Sports Department
This week the English
Department and the Sports Department ran a competition for a place in the torch
relay carrying the olympic flame. Entrants had to write a headline and a
hundred words in the style of a sports report.
The winning entry came
from Kathryn Shailer in year 7. Her report about the Chinese female
gymnast team was judged the best as it most carefully followed the conventions
of sports report, was news worthy and also very well presented.
Kathryn will be taking
part in the relay in Felixstowe on the 5 July at around 5pm.
Message from Mr Nixon
The school seems very strange with
sixth form not around and year 11 students leaving today. Visitors to the school
often comment about the “buzz” that they feel around the school, the atmosphere
of young people working hard and interacting with each other and adults. Oscar Wilde said “some cause happiness
wherever they go; others whenever they go”.
I am pleased to say that our students are in the first part of the
quote, we will miss them all and wish them the very best in their exams and their
future careers.
If you re-read the quote above you may
be like me and immediately think of some individuals you have encountered
during your life who fit either category.
Some of the most positive and inspirational people I have encountered
were those facing significant difficulties and problems. Sometimes it is not
about the problems and challenges we face as human beings, as we all encounter
them; it is about how we respond to the challenge.
