A Meditation
by John Henry Newman
God has created me to do
Him some definite service.
He has committed some work
to me which He has not
committed to another
I am a link in a chain,
a bond of connection
between persons.
He has not created me
for naught.
I shall do good
I shall do His work.
When a student gains a place at Cardinal Newman Catholic School she or he will be welcomed into a community that prides itself on its care for each individual. Our school mission statement celebrates the uniqueness of each person. We recognise the personal and academic differences within our student body and it is our goal to offer an appropriate level of support and challenge that ensures individual growth and success.
As parents you entrust your children to us and it is our task to join in a partnership with the home to raise that child in a secure environment built on Christian principles that prepares each student for the world. Sound discipline, care and support, and academic challenge are our guidelines and we are confident that your children will benefit from their time at Cardinal Newman and will be encouraged to contribute towards our further growth.

Activities Week
We have had a fabulous week in school with all the enrichment activities taking place. Year 10 have been on work experience, Year 9 have participated in outdoor activities at camp and in the area (on site, at Hove Lagoon and the Downs) and Years 7 and 8 have been even further afield for example, The Natural History Museum, London, Wintershall, Guildford, visiting the Buddhist Centre, a mosque and a synagogue, participating in dance liturgy with the Springs Dance Company, Senegalese drumming and so many more activities. I can truly say that this week has been a great learning experience for all. Students this year have been incredibly receptive and cooperative. We are very proud of them! I would especially like to thank Mr Goldup, Dr Kilmartin, Mrs Matthews and Mrs Tew for all their hard work in making this week a tremendous success.
Former Student of Cardinal Newman
Philip Nutley is co-presenting a design and home make-over programme on BBC2, beginning on the 15th July at 8.00pm, for three consecutive weeks. It is called, 'Home for Life'. If you have any news of the successes and exploits of former students we would love to hear from you.
Walking to School
I remain concerned about the minority of parents who drive their children into the school grounds, despite our requests not to do so. This action is dangerous owing to the large number of students who use the routes to go to class. As a result, staff will now be posted on the gates to remind those parents that they should not drive into the campus at these times. Young people are capable of walking a few hundred yards to access school without the need to be driven. Please find attached a letter from Sussex Police regarding parking outside school. It is essential that parents comply with their request for safe parking.
Influenza A type H1N1
All families were sent a copy of health guidelines in response to our school being advised that we have a probable case. Should you have any queries, do ring the support line on 0800 1513513.
