Message from the Headteacher
It has been another busy week at school, with our Remembrance service,
Post 16 Open Evening and Peace conference. However the highlight was meet-
ing representatives from Coventry Cathedral, who have informed me that the
school has been awarded the International Cross of Nails award (ICONS). This
award recognises the work of Mr R Davies, the Peace and Justice group, our
chaplaincy and work we carry out within the community. We will be receiving
our award on the 2nd December at a prestigious ceremony in school, more
details to come.

St Elizabeth's Mass- Sunday 10th

On Sunday 10th November students helped to lead the
Liturgy at Mass at St Elizabeth's. A number of our students
are active members of this Parish and serve the Church as
altar servers and trainee youth leaders- which Fr Moses
mentioned in his Sermon on Sunday. Students also helped to
lead the Liturgy by readings, presenting the offertory gifts
and helping with the music. a huge thank you to the Parish
and Fr Moses for a warm welcome and to the students for
their support.
Peace Conference
Cardinal Newman students have been superb ambas-
sadors at the Lord Mayor’s peace and reconciliation
conference. They have come up with lots of ideas on
how to make our city, community and school a lot
more peaceful.
Year 8 Mass Friday 8th November
On Friday 8th November Year 8 celebrated Mass together
taking time to reflect upon the Gospel of the day. The
students worked hard in preparation creating beautiful
artwork, rehearsing the music, readings, choosing prayers
and creating a drama to explain the Gospel message. The
message was "Invest in goodness", Year 8 showed their
goodness in the celebration of Mass and we are very proud
of them. A huge thank you to Fr Pat for celebrating Mass
for us.
Year 9 Masses
On Thursday 21st November Year 9 will celebrate Mass
with Fr Pat, the students will prepare the Liturgy and we are
looking forward to seeing what they offer.
During this term Year 9 are also planning and leading class
Masses, preparing a small Mass for their RE class which is
then celebrated on Friday before lunch time. The students
have all worked hard so far in preparation for these Masses
and they are a very peaceful, intimate celebration of Mass
away from the busy life of our school in our school Chapel.
ARYPT - Drayton Manor
On Saturday 2nd November 12 Year 7 students were given
the opportunity to experience a youth day with the Andy
Robinson Young Peoples Trust. We joined over 60 other
young people from Catholic primary and secondary schools
in the city for this day. We started the day with a youth
Mass at St John Fisher, followed by breakfast batches and a
short journey to Drayton Manor. We spent the day in
Drayton Manor enjoying the rides, games, arcades and
performances. We finished the day watching an incredible
fireworks display. The students had a fantastic day and we
are really grateful to Maria Bracken and the Andy Robinson Young Peoples Trust for giving our students this opportunity
and for all the hard work they do fundraising to help young
people in Coventry. You can find more information on
Facebook and Twitter - search Andrew Robinson Young
peoples trust- for information about the work of the trust
and ways to support.
Remembrance service
On Monday 11th November we held our annual
remembrance service. Our whole school community stood
in the beautiful sunshine to honour a 2 minutes silence in
memory of those who gave their lives through war and
conflict. We listened to scripture and devoted prayers to
our loved ones who are no longer with us.
We were delighted to be joined by parents and relatives of
former students. This year we were particularly pleased that
Dennis Davidson daughter, Heather could join us for our
remembrance service. We prayed for his eternal rest and
gave thanks for the wonderful legacy he has left at Cardinal
Newman. Year 7 students (Ethan Peters, David Kazembe
and Hannah Humphries) lay wreaths in the peace garden to
honour the memories of all our loved ones.
Thank you to some of our Peace and Justice students (Fergal
Walsh, Molly Wilson, Kiera Jones, Mya Richard, Jesse
Mbanga, Cynthi Atem, Jessica Harris-Cardwell) who helped
with meeting and greeting our visitors. They were real
ambassadors for the school. Well done to our beautiful
readers, Exauce Malula , Paul Makavore , Faye Taylor,
Bridget Williams , Oliwia Luszcz , Ellie Moorcroft and Oliver
Kelly who led the service with reverence and respect.
A special thank you to Mr Kennedy, one of our school
Governors who read “Flanders Fields” with dignity and
decorum . We also would like to thank Fr Pat for his
blessings upon the school.
Thank you to all who attended. We were incredibly proud
of all our students.
