Welcome to Cardinal Newman Catholic School. We hope that you will soon settle in and feel part of our community. Over the next exciting six or seven years I am sure that you will want to make your own contribution to the school's fine reputation and that you will achieve great success. We hope that your time with us will be happy and memorable and that you will make many new friends.
It is important that you come to Cardinal Newman ready to learn and ready to work hard. All of your teachers will be eager to support you to do well. We all want you to achieve the very best that you are capable of so that you can be proud of yourself and your school.
