Wear it Pink Day 2024 at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys

On Friday, November 8th, we hosted our annual Wear it Pink Day event to raise funds and awareness for Breast Cancer Now – a cause that holds significant importance to us. We take pride in supporting this charity for several years, as many of our colleagues have directly benefited from their assistance.

Both staff and students contributed donations and wore something pink to school. Additionally, we organised a Poly Bake Off where staff showcased their homemade desserts, which were judged by a panel including Ms Manley, Mr Davies, and Ms Smith. The judges faced a challenging task, but ultimately awarded 1st place to Mrs Warner for her Chocolate Cake, 2nd place to Mrs Prescott for her Neapolitan cake, and 3rd place to Miss Brunton for her Biscoff cake. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to bake and enter the competition.

During break time, we held a bake sale featuring all the scrumptious entries from the bake off, and every piece of cake was devoured!

A big thank you to everyone who participated in Wear it Pink Day; your support means a lot to us.

We raised an impressive £214.66 for Breast Cancer Now – thank you for your generous contributions!

A special shout-out to Mrs Hawgood for organising this event and going the extra mile to make it memorable for our school community.

Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys recently had the pleasure of welcoming Emmanuel Asuquo, a renowned Financial advisor, media personality and international speaker into school. During his visit, Emmanuel shared his inspiring journey to success with our students, offering valuable tips on recognising their value and elevating their potential. Emmanuel also gave out copies of his fantastic book 'Get Your Money Right: Understand your money and make it work for you'.

Thank you, Emmanuel, for taking the time to meet and engage with our students, and a big thanks to Ms. Edwards for coordinating this visit.

"Thank you so much for inviting me to speak at your school. The students were so receptive and engaged, and I had great conversations with them afterwards, with a few following up by email! They have so much potential and hunger, and I'm sure they will all go on to achieve great things. I'm honoured to have had the privilege to share my experiences with them." - Emmanuel Asuquo
