Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls presents Sister Act!

Sister Act Synopsis

When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won't be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.

Dear Parents/Carers

As you may be aware, the week beginning 15th May is Mental Health Awareness Week.  We will be doing various activities with the students throughout the week, culminating in ‘Wear Green Day’ on Friday 19th May to raise awareness and money for the mental health charity - Mind.

We ask that students to contribute £1 on the day and wear an item or combination of items that are green from the following list:

• Green socks/tights
• Green shirt
• Green hair band/bow/ribbon
• Green tie

Students will still need to be in full school uniform (blazer, tie, skirt/trousers, shoes etc) and will not be permitted to have green nails or make up/face paint.

For further information on Mental Health Awareness Week 2023, please visit this website https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/our-work/public-engagement/mental-health-awareness-week. Staff will also be taking part and contributing to this event, and we will be sharing our activities and photos on the school website and social media pages.  We hope that you and your daughters will support us in our promotion of such an important event.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs Z Drysdale

Dear Parents/Carers,

You will be aware that NEU teachers will be striking on Tuesday 2nd May 2023.

Due to an increase in staff availability, we have now expanded our program for Year 9 and 10 on the strike days.

These students will be invited in a separate message home.

The timings for both days are as follows:

• 9:00am to 2:30pm for invited students to the Hub
• 9:00am to 13:00pm for Year 9 targeted students only
• Year 10 students have been given timeslots to do some Science practical sessions. Students have been informed about their individual times and letters were given as well. 

We will be providing lunch and/or break for students invited in, but normal payment arrangements will apply.

Additionally, any student not invited in for the above activities who are eligible for free school meals will receive vouchers.

Please look out for messages soon from us to check whether your daughter has been invited in.
