World’s Greatest Shave 2022 – June 3rd, 2022!

In keeping with school tradition, the Year 12 Charity Committee will once again be running the World’s Greatest Shave on June 3, Term 2 Week 6 Friday! The World’s Greatest Shave is a campaign led by the Leukaemia Foundation, an Australian charity dedicated to supporting people living with blood cancer by providing information, treatment, and care.

Currently, there is no cure for blood cancer, which is the second most diagnosed cancer in Australia; affecting over 110,000 Australians. The Australian Institute of Health and Wealth estimates that a person has a “1 in 61 risk of being diagnosed with leukaemia by the age of 85.”There are no screening programs nor methods to prevent blood cancer through lifestyle changes. Money raised by the World’s Greatest Shave will help fund vital blood cancer research in delivering rapid advancements in diagnosis, treatment and ultimately – a cure.

Please support our team in raising funds and awareness around blood cancer. Join or donate to our cause through the link below!
