World’s Greatest Shave at Fort St

World’s Greatest Shave at Fort St

On the 19th of May, the Year 12 Charity Committee organised the annual World’s Greatest Shave Event in the Hall to raise funds for the Leukemia Foundation! Leading up to the event, we held a boba stall at Fort Fair and at the End of Year Party hosted by the SRC last year, and we raised a total of $791 before 2023 even started!

Over the course of the year, our shavers approached family and friends, and with the help of everyone, we raised a total of $13,759 leading up to the day. Congrats to our top 2 fundraisers, Ms Nolan at $3,282, and Maya Badami in Year 9 at $1,938!

Many students came and participated in the shave! With the help of their friends, many of them left with bald heads, a new haircut or bright streaks of hairspray. Alongside our student shavers, we saw many teachers shave, cut and colour their hair, or even wax their legs. Mr Tennant, Ms Nolan, Mr Carritt, Mr Razzaghi, and Mr Prasad, who participated in a bidding process and rocked a green mohawk, just to name a few. At the end of the event, we raised an additional $1,328.50 from the BBQ, snacks, biddings and donations, bringing our total to just over $15k.

Although we didn’t reach our goal, we would to thank everyone who came on Friday to support the cause! We would also like to thank Ms Tidon for supervising us and helping us organise every Wednesday lunches, Ms Imhof, Ms Druery and Mr Leondios for helping us organise the BBQ, as well as Mitch, Heath and Campbell from the Leukemia Foundation for their continued support leading up to the day.

We wish the best for next year’s Charity Committee to achieve the elusive $30k goal!
