The tally for the amount raised at the start of the day was over $17 000.<\/p>\n

Then with the events during lunchtime; which included gold coin donations for the entry fee, sales of popcorn and haircuts, bids for who would actually shave Mr Prasad\u2019s hair (which went to the girls group for their on the spot collection of over $150) and other random donations from our students, teachers and staff \u2026 we raised an added $731.<\/p>\n

But also during this time the online amount jumped almost another $2000 for heads shaved by:<\/p>\n

Mr Morrison (for a third time!), Mr Prasad, Sora Dwyer, Tian Fu, Luke Sarginson, Jonathon Kelly, Karakn Bhasin, Maleeka Prabhakar, Jai Dingess-Dunphy, Cassidy Newman, Ava Corey, Lucie Atkin- Bolton and Elysia Castillo raising the highest amount of an amazing $3000.<\/p>\n

The total amount raise came to $19 281.65<\/p>\n

Thank you to our \u201chair stylists\u201d Mr Carritt and Ms Wark for giving up their time and especially for doing such a professional and delicate job of cutting, shaving then trimming to perfection.<\/p>\n

Well Done! To our Year 12 Charity Committee led by Nathan Nguyen and Serena Nguyen. Thank you to the many teachers, executive and other staff who came to watch our students, teacher & Deputy Principal \u201cbrave the shave\u201d! Your presence helped to make what can be a traumatic situation of losing all your hair bearable as well as knowing it was all for helping people and children and their families experiencing a life threatening illness.<\/p>\n

Fantastic effort by our Fort Street Community in supporting and fundraising to \u201cshave the world from blood cancer\u201d your generosity is truly outstanding!<\/p>\n

The final amount raised was over $20 000. Which means Mr O\u2019Neill will have his head shaved during out next year meeting!<\/p>\n
