SRC Activity Week Raises over $54,000

Throughout Term 1, SRC was planning and organising the World’s Greatest Shave and brainstorming ideas to help raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation. During the week commencing Monday 22 March 2021, SRC held an activity week in which a number of different activities were held each lunchtime. Some activities included teacher vs student dodgeball, guess what’s in the box, 1-minute snack challenges and trivia. Each activity was organised by SRC students, included both students and teachers, and all required a gold coin donation to participate in or watch. The whole activity week was organised to support the World’s Greatest Shave and raised $1646.35 to go towards the final total.

The World’s Greatest Shave (WGS) is a program to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation by either cutting, colouring or shaving your hair. Each participant gains sponsors to donate money and support their shave or cut. All funds raised go towards the foundation and any hair that is shaved or cut is donated. The SRC held WGS at the end of the activity week, where both students and teachers participated and overall raised over $54,000! 

The SRC are very proud of the activity week, and the huge success of the World’s Greatest Shave. The whole School community came together to have fun and support a really important cause.
