Year 12’s Cuts 4 Cancer Day

Last Friday 21 March was Year 12’s ‘Cuts 4 Cancer’ day, where most girls cut their hair at lunchtime as part of the Leukaemia Foundation’s ‘World’s Greatest Shave’ campaign.

A group of almost 90 students cut their hair together. It was such a special event. The Sports Hall had such an amazing atmosphere, with students from younger years filling the Hall to cheer the senior girls on.

Together, Year 12 raised over $43 000! The money they raised will go to the Leukaemia Foundation, helping them provide support to those affected by leukaemia and fund crucial research. This is such an important cause, as more than 135,000 Australians are living with the devastating impacts of blood cancer. Their hair will be used to make wigs for people living with cancer, and the hair that cannot be made into wigs will be used to clean up oil spills. We all feel very proud and lucky to have been able to support the campaign.

The day would not have run so smoothly without the work of Ms Whitney, the Year 12 Cuts for Cancer committee, Year 12 Form teachers and our wonderful volunteer hairdressers.

And one final shoutout the incredible Class of 2025! I am so lucky to be surrounded by such an inspiring group of young people and I am so proud of what we have accomplished!
