A whole school assembly gathered to watch students brave the shave - girls chopped their once long ponytails, boys got the buzz, and some teachers also stepped up to the scissor session.
Among the supporters was James Young, a Year 12 prefect who featured in this masthead earlier in the week. James shaved his head in honour of his father Mark, a leukaemia survivor. Mark was Australia's first successful bone marrow transplant recipient 45 years ago, when he was 10 years of age.
There to watch his son raise money for a cause he is deeply thankful for, Mark took control of the clippers, giving James quite the smooth finish.
The school raised more than $16,000.
