In a remarkable display of commitment and community spirit, our Year 12 students undertook an ambitious challenge supporting the Leukaemia Foundation. This year, our target for the World’s Greatest Shave was set at a whopping $50,000, inspired by the dedication of our Head of Year 12, Ms. Helen Laider.
Upon hearing this goal, our students sprang into action, channelling their energy into various fundraising efforts while also preparing for significant hair transformations.
To kick off their fundraising journey, Year 12 hosted a delightful bake sale to celebrate Valentine’s Day with some themed sweets. The treats didn’t stop there, as later in the term, there was a Krispy Kreme donut sale with all proceeds going directly to the Leukaemia Foundation.
On March 18, we welcomed local business, L’Yvonne’s Hair from Dural back to campus, to join us in another year of haircutting fun. Y’vonne’s salon has been the sole hair stylist committed to assisting our Year 12 cohorts shave and cut their hair since Hills Grammar first started taking part in this worthy cause back in 2007.
The community spirit was palpable on the day with students leaving class early to assist with the set up and support each other as they cut and coloured their hair. Hosted in front of our Mallik Building, the crowd of staff and students quickly surrounded those cutting their hair, a moment that was captured on Channel 10 for the ‘First at 10’ coverage. This was a shining moment of recognition, showcasing their passion and determination to make a tangible impact.
In outstanding news, it was revealed before the first shave took place that students had reached their goal of $50,000.
We are proud of our students for their ongoing commitment to raising funds for this worthy cause.
