College lops their locks for charity

Rodney College is hosting a shave for a cure event this Friday, October 27, fundraising for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand.

Students and teachers will be shaving off their locks to show their support for other people going through the anxieties of losing their hair during chemotherapy.

A recent experience with a staff member’s journey through chemotherapy has, in particular, raised awareness in the school of how prevalent cancer is in the community.

Seven students and teachers will be shaving their hair including two people with hair long enough to donate for wigs. The day will also include a crazy hair day for the full school where students can wear mad hair, a hat or a wig to show their support.

The college thanks Liz Elliot, from Liz’z Half Cut Barbers, who will be making sure the shaves are up to scratch.
