World’s Greatest Shave
Join our World's Greatest Shave Team and raise money and awareness for people fighting blood cancers.
On Thursday 21 May you can nominate to shave your head or wax your legs - you must first sign up to nominate.
This is your chance to get involved in something meaningful, brave, and a little bit bold. All the funds raised will go directly to the Leukaemia Foundation, supporting patients and their families, funding research, and helping provide care when it’s needed most.
Nominations must be registered on our official World's Greatest Shave page.

It might seem like a big step, but for many people going through cancer treatment, losing their hair isn’t a choice. By taking part, you’re showing support, and helping make a real difference.
So, whether you choose to donate, fundraise, or take the leap and shave or wax — every effort counts.
***at the time of publishing we have 8 people signed up and have already raised $715.00. We can do more....***

Donate Don’t Dump
This initiative is the next big thing that the Social Justice Group are getting excited about! During Term 2 the Social Justice Team will be running a clothes drive to raise awareness of ‘fast fashion’ and how cheap clothes bought at big stores across Australia are made by some of the most vulnerable people in developing countries around the world. At the final assembly of Term one we shared information and encouraged students and staff to take a look through their wardrobes during the holidays for clothes that they would like donate.
We would be most grateful if you could bring in clothes that would be suitable for people of school age, Years 7 to 12, to school and drop them off at Year level points or the office.
The drive (pop-up-shop) will happen at school, mid-Term 2 where you can purchase donated clothes.
Thanks
