On Wednesday, 3 May, a collection of brave students and teachers lined up in the Albertian Quad to have their hair shaved off for charity.
Shave for a Cure is the annual fundraiser for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand. MAGS takes part each year, and volunteers gather sponsors ahead of the big day. Last year’s total was topped, with more than $7300 raised this year by 13 students and teachers Ms Henrieta Kajanova, Mr Malcolm Nuttall and Mr Michael Collins.
Those courageous enough to lose their hair had a large and supportive audience cheering their efforts.
