Lunch on the Quad was a bit different today.
Kaelan Lindup had his head shaved by fellow students.
Kaelan locks were so long that they had to be cut with a pair of scissors first.
Kaelan has raised $1,250 for the Leukaemia Foundation.
Donations are still being accepted.
Year 8 students were first in line.

Everyone had a fantastic day today learning about the different types of tools and the safety when using these tools.
Student’s learnt quite a bit and these skills will certainly serve them well in their work at JJ Haven.
Our sincere thanks to Bunnings for their ongoing support of our South Africa Service Tour.
They continue to bless us with this free building workshop topped off with a lovely morning tea, a filling lunch and a great pair of working gloves and safety glasses.
There support is most valued!
