THERE were a few cold heads at Seton College, Mt Gravatt, recently following the college’s annual Shave for a Cure fundraiser.
Seton spokesperson Julie Whitehouse said four members of the college community faced the clippers and shed their locks to raise money for research to help find a cure for cancer.
“School officer Michael Heath and students Ji Robinson and Regan Orr have very smart tidy haircuts now, courtesy of the ‘salon skills’ of Mary Kirk and Helen McNamara,” Ms Whitehouse said.
“A late volunteer was manual arts teacher Tony Moore who challenged the Seton community to raise $1000 for him to lose his beloved curly locks and famous white beard.”
Ms Whitehouse said it had been more than 10 years since Mr Moore had been clean-shaven.
“The $1000 target, to be donated to the Queensland Cancer Council, was reached and students and staff had great fun on the school oval watching the tresses fall.”
Ms Whitehouse said the college staff also got behind the campaign to raise funds for cancer research by taking part in the Biggest Morning Tea.
She said the college community supported several charitable causes and was gearing up for its biggest effort in the annual MS Brissie to The Bay Bikeathon.
“This large undertaking involves many college families together with their friends riding to raise research funds for multiple sclerosis,” she said.
“Over the past ten years Seton families have raised more than $130,000 for MS research.”
