Winter might not be the ideal time to get your hair shorn off, but if it’s for a worthy cause, then why not.

Newington’s ‘bald beauties’ braved the crowds on Tuesday 4 April in the annual Shave for a Cure event in support of the Leukemia Foundation.

This year’s headcount included 40 Year 12 boys, Mr Gary Maxwell, Mr Stewart McCarroll and Miss Rukevwe Bateren. All in all, Newington raised more than $21,000.

Well done boys!
