It was D-day for a handful of our bearded male staff members as they sat on the hot seat for the annual CanTeen Shave for a Cure fundraiser at lunch on Thursday 11 August. With Taylan Behayi (12/FL) as key organiser, boys from Fletcher and Le Couteur overseeing the money raising, and resident hairdresser of the Boarding House, Isileli Hala’ufia (12/FL) on the shears, the event drew a large crowd of boys across the years. 

Over the 30 minute lunch break, the boys raised over $3,200 for CanTeen. Newington College is CanTeen’s biggest school supporter and a big thank you goes out to our boys and to Mr Andrew Light, Mr Graeme Downward, Reverend Peter Morphew and Mr David Walls for braving the crowds and sacrificing their beautiful manes for a good cause.
