Crazy hair day raises $660

Ettalong Public School raised more than $660 for the Peninsula Relay for Life on March 14.

The school held a Crazy Hair Day and sponsored headshave in order to raise money for the cancer awareness campaign.

Ettalong Public School publicity officer Ms Michelle Pathirana congratulated all students and teachers involved in "this very special cause".

"Students gave a gold coin donation and came with a range of wild and imaginative hairstyles on the day," Ms Pathirana said.

"Three teachers volunteered to have their head shaved in front of an audience while two other staff members and a parent had their hair coloured purple.

"Students were able to sponsor these volunteers and had lots of fun watching the changes."
