Shaved for leukemia fund

Woy Woy South Public School raised more than $450 as part of the Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave on March 2.

Students Josh Cook-Young and Laurence Blanch shaved their heads for sponsor donations to the "shave for a cure" cause.

Local radio station Star FM attended the fundraising morning as part of The Rod and The Flack morning show.

"Woy Woy South Public School sends a big thanks to all those people who were involved in the fundraiser," relieving principal Mr Steve Collins said.

"A special thanks goes to Josh Cook-Young and Laurence Blanch for their bravado in the World's Greatest Shave.

"Nathan from Nathan's Cutting Shop in Umina delivered the long blows to rid Laurence and Josh of their locks.

"A honourable mention, for their hair colouring expertise, goes to ex-Woy Woy South Public School student Nicolette Blanch who is currently at Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy Campus and Jessica Cousins who is currently serving her hairdressing apprenticeship with ZAPPS Hair Design at Umina.

The P&C will also donate 10 per cent of profits from the World's Greatest Shave breakfast to the Leukaemia Foundation.
