World’s Greatest Shave!

Due to COVID-19 and the new protocol of banning events with more than 100 people, unfortunately this year’s MGC ‘World’s Greatest Shave’ had to be cancelled. This highly anticipated and popular event among our school community raises money for the Leukaemia Foundation, and MGC has supported this cause for many years now.

 

This year we had an astounding number of students choosing to shave their heads to support this great Foundation, and together, the 16 inspirational girls helped raised a grand total of $26,641.42! This money, alongside the money raised from the Swim Sports Bake Sale (thank you to the Middle School Executive) and from the Bake Stall we held on the last Friday at lunchtime going towards this event, we completely exceeded our goal of raising $20,000.

We can’t thank those enough who have supported this charity, especially the 16 students who have been so brave and shaved their heads, which under normal circumstances would have been completed on the 20th March at school in front of their many supportive friends and peers. Below are some photos of the girls shaving their heads at home and the link to our team’s page if you would like to support the efforts of these girls. The Leukemia Foundations supports Australians with blood cancer (one the leading causes of death in Australia currently) and help raise much needed funds to find a cure.

We’d also like to thank the Philanthropy Team who helped us prepare for what is usually a busy and exciting event. We can’t wait to see what we can do at next year’s World’s Greatest Shave!
