St Declan’s drive-through shave-a-thon a success

St Declan’s School for Boys decided to celebrate their last day of the term in a different way.

To raise awareness of and funds for the fight against cancer, St Declan’s hosted a drive-through shave-a-thon on September 11.

Learners and parents drove through the parking lot of the school, stopping to quickly spray their hair and make donations.

According to Nicholas Nunes, deputy headmaster of the school, the shave-athon is both a great initiative and highly topical for the learners of St Declan’s.

“We had a learner with last year who fought through strongly,” said Nicholas. “We saw the struggle he and his family went through and we thought this was a good bit of awareness we could raise as a school.”
