MIDDLE SCHOOL<br />
World’s Greatest Shave<br />
I would like to congratulate the <strong>Princes</strong> community for<br />
their wonderful support of the World’s Greatest Shave.<br />
This national event aims to raise funds to support the<br />
Leukaemia Foundation which provides practical and<br />
emotional support to people with blood cancer.<br />
Brodie Henderson of Year 7 initiated our commitment to<br />
this cause. His good friend, Year 7 student Hamish<br />
Greenslade, was diagnosed with Burkitt’s Lymphoma<br />
earlier this year and Brodie suggested the Middle School<br />
take up the challenge in support of Hamish.<br />
The following students participated in the World’s<br />
Greatest Shave and should be congratulated for raising<br />
nearly $16 000 for the Leukaemia Foundation:<br />
Jack Greenslade, Brodie Henderson, Axel Heinrich, Max<br />
Kirkby, Cameron Young, Rupert Johnson, Alasdair<br />
McFarlane, Kurt Bierlein, Gian-Luca Stirling. Two staff<br />
members, Beau Muzik and Shane Reidy also took part in<br />
the challenge.<br />
The One and All<br />
The Year 9 boys at Wambana returned to Adelaide<br />
aboard the One and All last week. The students of 9ADI<br />
had the good fortune to spend three days and two nights<br />
aboard the tall ship which is back in circulation again.<br />
This experience provided a wonderful finale to the four<br />
week Extended Stay Program.<br />
The College was disappointed when the One and All<br />
stopped operating in 2011 and credit must be given to<br />
Dale Hobbs, Director of the Wambana, who has been<br />
collaborating with the “Friends of the One and All’ over<br />
the past 12 months to reinstate this terrific climax to the<br />
program.<br />
We have assurances that the next three Wambana<br />
groups will also have this terrific opportunity. We also<br />
look forward to their tales of life on the high seas.<br />
The final<br />
shave took<br />
place at a<br />
special<br />
Middle<br />
School<br />
Assembly.<br />
Each<br />
student<br />
nominated<br />
a staff member to carry out the task of shaving his hair.<br />
As a result, boys ended up with substandard haircuts.<br />
Teachers should stick to what they know best.<br />
Fortunately, Alex Milic, a parent and a hairdresser, gave<br />
each boy (and the staff members) a final tidy up, making<br />
them look respectable. At times like this, the generosity of<br />
the <strong>Princes</strong> community becomes evident. I would like to<br />
thank all involved: boys who had their heads shaved,<br />
boys who showed support, and families and friends who<br />
contributed.<br />
