A bold and bald move!

Year 9 West Island School student Kamakshi Bhavnani took a bold move to shave her head off to support St. Baldrick’s charity working to support childhood cancer research.

At a small event organised at the school on Thursday, Kamakshi’s mother shaved her head and her father and a family friend were there along with hundreds of students who were cheering and supporting her all through it. Her goal was to raise $5000 US and she managed to raise $6,500 US thanks to the donation received from everybody, whether at school or outside!

A big thank you to Mr Chris Sammons and Ms Jessica Gilbert for supporting and encouraging Kamakshi’s decision, and to all the students and teachers who supported by donating to her cause.
