Students from Scottsdale Primary School will take part in the World’s Greatest Shave on Friday August 20.

The global event is held to raise funds and awareness of leukaemia, people affected by the disease and research to combat it.

A group of seven students from the Student Leadership Council have volunteered, some to have their hair shaved off and others to have it coloured.

One of those planning to lose the lot is Jed Gofton, who has been growing his luxuriant mullet for three years.

Jed’s sister Maddi had cancer when she was a baby and he was inspired in grade two to join in the Student Leadership Council’s shave when he was old enough. 

That time has come around and Jed is preparing to be bald, for a while at least.

The students had a fundraising goal of $1000, but they have already reached more than $2200 and are suggesting people interested in donating go to worldsgreatestshave.com and search for Scottsdale Primary School to access their donation page.

They have thanked all donors from the community to date and asked people to continue to give until August 20.
