Pulteney students take a stand for two important causes
On Friday 18 September, Pulteney students will come together to make a difference: taking a stand against blood cancer while starting conversations that can make an equally important difference in the lives of those around us.
As part of the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave, students will brave the clippers and raise vital funds to support Australians living with blood cancer, their families and life-changing research.
With more than 170,000 Australians currently living with blood cancer and 17 people losing their lives to the disease every day, the need for support remains significant. Every contribution to the students’ fundraising effort will help the Leukaemia Foundation provide practical and emotional support to families, while investing in research towards better treatments and, ultimately, cures.
The Greatest Shave will take place alongside Pulteney’s R U OK? Day activities, bringing the School community together around another powerful message: the importance of looking out for one another.
R U OK? Day is a national day of action encouraging Australians to stay connected and have meaningful conversations about mental health and wellbeing. At its heart is a simple question, “Are you OK?”, and the reminder that taking the time to genuinely ask, listen and check in can make a meaningful difference.
Together, the two initiatives give our students an opportunity to turn care into action, whether that means stepping forward to shave their hair, raising funds for people they may never meet, or noticing when someone around them might need a conversation.
