This year, boys in Years 11-13 will be able to take part in the annual Movember Foundation campaign to raise awareness of men’s health issues, including prostate and testicular cancer, mental health issues and suicide prevention.
Senior students will be allowed to grow a moustache of their choosing, but will not be allowed to grow big side-burns, goatees, beards or other facial hair. In these cases, the school rules of having a cleanly shaved face still stand.
Guidelines:
- Participants must be cleanly shaven on 1st of November.
- A moustache only may be grown. No goatees, beards or sideburns. Apart from the moustache, faces should be cleanly shaven.
- All other uniform rules still apply.
Students may wish to sign up to the Movember Foundation (https://nz.movember.com/?home) and then join the school Movember Team (https://moteam.co/shirley-boys-high-school-mo-bro-s?mc=1).
However, this is not a requirement for students.
