Skye’s Big Haircut!

Last Friday the pupils and staff of Dunoon Primary School came to school with crazy hairstyles for ‘Mad Hair Day’! The school was supporting Skye, a P6 pupil who recently had her lovely long hair cut off to donate to the charity the Little Princess Trust. The Trust provides real-hair wigs to boys and girls across the UK and Ireland that have sadly lost their own hair through cancer treatment.
Pupils who wanted to join in brought a donation for the charity and on the day the school managed to raise a total of £146.14!
Skye, who also fund raises for The Little Princess Trust has raised over £400 herself. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, you can do so buy following the the following link to Skye’s Just Giving page. HERE

St Joseph’s gladly embraced the request and held a non-uniform day solely for the purpose of raising funds for the appeal.
