The shaved heads of 23 young men are visible reminders of the money they raised for a friend with cancer.
The Aquinas College First XV rugby boys shaved their locks in support of a young rugby player from Te Wharekura o Mauao who was diagnosed with bone cancer earlier this year.
Captain Reed Wilson, 17, said the team had formed a tight bond with the rugby boys at the wharekura and when they heard of the young man's battle, decided to chip in and help.
The boys organised a shave-off at the school, finding hairdressers to volunteer on the day, and people were asked to pay a donation to watch the big event.
Reed said the team was close with the wharekura boys.
