Ponytail Project

Over the past year, a group of Pacific students have been growing their hair as long as possible in preparation for a big transformation. On Tuesday, these students had at least 20 centimetres of hair cut off to donate their ponytails and embraced new hairstyles. The cut hair is being donated to the Cancer Council Queensland's Ponytail Project. Over $5000 was raised by the participating students, along with the gold coin donations collected during the Middle and Senior College Casual Clothes Day, which will support vital cancer services, prevention initiatives, and lifesaving research.

The 2025 Pacific Lutheran College leader Luela Holland spearheaded the fundraising event and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by cancer. The Ponytail Project has not only created a sense of community and camaraderie among students but has also instilled values of compassion and generosity. Through their participation and support in their fundraising efforts, our students have shown their dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
