Hair today, aid tomorrow

Children attending a Hoppers Crossing early learning centre sported some cool and creative hairstyles in the name of charity last week.

On Friday, about 100 youngsters aged from 12 months to five years old joined in a crazy hair day at the Bluebird Early Education centre to help raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Federation Australia.

Children who took part in the event donated a gold coin to the federation.

The centre’s manager Marian Ramis said some of the young people wore colourful hairstyles that looked like unicorns, lizards and even cupcakes.

“The children had lots of fun showing off their hairstyles and a bit of a laugh,” she said.

Ms Ramis said educators at the centre also took part in the day, including one staff member who put a soft drink bottle in her hair and styled her tresses to look like liquid pouring out of it.

Ms Ramis said the Bluebird Early Education company often took part in community days to raise funds for good causes, including the recent National Pyjama Day for The Pyjama Foundation.
