We're rocking the chop to put a stop to cancer!
Brisbane State High School Rocks the Chop!
Our school community is coming together for an incredible cause - Rock the Chop to help stop cancer! This inspiring initiative will see brave students donate their hair to create wigs for cancer patients while raising vital funds for cancer research.
Making a Real Difference
Every ponytail cut and every dollar raised brings us one step closer to a world without cancer. The hair donated will be transformed into beautiful, natural wigs that restore confidence and dignity to those facing their cancer journey. Meanwhile, the funds we raise will support groundbreaking research that could lead to new treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
Our School, Our Impact
Brisbane State High School has always been a community that cares, and Rock the Chop perfectly embodies our spirit of service and compassion. Whether you're brave enough to chop your locks, generous enough to sponsor a participant, or simply there to cheer on our hair heroes, every contribution matters.
Together, we're not just cutting hair - we're cutting through the challenges that cancer presents to families in our community and beyond. Let's show everyone what Brisbane State High School can achieve when we unite for a cause that truly matters!
Will you support us?
You can find out more about where your donations go at ponytailproject.com.au/about-cancer-council.
Thank you!

Thanks to Laila and all students for doing this fundraiser. This will continue to raise awareness as the years continue - not just from memories but what the fundraising can bring for individuals and families but also knowing people care and share hope. I am donating in memory of my friends and family who were/are cancer warriors. Big love. Xx
