Movember mo's on show!

November is usually the time when smooth upper lips become a little more hairy in support of Movember, but mathematics teacher Rick Bowman has taken the reverse approach. In support of men’s health, Rick decided to send his 47 year old moustache off to greener pastures and allow his top lip to welcome sunlight after decades of darkness.

“My moustache has been with me since my first year at university in 1970,” said Rick. “Now it’s gone I feel like a new man!”

Helped along by fellow mathematics teacher Kingsley Hunt, computer teacher Robbie Barnard, ICT staff member Dave Nichols and English teacher Josh Owen, the ‘Grammar Growers’  cruised past their $2,000 target for the Movember Foundation.

“Men are facing a health crisis that isn’t being talked about,” said Rick. “I’m proud to get involved in a great cause, have a bit of fun and raise money and awareness to support men’s health and wellbeing.”
