When 15-year-old Leia Lai and two of her classmates went back to school on Monday, they sported a new look - bald.
The three St Margaret's Secondary School students had cut their hair to raise funds for a cancer charity.
But this drew the ire of their principal, as they had not donned wigs, as they had promised earlier.
The school's rules do not allow "punk, unfeminine or sloppy hairstyles". Said principal Marion Tan: "It's very clear in our mission: it's about their turnout as a young lady."
And if the girls were allowed to go bald, others might take advantage.
"Can you imagine if I were to say yes, I'd have everybody coming to school with a bald head. Sometimes it's a fad, so they would take advantage of the situation." Full story...
