Since the beginning of the school year, Waiuku College has chosen a student with a mullet to feature on its Facebook page as the college's 'mullet of the week'.
Principal Tom Vanderlaan said the school was looking for a fun way to celebrate local culture.
But the love of mullets holds a deeper purpose for the college.
Each year, willing students seek sponsorship to have their heads shaved to raise money for Canteen, which supported teenagers living with cancer.
"This charity is dear to our school after we lost a very special senior student to cancer some years ago," Vanderlaan said.
The three young men pictured share this week's title for 'mullet of the week'.

Our Coordinator at Hastings District Council recently sent us this snap from a get together with residents from a new suburb who are keen to get Neighbourhood Support up and running.

To gauge interest, he hosted a free barbecue at a park with the support of their local New Zealand Police to bring neighbours together to discuss setting it up. Every group is different in how it chooses to operate. Our policy is whatever works best for your area!

Hi neighbours, Fire and Emergency NZ region manager Ron Devlin has warned Aucklanders against using chainsaws, lawnmowers, rubbish fires and vehicles with hot exhausts, especially during the afternoon which is the hottest time of day.
The warning was prompted by three lifestyle block fires in the Karaka and Clevedon areas in recent weeks, which were caused by sparks from machinery.
The drought Auckland is currently experiencing is "unusual", Devlin said, adding that while there had been a bit of rain, it wasn't enough to lower the fire risk.
Anyone who sees smoke should dial 111.
