Waiuku College's 'mullet of the week'
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'.
