His mother Paerangi Haimona wants the school to remove its rule and plans to take her argument to the board of trustees.
‘These boys, they refuse to shave their mos and they just want to be at school really to learn,’ she told Seven Sharp.
‘They’re only hanging in school by a thread and if it means not shaving and then being at school well I’m all for them and I will fight for them.’
The school website states students must be clean shaven.

‘Part of our educational responsibilities are to develop a sense of community agreeing to common values and aspirations.’
