Four senior pupils - Hannah Harris, 12, Emma Erui-Bennett, 12, Chloe Hastelow, 13, and Fiona Lambdin, 12 - organised the Wig Wednesday parade.
There were also senior pupils doing the parade's music.
They say they enjoyed seeing everyone dress up and having a good time.
"It's nice to know kids from other schools want to raise money for other kids."
Hannah says you do not always know how good you have it until you get sick.
Kaharoa School Year 7 and 8 teacher Shannon Napier says each term the school fundraises for a charity.
She says they did Wig Wednesday last year too and the children enjoyed it.
"It's a fun way to look at a serious topic."
She says seeing all the pupils in their wigs and outfits was great and the parade was a bit of fun to some music, while going to a great cause.
The children gave a gold coin donation to participate in Wig Wednesday, she says.
Western Heights High School also took part in Wig Wednesday, which was organised and driven by the Student Council.
They say, as the Student Council, they wanted the opportunity to raise awareness for the Child Cancer Foundation, because it is a topic that hits home for all of them.
After last year's Wig Wednesday, they decided as an alternative to wearing a wig they would also have Child Cancer badges and bracelets made available to staff and students for a gold coin donation.
"The Student Council felt this was a way to contribute as students while involving the rest of the school at the same time.
"Each of us know someone who has been affected by cancer and have seen how this affects them and their families."
