Raising more than £300 for Macmillan Cancer Support and local charity East Renfrewshire Good Causes, head teacher Mr Sinclair and members of the science department were doused in ice cold water.

Pupils were more than happy to oblige as the entire school gathered around Mr Noor, Mrs McCallum, Mrs Ross, Mr Malloy and Miss Ballantyne, with Mr Sinclair in the school’s quadrangle.

A spokesman doe the Aurs Road school said: “It was all in the name of charity and it was a great experience, but a cold one.

“We decided to take on the challenge after it was suggested to us and a number of pupils even nominated us in their own challenges.” The entire event was filmed by dozens of pupils and footage has made its way on to You Tube where it has been seen more than 100 times.

This comes just a month after our own reporter Sean Rooney took on the challenge at the height of its craze which was started by ALS, a cystic fibrosis charity in America, but it soon spread across the world.

Millions of pounds have been raised for several different national charities over the course of the month since the challenge started to go viral.

Social Networking has been dominated by the recent trend which sees people being nominated to dump ice cold water over their heads, before nominating the next people to continue the challenge and donate £3 to Macmillan Cancer Support.

And if it’s good enough for the likes of Alex Salmond, Alistair Darling, former US president George Bush and golf hero Tiger Woods then it’s good enough for our reporter Sean Rooney who felt he had no option but to take up the challenge after being nominated by his little brother A spokeswoman for Macmillan Cancer Support said: “So far more than 150,000 people have taken part in the challenge and more than £400,000 has been raised through the text service.”
