Pupils from Holy Cross High School were delighted to accept the St Andrew's Hospice Tinto Hill Challenge for the first time in three years.
A record 376 pupils and 40 staff from the Hamilton-based school completed the challenge, the greatest number ever for one school to be involved.
And their efforts certainly paid off with a total of £6,273 raised for the Lanarkshire Hospice, with gift aid yet to be added.
