Helen Fraser, social media and marketing lead, said: "All the students who participated really enjoyed themselves, with some already asking to do it again next year.
"One girl said it was ‘tiring but really fun’ and they felt ‘proud, happy and relieved to have finished’.
"It was a fantastic way for the school to encourage the students to get active and raise money for a really important cause.
