Teachers take up the Ice Bucket Challenge

The Ice Bucket Challenge gained favour worldwide to raise funds for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

With popular South African rugby legend, Joost van der Westhuizen suffering from the disease, Tugela High School did its part in creating awareness for ALS.

Charl Green, a pupil from the school, nominated three of his teachers for the worthy challenge.

Riaan du Plessis, Serina Ferreira and Oscar Mbatha, the three brave teachers, gathered on Thursday morning at 8am in front of their pupils to show that they were willing to participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Mr du Plessis and Mr Mbatha nominated the Newcastle High School sports coaches to take the plunge and participate in the challenge.
