Health promotion


Liberton High has today gained 'Heartstart Status'. This means that we are now an accredited centre, able to extend training in emergency life support techniques across the school through the use of peer teaching techniques. Well done to the 9 members of staff who, today, gained their Instructor qualifications. A further 8 staff have already undertaken stage 1 training.

We now intend to train all of our S5 students before Christmas and to subsequently use them to extend the training throughout the schol and beyond.

Many thanks to Rachel Meighan (PT Guidance) and Bryan Finlay (Heartstart) for developing this programme. Please click here for more details about the 'Heartstart' initiative.
