Music for a Spring Evening

This evening I had the pleasure of attending an exhibition and musical performance at the Royal Scottish Academy on Princes Street. Along with colleagues, parents and pupils we had been invited by the Friends of the Royal Scottish Academy to join then on this special evening.

I was so proud of young musicians from Liberton High who had been invited along to entertain the guests. They played and sang magnificently!

Performing this evening were:

Ross Hunter (Clarinet)
Kellie Hunter (Saxophone)
Anne Traill (Cello)
Liam Allison (Guitar)
Mike Ainsley (Guitar)
Uni Kim (Flute and Piano)
Ian McBain (Voice)
Kirsty Evans (Voice)
Amy McVicar (voice)
Hannah Cowie (Voice)
Cecily Kingston (Piano)
Laura Klem (Flute)

Led by Scott McCorquodale, Principal Teacher of Music.

What really pleased me tonight was how well our pupils interacted with guests. They really were the most fantastic ambassadors for Liberton High School. Experiences like this will last a lifetime for these very talented youngsters.

Astronomy Club

This image of a section of the moon was taken on our first moonwatch event on 2nd April. After processing the image we were able to identify craters smaller than 20km in diameter. The area of the moon on view shows the sea of tranquility, sea of serenity and the sea of vapours. The smile on the moon is created by the shadows of the apinninus mountains.

Our telescope was a gift from the Society for Popular Astronomy and the camera was funded by Liberton High School Association. The astronomy club would like to thank both organisations for enabling us to have access to such good equipment.
