S3 Business Management Stock Market Challenge

The team from Liberton did very well and managed to come in eighth out of 25 schools from South East Scotland. The challenge was to increase their initial investment of £15,000 over a ‘virtual’ week by playing the stock market. Our team managed to increase their portfolio value to almost £45,000.

Team members were Terri Borthwick, Jason Chu, Thomas Murray, Wai Ying Ta and Sam Whiting. They seemed to enjoy themselves and were a credit to Liberton in their behaviour and their attitude.

New computers for Libby

This week Liberton High School has been getting all of it's computers refreshed. This should mean that we can move the website forward with more opportunity for staff and pupils to contribute to the site. With more than 200 new computers we should see a great step forward in computing at Libby.

Judo

Huge congratulations to both Ryan and Nicola Kinnear who both achieved gold in the Scottish Schools Judo Competition held at Meadowbank at the weekend!

Nicola Kinnear 2D has retained the Scottish Schools Gold every year since Primary 5. In fact since September this year Nicola also won Silver at the British Championships, the Grangemouth Open and the Celtic Cup International. I think you will agree these are truly remarkable achievements.

As this is possibly Ryan's last year at LHS this is perhaps his last Scottish Schools tournament. However to bow out as Scottish Schools champion is credit to him.

Swimming

Congratulations to Andrea Sheen and Alexandra Anderson who were our sole representatives at the Edinburgh Schools Swimming Finals last week. They were up against pretty stiff competition – mostly from the private sector and put in two great performances gaining medals along the way.

Andrea went into the 100m Freestyle in 4th position and ended up in third winning bronze – beating the girl into fourth by 6/100ths of a second in a time of 1.09.86! A great achievement for Andrea. Alexandra also took the bronze in the gruelling 100m Butterfly in a time of 1.31.58 – a whole two seconds ahead of the fourth placed swimmer! This is doubly amazing as Alex hasn’t been training for quite some time and came out of semi-retirement just for this competition!!
Well done to both
