Phoenix Programme at Liberton Fire Station

A number of our students volunteer for the Phoenix Programme at Liberton Fire Station each week, in the evenings. The group (a mix of LHS and Gracemount pupils) put on a practical demonstration last night and I thought it was worth mentioning that they were fantastic – confident, polite and incredibly well disciplined as they carried out their drills. They put out fires, climbed ladders into smoke filled towers and demonstrated life saving skills. It is my understanding that in advance of the night, Melanie Mason (the only girl in last night’s group) had also made a local radio broadcast to advertise the evening. Their parade drill also made a lasting impression.

SALTERS’ FESTIVAL of CHEMISTRY

Liberton High School was represented by four S2 students, Lauren Bell, Emma McNaughton, Fraser Murray and Thomas Walker, in the Festival of Chemistry at Heriot-Watt University on Wednesday 13 June. This was one of 52 national events, supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry, promoting chemistry for young people. 19 Schools from Edinburgh and surrounding environs took part in the event – our students showed themselves to be confident and talented students who worked as a great team.
The budding scientists participated in 2 laboratory based activities during the day; the “ Salters’ Challenge”, was a forensic “crime scene” investigation which attempted to identify the perpetrators of a serious incident and the “ University Challenge”, involved a chemical reaction which decreased the temperature of the mixture – proving that Chemistry is pretty cool!
