Happy Christmas from the Boarders

On Wednesday, our Boarding students enjoyed a lovely Christmas meal and exchanged presents before they start to depart to go home to their families for the Christmas holidays. Due to COVID, the night was a lot smaller than usual but we filled it with games and laughter, and enjoyed by all.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas from our house to yours.

Boarders Venture to Formby Beach

On a rare lovely sunny dry afternoon, our boarding students ventured onto a 150 acre wide sandy beach with high dunes, furrowed grassland and a belt of pinewoods known as Formby Beach, stopping for a hot chocolate on their way home. A lot of fun was had by everyone involved, many of the students said that this beach reminded them of their beaches at home in Estonia. We are so lucky to live in an amazing city where we are surrounded by outdoor facilities such as this on our doorstep at Liverpool College, which has helped clear away cobwebs during the national lockdown.

Y13 Boarders Join Forces with Y7 Howson’s and Y8 Selwyn’s in Christmas Community Project

Y13 boarders joined forces with pupils from Y7 Howson’s and Y8 Selwyn’s to bring some early festive cheers to Redholme Care Home, Mossley Hill. The idea was to create an inclusive project where everyone within the Care Home was appreciated for the enormous efforts throughout the pandemic. All the boarding students and pupils from Y7 Howson’s and Y8 Selwyn’s were given the name of an elderly resident from the Care Home. They were tasked with having to write an old-style pen pal letter informing an elderly person about their studies at Liverpool College, their hobbies and interests and their likes and dislikes. Thanks to the enthusiasm of the Head of Boarding, Head of Howson’s and House Mentors the pupils created some wonderful informative and decorative letters. The boarders also presented the Matron of the care home with flowers to appreciate her work within the community and chocolates for all the staff to share. One of our boarders also presented an amazing piece of art work she had painted of our local part, which all residents would be familiar with, for the matron to put up in the care home.The care home were delighted to receive the letters and gifts and continue the strong community relationship between Liverpool College and Redholme Care Home.

Year 13 Talk: The World is your Oyster

In a time of global uncertainty, have students ever considered the possibilities offered by working abroad and what the implications of this might be? This week, Year 13 students were given an opportunity to get a realistic look at that option when Katharine Crompton delivered a stimulating talk about her life working and studying abroad. Employed as an ESL teacher, Katharine has worked in both Japan and China teaching English as a second language. Katharine’s desire to work abroad started, for her, in Year 13, when she selected a University degree that required her to study overseas for a year. Attending Mejiro University in Japan, she recognised how the different cost of living in other countries led to inflate wages in real terms, providing a higher standard of living. Katharine then gave a demonstration as to how you can teach English as a second language, even when you don’t speak the language of your students. Using a combination of facial expressions, visual clues and artefacts, Katharine taught the students a little Chinese. Currently working in Shanghai in China, Katharine spoke with passion and zeal about her chosen profession and the wonderful opportunities it can provide.
