Excellent Y7 rugby team performance

On Wednesday, the Y7 rugby team made the short distance to play St Edwards College. The team enthused by a recent win over St Margaret's started the match rather nervously and found themselves two tries down with the early minutes. But a few changes by coach Mr Muscatelli enabled Liverpool College to get into their stride and a period of dominance ended with Maleek A scoring a super try. Despite St Edwards restoring their two try lead the College put up a great display and impressed their watching coach. Special mention must go to Yusef A, Jake G and Ekell B who are new additions to the team.

U13 Rugby 7s Tournament

On Monday, the U13 team played in a rugby 7s tournament at Birkenhead School. The team looked like they were ready to prove a point after recent losses before they even set foot on the pitch. After a short warm up, the pupils got into action in the first match versus Birkenhead School, and despite losing that match the College went on to produce some of their best performances since they were formed in Year 7. Those performances were rewarded with three superb results.

Results were:

  • Loss vs Birkenhead (1-3)
  • Win vs Scarisbrick (3-2)
  • Win vs Lymn (2-0)
  • Win vs Kings Macclesfield (6-0)

Medical Careers Day

Pupils from Y10 travelled to Hugh Baird College to take part in a medical careers day on Wednesday. The pupils were greeted by the two current medical students who talked to them about how to apply for medicine, how to prepare personal statements and what to expect from university. The students were at different stages in their careers and at different universities. The pupils were then placed into teams of four with pupils from other schools across Merseyside and took part in four different sessions; medical ethics, anatomy, diagnostics and emergency medicine. These sessions were also run by current medical students. The final part of the day was a question and answer session where pupils could ask any question of the medical students and also two doctors at different stages of their career.

Author Virginia Clay visits Liverpool College

Y7 and Y8 Wilton Scholars were given a masterclass in Creative Writing on Tuesday with accomplished author Virginia Clay. Virgina, author of ‘Warrior Boy’, specialises in writing stories from other cultures. In 2010, Virgina moved from the Lake District to Kenya. Although trained as an actor and singer, she retrained to become a teacher in 2012 and began teaching in Nairobi. It was using her experience of life in Kenya that formed the basis of her first book. Warrior Boy is a children’s novel about London schoolboy Ben, who travels to Kenya to meet his Maasai family for the first time but discovers more about himself than he ever imagined possible.

Using extracts of her book, Virginia asked pupils to focus upon the inner conflicts within their characters, establishing the goals and the individual flaws that define people as individuals. The students were taught how to create, develop and exploit these internal conflicts to enhance their own future story writing.

HMS Prince of Wales Visit

Year 9 pupils were treated to a once in a lifetime opportunity on Monday when they were invited to participate in a STEM and Engineering event on board the HMS Prince of Wales: Britain's biggest war ship. After a tour of the ship, the pupils took part in a careers carousel exploring the vast array of roles available on board. Pupils also participated in a wide range of engaging practicals ranging from a flight simulator, virtual reality training, Sonar engineering, ship design using Lego, a course in weaponry (including drones and missile launchers) and exploring a variety of real RAF helicopters from Chinook to the Apache. The pupils were flabbergasted about the wide range of possible career options available within STEM and enjoyed taking a glimpse into the future of cutting edge maritime technology
