Boarding Gets Creative: Taskmaster Challenge Brings Laughter and Team Spirit

This week, boarders took part in their very own version of Taskmaster—an evening packed with fun, laughter, and the kind of creative chaos that only boarding life can deliver.

Split into pairs and given a series of quirky challenges, students rose to the occasion with imagination, determination, and plenty of good humour. From the moment the first task was revealed—“Move an egg from one side of the room to the other... without using your hands”—we knew we were in for a memorable night.

Next up, teams were challenged to build the tallest free-standing tower—using only plastic cups, metal spoons, and books. The room filled with cheers (and groans) as towers wobbled, collapsed, and rose again through pure teamwork and persistence.

For the final task, students had to create a poem or rap about boarding life. From rhyming couplets to beatbox-backed performances, the entries were full of personality and heart. Many reflected what boarding at Liverpool College is all about—friendship, independence, shared routines, and the unforgettable snoring roommate!

It wasn’t just about who won each round. The evening was a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the joy of trying something new. Every student got involved, and the spirit of participation and encouragement was a true reflection of the close-knit community we’re proud to have in our boarding house.

Well done Abby and Skylar who won the tropy and chocolate!
