Day Boarding Visit

Another lovely week in Day Boarding this week. This week the day boarders visited St Chad's Church in Kirby to see 'Gaia'. Gaia is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram that aims to demonstrate the fragility of the planet. Measuring 6 metres in diameter it is a replica of the ‘earth’ created from detailed NASA imagery of the earth’s surface. The artwork provides a unique opportunity to view our planet, floating in three dimensions and revolving slowly. It also fits in nicely with our Science and Art club.

Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 Captains lead by example in an afternoon of football versus St Hilda's

On Wednesday, both the Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 football teams were in action versus nearby St Hilda's. A dry, but chilly afternoon ensured the matches took place on a good playing surface. On pitch 3 goals were flying in each end as St Hilda's U12s took a 2-1 lead. On pitch 1, it was a much tighter affair as shots on target were kept to a minimum and it was just before half time that the deadlock was finally broke with a strike from College captain Erdis R. The pattern of play stayed pretty much the same in the U13s match and the match ended 1-0. The U12s were still 2-1 down late in the game when captain Isaac O'B stepped up to drill the ball home from a set piece to ensure an equal share of the spoils - 2-2.

The eagerly anticipated Chapter 8 rugby match ends in another win for the College

There was a real buzz around the astro turf and classrooms on Tuesday morning as pockets of boys were talking about the afternoon's Chapter 8 rugby match versus Audenshaw. The boys knew they were a good side and had to be at their best to keep their unbeaten run intact. Audenshaw arrived at 1.30pm on the dot and you could hear from the pavilion their captain shouting encouragement to their boys. The College did their usual routine and went through their warm up with coach Mr Muscatelli. Despite, a few rusty moments due to not playing since last term, it was the home teams' sheer power, effort and determination that won the day. The final score was 5 tries to 2 for the College and the search goes on for challenging opposition.

A Saturday morning of football versus the Kings School Chester

It's 8.00am on a Saturday morning and over 50 pupils are waiting in blazers and ties to board a coach to an away football fixture. This is a familiar picture and last weekend four boys football teams made the trip to the Kings School Chester to participate in fixtures. Whilst this was happening a similar picture was taking place at the College as three boys football teams dressed in blazer and tie were hurriedly walking to the pavilion ready to put on their boots and participate in a match. It's a fantastic scene which symbolises the amount of sporting opportunities available at the school. Last week it was the College that were successful in four of the seven matches with two others ending in a draw. This week will be a similar scene as the College play another block of fixtures versus Ellesmere College and the girls travel to Rydal to play several netball fixtures.

Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 pupils star in the Merseyside Cross Country Championships

Last Saturday, over 20 pupils made the short trip to Arrowe Park, Wirral to participate in the Merseyside Cross Country Championships. Many pupils from other schools were involved, selecting their top runners to participate in this crucial race meeting. Although a little cold, the weather stayed dry, and the pupils took off their blazers and prepared to warm themselves up ready for the task ahead. It was a brilliantly, organised event and the pupils didn't let themselves down performing admirably in damp conditions. It's difficult to talk about individual runners as everyone ran to their very best, but Ethan B and Lexi W from Chapter 7 were the highest placed finishers for the school. Many congratulations to all pupils.

Chapter 7 rugby team win titanic battle versus Audenshaw

On Tuesday afternoon, a group of Chapter 7 pupils were waiting patiently for their teacher, ready to make the Rugby trip to Audenshaw. As always, the pupils were keen to impress, dressed immaculately with shirts tucked in, and ties done up, captain Ethan B, with huge enthusiasm, shouted to his peers this match is a big one, and he wasn't wrong. The match was a belter!! Both teams enjoyed periods of possession and all pupils from each side gave their very best for the school. The final quarter saw Liverpool College leading by 3 tries to 1. Back came Audenshaw with two quick fire tries and with the game looking like ending in a draw Captain Ethan B burst through and with a quick turn of pace the away team were celebrating a brilliant 4-3 win. What a match!!
