Liverpool College G7 Event

Liverpool College conducted its own G7 summit this half term. The event involved pupils  across 3 key stages and every Prep School form had their own Youth 7 summit (known as Y7).

Pupils were able to discuss what they believed were priority areas for development and to decide upon recommendations that they would make, if they were Youth 7 delegates in G7. Mrs Doran launched the event with a presentation about G7, its history, its members and its fundamental aims. Pupils then worked in groups to brainstorm key ideas and selected their class delegates to present their ideas to the form. Working democratically, students then voted which of all the ideas they heard they felt were the most important.

Year group Youth 7 delegates will write a final communique and present their findings to a whole school Liverpool College G7 summit later in the year. Final recommendations will be presented to local politicians and eventually, emailed to our prime minister, Boris Johnson.

A superb event which introduced students to world politics.

Y7 Art Gallery Now Live!

Our first Y7 virtual exhibition is now live! 

Explore a multi-sensory experience of fauvist inspired landscape painting and poetry readings from Year 7. Click here to access the gallery.

This is a binaural recording using a specific type of microphone. This technique enables you to capture a 3D sound, creating the illusion of being in the room with the performer or on location. So, for the best experience of the Y7 landscape exhibition, the audience is invited to wear headphones/earplugs when navigating the gallery space.

Thank you to Y7 Selwyn’s for the poetry reading.

Y7 Inter House Rugby Tournament

Last Saturday, all the Y7 boys were invited into school to participate in a Y7 Inter House Rugby Tournament. The pupils arrived on time, dressed in full sports kit and blazer ready to play rugby. The pupils in their House eagerly listened to the instructions before playing 5 competitive rounds of rugby. The excited pupils ran onto the pitch, displaying passion and enthusiasm to succeed throughout. Eventually, the tournament was won by School House, but all the pupils were winners and were awarded houses points for standards of dress, effort, and attendance. An excellent morning of House rugby.

Y9 Magistrates Mock Trial

We would like to congratulate all Year 9 pupils who represented Liverpool College this week in the Young Citizens Magistrates Mock Trial Competition.  All Year 9 pupils were offered the opportunity to participate in this event, which helps young people gain an insight into the legal justice system. The event was launched by professional defence lawyer Sinead Fearson, from RMNJ Solicitors, in March. The participating students have been working for the past month on the project, including working with another lawyer, Mrs Parry, who kindly arranged one to one Teams meetings this week with pupils to help them prepare. During the event, pupils litigated a specially written criminal case on money laundering, assuming the roles of defence lawyers, magistrates, prosecution lawyers, a legal advisor, the defendant, the usher, witnesses and even a court reporter. The final mock trial, on Wednesday, was conducted virtually, presided over by experienced Magistrate Jane Bonner JP. The judges were extremely impressed with our team’s performance. Mrs Bonner commented on the ‘superb preparation, superb court manner, confident delivery of speeches and appropriate use of court language that made her feel as if she was in a real courtroom’. The pupils were described as ‘perceptive’ and as ‘extremely impressive’.

The Y9 Liverpool College Law team will now go on to the finals, competing directly against Eden Boys school from Birmingham on 30 June. Congratulations to all the pupils involved (Hannah, Giselle, Khan, Amy, Solomon, Friedeika, Ruby-Jo, Omar, Olivia, Patrick, Siya, Shamita, Sasha, Nia, Ella, Francesca, Christina, Oliva).

Football Stadium Tours

Once sunny afternoon in Liverpool, our boarders took a trip around the city, visiting Anfield and Goodison ... how could we let our international students leave Liverpool without having visited two of the biggest football grounds in the country (if not world!).

Farewell to the Y13 Boarders

Well, the time has come, we must say goodbye to our Y13 boarders. They have had a challenging year and their boarding experience has been hugely dictated by COVID-19 but they have survived it and achieved. 

From myself and the rest of the Boarding Team, we wish you lots of joy and happiness as you begin a new chapter in your life. 

Goodbye and good luck 'the boarders of 2019-20'.

Y7 rugby enrichment day with Sale Sharks

On Monday, the Y7s had the opportunity to engage in a fun inclusive rugby enrichment day with two coaches from premiership team Sale Sharks. The pupils were keen to impress and quickly got into their stride to impress the onlooking coaches. There were lots of fun filled rugby games which were of an interest to all the pupils as throws were completed and tackles were made. The coaches commented on the positive attitude, behaviour and effort of the pupils who were a credit to their Houses.
