On Wednesday, author Colin R Parsons visited our school to share his experiences about his journey to becoming an author and provide us with tips about how to write creatively. He entertained us with stories from his books 'The Curious World of Shelley Vendor', 'Wizard's Kingdom' and ‘The Gamer’. Colin explained how he was a reluctant reader at school, until reading the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe inspired him and opened a whole new world of imagination. This led him to write his own series of fantasy fiction books. At lunchtime, all pupils from Liverpool College were given the opportunity to meet Colin in person at a book signing event. The Welsh author then delivered a series of workshops throughout the day with Ch4, helping them to read with expression and understanding the precise details needed to create vivid mental pictures in the minds of his readers. Our thanks to Colin for his wonderful tips and inspiring personal story.

Chapter 7 Football - End of Term Report
Early heavy September rain downpours made trials difficult for chapter 7 football, but this soon shaped itself out to produce a group of fifteen pupils who have the talent to eventually challenge all schools at football in Merseyside. Despite early round eliminations from both the National and Merseyside Cup there have been signs of real progress. The stand-out game was versus Calday in the Merseyside Cup having been knocked out the National Cup two days earlier. The team were two goals behind with twenty minutes remaining, but those remaning minutes was evidence that the football team are heading in the right direction by portraying tremendous effort, togetherness and determination that will be a huge benefit to this team in the second term and heading into chapter 8. There have been wins versus several teams that have included Gateacre, St Hilda's, Academy of St Nicholas and Scarisbrick.
Chapter 9 Football - End of Term Report
This talented group of footballers have eventually found the form of last academic year which keeps them in the hat for round six of the National Cup. Although, there have been the frustrations of losing in round 2 of the National Elite's on penalties and round 1 of the Liverpool Echo Shield it's hoped that this team can produce that type of form that will put them in a position to win the next round of the National Cup with only 32 schools remaining from over 700. Several pupils are also involved in a combined U14s-U15s team that have a tough but winnable away fixture in the Merseyside Cup at Cardinal Heenan in the new year. There have been many wins versus several teams that have included Cardinal Heenan, Neston, St Mary's Leyland and Bishop's Bluecoat Chester.
