Prep School Saturday Rugby

Liverpool College Y5-Y6 Prep School pupils participated in their first Saturday Sporting match of the academic year in a Rugby 7s Tournament at Terra Nova, Crewe. The pupils were supervised by the Principal and 1st team Rugby Coach Mr Heeley.

We entered two teams into the tournament and the pupils were split with an equal amount of Y5-Y6’s in each group. The day turned out to be thoroughly enjoyable with many  College parents travelling down to watch the tournament and support the pupils. Saturday turned out to be a great experience for the pupils in preparation for regular Saturday sport in the secondary phase.

Clean sweep for Liverpool College Football Teams at Westholme

Last Saturday, Liverpool College football teams produced three fantastic performances to beat Westholme on the own ground.

Firstly, the U12 team produced their best performance of the academic year by coming from behind to win 6-2. The College’s passing and movement was a joy to watch as they eventually tired down their opponents by switching the ball from left to right and producing that inch perfect cross for the attacking player to score.

The U13s match was a much closer affair with the College being one goal down for much of the game. Spurred on at the back by centre half Jude C, the College gathered momentum and that dominance eventually paid dividends with five minutes to go when sticker Jacob B bundled the ball home. There was still time for a winner, with the College full of confidence it was Jacob B who scored again to the delight of acting coach on the day Mr Fox.

Whilst the U13’s match was a close call, the U14s ran away with proceedings in the first half, and they never looked back producing their best performance of the academic year to win 4-0.

Whilst the boys shook hands and walked back into the changing rooms, the day did not finish there, as all the boys and staff got together to have lunch at Westholme and talk about three wonderful wins.

Celebrating Global Scouse Day with Artist Paul Curtis

On Thursday, we went to the Palm House in Sefton Park and spent the day with Liverpool artist Paul Curtis to celebrate Global Scouse Day. We (pupils from Year 10,11,12 and 13) and 40 pupils from Belvedere Prep school worked together with Paul Curtis to create a large mural of Sefton Park Palm house, each painting a leaf or flower.

Paul talked to us about his career and taught us lots of techniques on how to paint and showed us his work which features murals such as the Baltic Wings, Abbey Road, and the Edge Lane City scape. We taught the younger children these same skills. We all really enjoyed it.
