Cross Country in Birkenhead

Last Saturday, a small group of Key Stage 3 pupils travelled on a chilly morning to Birkenhead to participate in the next round of the Merseyside School Cross Country Competition.

As the fields were incredibly boggy, the pupils ran part of the race on the pathways. A tough competition which fielded between 60 boys and 60 girls ended with the College finishing in the middle order for both boys and girls. The pupils were praised for their excellent manners and behaviour throughout the journey.

This is the College's fifth Cross Country Race this academic year.

Liverpool Schools’ Parliament

This year, we have six Year 9 pupils representing Liverpool College at the Schools’ Parliament. I have had the pleasure to accompany these pupils to two Upper House meetings at the Town Hall where they have taken part in a Meet the Decision Makers event and a European Youth Parliament debate.

During October half term, three of our pupils put themselves forward to be a Youth Mayor and all gave rousing speeches to the council chamber that they should be proud of! Harry D (Y9 Selwyn’s) was voted in as Young Mayor and has numerous events to attend in the coming months.

Last week, we all attended a meeting to discuss How to Make Liverpool a Safe City and found out how our pupils can contribute to Liverpool's bid to become a UNICEF Child Friendly City. Our pupils have all spoken and have been involved in healthy and stirring debates in the chamber on gang culture, climate change, knife crime and youth services and have done so with confidence and pride; we look forward to more meeting in the new year.

Ghost-Writing Workshop with Seth Burkett

Year 8 pupils were extremely lucky on Wednesday to receive a talk and writing masterclass from award winning author Seth Burkett. Seth is an ex professional footballer who rose to fame as the only British player playing football in Brazil. He combined his passion for football with his love of writing to pen his first book based on his experiences called 'A Boy from Brazil'. At only 22 years of age, Seth became the youngest person ever to win the British Sports Book of the year award. More recently, Seth has become a ghostwriter for some of the world's biggest You Tube stars, Woody, Klieny and even the Singing Dentist.

The lucky Year 8 pupils received a masterclass in how to become a ghostwriter themselves - learning the questioning, interview and note-taking skills required. The pupils then applied these techniques to enable them to become ghostwriters themselves. The pupils found Seth's fascinating life story and subsequent workshops to be wonderfully inspiring, teaching them about a genre of writing very few has previously even been aware of. Copies of Seth's books are now available in the school library.
