OL Annual Dinner

The Rt Hon Jake Berry MP (Minister of State for the Northern Powerhouse and Local Growth) was the honoured guest at the OL Founders’ Day Dinner last Friday night. Mr Berry is one of three OLs serving in Parliament. His speech made clear his determination to see Liverpool and the region flourish by driving a policy of devolution and decentralization.

We hope Mr Berry will be able to visit our Sixth Form and share his experience of his work in Parliament and government.

Hockey v St Bede's College

On Saturday, four Liverpool College Hockey teams boarded an early morning bus to travel to Manchester for a fixture versus St Bede's College. The schools have built a strong sporting relationship in girls sport during the past two academic years and have produced some thrilling matches. This academic year was no different and all the matches were evenly matched.

The scores were as follows:

St Bede's College U16 2 Liverpool College U16 3
St Bede's College U14 0 Liverpool College U14 0
St Bede's College U13 0 Liverpool College U13s 4
St Bede's College U12s 1 Liverpool College U12s 0

Record Audition Process

Our production of Popstars, the 90s musical, performed by Prep and Middle School pupils finally has a cast list. It took 450 minutes or 7.5 hours to audition the 173 pupils who hoped to be part of the production. That process is now done, an achievement in itself and a certain sign that the arts are thriving at the College.

We look forward to seeing the cast in action in March, live in the MV Theatre.

Wilton Scholars visit to NHS Transplant Centre

Year 11 pupils took part in a Liverpool College first on Tuesday when they were invited to attend a STEM focused event at the NHS Blood and Transplant centre in Speke.

As well as a guided tour of the facilities, pupils also participated in a range of hands-on, science focused events ranging from learning how to put on gloves without compromising sterility, to identifying tissue samples, to completing the Maths test presented to potential job applicants at the centre, to discussing the various careers within the Transplant field.

This is a truly fascinating area of medical science and one that pupils very rarely get to experience. Our thanks to Jo Galloway for arranging the event.

Cross Country Update

This academic year, the sports department have taken on a greater involvement with cross country and recently a number of pupils have been involved in two races which have taken place at Calderstones Park. The races have been very competitive, and it has been positive to see pupils from Liverpool College finish alongside some of the fastest runners in the race.

The College will be involved in another race at Camp Hill, Woolton later in the month, but before that, there will be a number of charity house runs taking place next week during games lessons to raise money for a charity located in Sefton Park.
