Congratulations to Nawar in Year 13 who has won a national essay prize organised by TechFest as part of STEM Next - a competition exploring the future of STEM research. The competition was open to 16 - 18 year olds and was a solo project that required independent research and writing. Nawar's title was 'Can CRISPR Gene Editing Technology Cure Cancer?' Nawar will receive her prize at an awards ceremony later this month. Well done Nawar.

This remembrance piece was created by the Art trainee teachers, Mr Traves and Ms Cliffe and was installed on the grounds at the front of school. The piece will be used a point of discussion on remembrance and reflection with form groups this week.

On Friday afternoon, the Chapter 8 football team had the mammoth task of playing an in form All Saint's team in the 3rd round of the ESFA Cup on home soil. The game started very evenly with very few clear-cut chances in the opening 15 minutes. Then suddenly the game burst into life when All Saints hammered home the opening goal from outside the area. The College, playing a 4-4-1-1 formation tried to steady the ship with the ball being shipped out to the wingers as quickly as possible. This tactic is when the College nearly equalised when only the bar denied the home team an equaliser. That equaliser came minutes later when the right footed Erdis R burst inside from the left wing and buried a shot into the top corner of the goal. Within minutes the College and Erdis R poached the second of the game finding space in the All Saints penalty area and with a poacher's instinct the College were 2-1 ahead. Just before half time the defining moment of the match came when All Saints were awarded a controversial penalty. The resulting penalty was brilliantly saved by Liverpool College goalkeeper Layton N, much to the delight of the home team players and watching parents. The second half was about the passion, the spirit and who wanted progression to the 4th round most, and it was most certainly Liverpool College. Every pupil put their heart and soul into the second half, being first to the ball and winning every tackle. It was no surprise that the third and fourth goals quickly came for the College through Harry Q and Kingston AG.
What a performance with a demonstration of class and pure energy throughout the 70 minutes.
Final score, Liverpool College 4 All Saints 1.

Our boarders are getting in the Halloween spirit early this year. On Saturday 16 October, we took part in the Hope Street Shivers Ghost tour. The tour experience takes in both of the city’s striking Cathedrals, the crooked smile of Rodney Street and the mysterious story of Will McKenzie’s blackened pyramid tomb, bears witness to the faded grandeur of the old Wellington Rooms and the shadowy opulence of the City’s Georgian Old Town. Concluding beneath the Gothic majesty of Liverpool Anglican Cathedral in St James’ cemetery, the City’s former necropolis resting place for nearly 58,000 souls. It was nice to enjoy the beautiful views of our city in a different light, whilst having a giggle and a scare at the same time.
When it comes to Halloween activities, there's nothing like making time for pumpkin carving. It is a fun activity to get into the Halloween spirit and a great way to express your creativity, regardless of your age. The day boarders did really well making their pumpkins. We displayed some at the front of the boarding house.
