Superhuman Effort Ensures Y8 Win Their First Ever Football Match

After an academic year of no fixtures, the Y8 boys played their first ever football match and it was some match. The hosts Kings Leadership Academy were certainly no push over with their fast-moving play giving the College plenty to think about. After 15 minutes the College took the lead with a goal from Mohanned A and soon after Khalil M made it 2-0. The second half was a titanic battle in windy conditions and right at the start of the second half, Kings were given a penalty. Goalkeeper Erdis R made an amazing save to tip it around the post. Five minutes later and Kings were given another penalty and yet again another stunning save ensured the College maintained a two-goal lead. Back came Kings and from a corner the lead was finally narrowed to 2-1 with a fine finish. The College were not to be denied the win and Marco B broke free and fired home to ensure the College were the victors 3-1.

Boarders at Liverpool Water Sports Centre

The boarders had a lovely day at Liverpool Water Sports Centre on Saturday, and the weather helped. The views of Liverpool from a kayak were described as 'beautiful' by some. They also played on the aqua park; it was lovely seeing the smiling faces and hearing laughter. Water sports is a great mood booster, wellness regulator and a solid workout.

Boarders' Book Club

The boarders have started a book club on a Wednesday evening. We are currently reading Wonder by R.J.Palacio which I believe is a very fitting first book for new boarding students. The message I get from the book after reading it is to remember to be kind to everyone around you, no matter what the situation. We all have different backgrounds and different stories.

An Enthusiasm for Rugby within the Boarding House

Rugby is very much part of the boarding house this academic year with two Y8 boarders not only engaging in school sport but are part of local club side Liverpool Collegiate U13s. Cyrus S and Jan IG have recently played in matches at Bolton RFU and Ormskirk RFU and are enjoying the opportunity to improve their skills whilst waiting for their chance to represent the school. They have also engaged in after school rugby sessions alongside other pupils from the Y8 team.
