Y9 Magistrates Mock Trial

We would like to congratulate all Year 9 pupils who represented Liverpool College this week in the Young Citizens Magistrates Mock Trial Competition.  All Year 9 pupils were offered the opportunity to participate in this event, which helps young people gain an insight into the legal justice system. The event was launched by professional defence lawyer Sinead Fearson, from RMNJ Solicitors, in March. The participating students have been working for the past month on the project, including working with another lawyer, Mrs Parry, who kindly arranged one to one Teams meetings this week with pupils to help them prepare. During the event, pupils litigated a specially written criminal case on money laundering, assuming the roles of defence lawyers, magistrates, prosecution lawyers, a legal advisor, the defendant, the usher, witnesses and even a court reporter. The final mock trial, on Wednesday, was conducted virtually, presided over by experienced Magistrate Jane Bonner JP. The judges were extremely impressed with our team’s performance. Mrs Bonner commented on the ‘superb preparation, superb court manner, confident delivery of speeches and appropriate use of court language that made her feel as if she was in a real courtroom’. The pupils were described as ‘perceptive’ and as ‘extremely impressive’.

The Y9 Liverpool College Law team will now go on to the finals, competing directly against Eden Boys school from Birmingham on 30 June. Congratulations to all the pupils involved (Hannah, Giselle, Khan, Amy, Solomon, Friedeika, Ruby-Jo, Omar, Olivia, Patrick, Siya, Shamita, Sasha, Nia, Ella, Francesca, Christina, Oliva).

Football Stadium Tours

Once sunny afternoon in Liverpool, our boarders took a trip around the city, visiting Anfield and Goodison ... how could we let our international students leave Liverpool without having visited two of the biggest football grounds in the country (if not world!).

Farewell to the Y13 Boarders

Well, the time has come, we must say goodbye to our Y13 boarders. They have had a challenging year and their boarding experience has been hugely dictated by COVID-19 but they have survived it and achieved. 

From myself and the rest of the Boarding Team, we wish you lots of joy and happiness as you begin a new chapter in your life. 

Goodbye and good luck 'the boarders of 2019-20'.

Inter-House Netball Competition brings success to Howard’s

Last Saturday, all Y7 girls and a small number of boys from each house took part in an inter-house netball competition. Netball has been a huge miss this academic year due to the lockdown periods and the opportunity to participate in a tournament brought huge excitement and joy amongst the Y7 pupils. Eager to impress, the pupils didn't let down, portraying an array of netball skills and talents that impressed the onlooking coaches. Another impressive feature was the inclusion of boys, and they didn't let their House down, battling for each ball with determination and vigour. The tournament ended with Howard’s as winners and Esme W and Orla C being the star performers in a dedicated team. Other star performers were Summer B from Howson’s and Saria T from Selwyn's.
