The Great Boarding Bake Off

There were seven contestants for this year’s Great Boarding Bake Off. The boarders presented us with delicious sweet pastries and cakes which made the job of deciding the winners incredibly difficult. After much deliberation, the winners were finally announced as follows:

• 3rd Place - Gaetano M S (Howard’s) with a delicious raspberry shortcake
• 2nd Place - Yannicq D (School) who baked a patisserie perfect Devil’s Food Cake with mirror icing
• 1st Place and the winner of the Great Boarding Bake Off 2019 was Elitsa T (Howson’s) who made a stunning fresh fruit pavlova

Well done and thank you to all our contestants. The standards were quite exceptional.

All monies raised will help us put a Help the Homeless food hamper together.

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.

The U13-U14 combined Boys put on a dominant display to win 4-0 with Callum H and Jaydon R in fine form, and the U14 Boys team cruised to victory putting 7 goals past their opponents from Leicestershire.

A good afternoon for Liverpool College sport.

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.
