The Science of Success

Chapter 9 Wilton Scholars spent time, this week, exploring the psychology behind positive thinking and exploring the ‘Science behind Success’. Pupils were challenged to think about the huge difference between ‘being alive’ and ‘living’. They explored how to change their mindset to become more positive learners - to change their lives for the better, both now and in the future. Pupils were asked to think about how to consciously change their mindset to create ambitious goals through positive thinking. They also discussed the value of failure in building resilience.

Chapter 7 Estate Agent Challenge

This week, Chapter 7 Wilton Scholar pupils became Estate Agents for the day. Working in teams, they were first asked to design and build a model dwelling. Pupils then needed to write an estate agent style brochure for their dwelling, applying appropriate, technical and adventurous vocabulary (taking into account unique selling points) to persuade prospective buyers. Organised by Mrs Doran, the event encouraged creativity, lateral thinking and required pupils to present their ideas collaboratively to also develop confidence in public speaking.

Role Model Week

Liverpool College was delighted to welcome 32 relatives into the school this week to help celebrate National Role Model week. Parents, grandparent, brothers, sisters and even uncles very kindly volunteered to take part in a special event to talk about their career, what skills are required to succeed in that career and what subjects in school pupils would need to develop if they wished to be successful in that career. Studies have shown that if children are able to make links between the world of work and school subjects, this has an extremely positive impact upon attitude to learning, motivation and attainment. It’s never too early to start thinking about their future.

From engineers to entertainers, musicians to midwives, programmers to paramedics, firefighters to financiers – a myriad of professions was showcased to educate and inspire our pupils.

Our heartfelt thanks to all for getting involved and giving up your time so generously.

Boarders celebrate Founders' Day

Our Boarding students celebrated the 182nd anniversary of Liverpool College founding, along with friends, day students, Deans and the Principal with a delicious dinner in the College dinning room.

In Mr Broekman's welcome speech, he spoke about the vision of the founding members and how proud they would be today, to see what it has become. 
The evening was filled with smiles, laughter and a debate over who gets to eat the last few potatoes. 
Thank you to Mr Coombs and team for yet again another scrumptious meal. 
 
Mrs Latham (Head of Boarding)

Cognitive Flexibility

Chapter 6 pupils had a masterclass in cognitive flexibility this week during an engaging LCX event. Pupils participated in a range of lateral thinking exercises, where Mrs Doran had them moving rapidly between tasks specifically designed to engage different hemispheres of the human brains. Developing cognitive flexibility techniques trains the brain to be able to adapt to new, changing or unplanned events.
