Congratulations to Mr Farnan whose inspiring Chapel talks and running fundraising this term has raised a fantastic £1347 for the Alzheimer’s Society.
In loving memory of his grandfather, Bud, who battled with Vascular Dementia, Mr Farnan decided to sign up for the Liverpool Rock and Roll Half Marathon raising over £670 in sponsorship for the Alzheimer’s Society. He also recruited the help and support of pupils by raising money through this half term’s house competition “Guess the sweets to win the jar of treats”. Mr Farnan also raised awareness of Alzheimer’s and the work of the Alzheimer’s Society through a series of Chapel talks.
Congratulations to Jack J in Year 9 Selwyn’s who won the sweets competition with his guess of 335 sweets and a special thank you to Emily (Y9 Selwyn’s) for her remarkably generous donation and to all the pupils who helped raise a further £679 for the Alzheimer’s Society over the past few weeks.

Thank you to everyone who supported and took part in the Prep School Walk to School Protest, in support of Walk to School Week.
The pupils made some fantastic banners, partnered with poignant chants to promote walking to school, the park and stride initiative and keeping our zigzags clear. With the musical help of Mr Ainscough, the pupils even performed an original song, which really helped get the message across. There was even a guest appearance from the Walk to School mascot, Strider.
Already, there has been a massive reduction in the number of cars parking so close to school. Please continue to promote and enforce the important message underpinning our protest and help to keep our pupils, and our school, safe.

Last weekend a group of boarders tested their fearlessness as they swung through trees, clung to cargo nets and bravely zipped down wires at the Delamere Forest branch (yes, branch!) of the Go Ape outdoor pursuits challenge course.
Vertigo and balance issues notwithstanding, the boys (yes, the girls were too busy revising - they said!), negotiated the testing obstacle course with determination and gusto over 3 hours before returning to Liverpool successful conquerors of Cheshire!

On Saturday, over forty girls from Year 7, 8 and 10 boarded an early morning coach to Chester, in order to participate in a triangular of rounders matches versus Kings Chester and Alderley Edge Girls School. The sunny morning provided some entertaining matches and a first for Liverpool College rounders teams this term.
After a sluggish start against the impressive Alderley Girls, the College finally got into the games and produced some great team play, full of excitement and drama. At the end of the event, the College recorded some impressive results notably versus their hosts Kings Chester.

Last Saturday, the combined U12/U13 Girls Football team travelled to Cheadle Hulme School to play a 9-a-side fixture on grass. This fixture was played after many pupils had gained the valuable experience of coaching sessions in Holland with the Vitesse Arnhem Academy. The College didn't disappoint as they completely dominated their opposition from start to finish with some brilliant attacking Football which could have been taken out of Jurgen Klopp's textbook. The College were relentless throughout the match and wouldn't give Cheadle Hulme a minutes breathing space. Anna R and Mischa OC provided a formidable attack assisted with numerous crosses by Giselle R. The scoreline finished 7-1 to the College with Anna R scoring a hat-trick, the final score was a true reflection on how dominant the College were during the match.
