This week Wilton Scholars from Year 7 and 8 participated in a superb business enterprise workshop.
Pupils were asked to team up and create a company name, logo and strap line. They explored the psychology of shopping habits and used these to enhance their creativity when pitching to an audience. Groups were then asked to create an advertising campaign for an everyday product such a rolling pin or ball of string.
Once each team received feedback to hone their presentation skills, they were then given the task of creating a corporate video to promote the school Library. Working directly with a professional videographer, pupils were given advice about lighting, framing and sound management and acoustics. The finished video, which advertises and promotes the different opportunities and resources available within the school library, will be available for viewing on the website shortly.
Well done to all the pupils involved and thank you to Mrs Doran and the Wilton Trust for creating this opportunity for our pupils to put their Lerpoolian learner traits of purpose, passion and challenge into action.

As part of our extensive careers and STEM programme within the LCA+ curriculum, Year 12 students gained an insight into ‘Upcoming Future Trends in the World of Work’ this week.
Liverpool College was delighted to welcome Prof Atkinson, the Dean of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Computer Science at Liverpool University, who delivered a presentation about possible careers involving Computing and emerging technologies.
Prof Atkinson specialises in Artificial Intelligence and Law Tech. She spent time explaining to students the various reasons why they should consider a career involving computing, including sharing facts such as 99% of computing graduates were able to secure a job after leaving university and that computing related jobs was the fourth highest paid sector for graduates in 2018.
We would like to thank Prof Atkinson for giving up her valuable time to share her experiences with the students.
