Work Experience at St. Georges Hall

Thursday, 5th November 2026, 16:19

Our Year 10 students enjoyed a workplace encounter/ educational visit to St George's Hall in Liverpool in November. During the visit, they explored several of the building's most famous areas, including the historic prison cells, the impressive courtroom, where they took it in turns to be the Judge, the accused, and the jury. It is safe to say that we have some budding actors here at Olsen House School!

We were shown the impressive Great Hall which holds various events throughout the year, and the Concert Room, once again the students took it in turns to stand on the stage, this time telling jokes etc.

Students learned about the history and purpose of each area, gaining an insight into Liverpool's heritage, justice system, and architectural achievements. The visit provided a valuable opportunity for students to engage with local history in a practical and interactive way.

We were also given an insight into some of the jobs available at St Georges Hall including working within events and hospitality, health and safety, security and volunteering in the heritage centre.

The students were respectful and engaged throughout the morning, asking questions and showing interest in the building's fascinating stories. The visit was both enjoyable and educational, supporting their learning while helping to develop confidence and independence in a community setting.
