Annual Celebrations
The whole college meets twice a year in the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. In October it is to celebrate the feast of Edward the confessor the saint in which the college is named after. A mass is held within the cathedral and attendance is compulsory for all pupils and staff members.
In March, the college meets once again at the cathedral for Founder's Day. This is the annual prize giving day where awards are given for students who have excelled in subjects, along with the distribution of AS and A-Level results. Again attendance is compulsory for pupils and staff and the guest speaker is normally an Old Edwardian which has been successful at their work (eg, Chairman of a international company).

Famous quotes containing the word annual:
“From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has already been solved. After all, we already have a drug which can be sold at the incredible price of $8,000 an annual dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the market by actually curing anyone.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
