Our CLIP Teams delivered an outstanding performance to be crowned district champions of the Girls’ Sub14 2nd Division of the Associação de Basquetebol do Porto.   The final, held on 14 June 2026 at the Fernando Gomes Municipal Pavilion in Vila Nova de Gaia, saw our players rise to the occasion with confidence, teamwork, and determination, securing a convincing 55–38 victory over GDB Leça.   Beyond the scoreline, their performance reflected months of dedication, training, and a shared commitment to improving as a team. This achievement is a testament not only to the players’ talent and hard work, but also to the support and guidance of their coaches and the encouragement of the wider school community.   We are incredibly proud of this remarkable milestone and of the way our athletes represented CLIP with such spirit and sportsmanship.

We are delighted to share that a group of F9 students, alongside members of Clippers in Motion, recently took part in our intergenerational letter exchange project.   As part of this initiative, students wrote letters to residents at Casa Maior Porto, a local care home for the elderly.   Earlier this month, the students received heartfelt replies from their new pen pals and were truly moved and excited by the experience. It has been wonderful to witness the genuine connections beginning to form through these exchanges.   Clippers in Motion are proud to continue this project, as it not only raises awareness about the lives and experiences of older members of our community, but also encourages students to reflect on their importance in society.   Through this initiative, students develop greater empathy, respect, and a deeper sense of social responsibility.   We have also learned from Casa Maior that the residents greatly cherish these letters. For many, this exchange offers a meaningful moment of connection, helping them feel less lonely and more included.   Clippers in Motion are currently organising a visit to Casa Maior, where students will have the opportunity to meet their pen pals in person and strengthen these special intergenerational bonds.
