This Month @ CLIP - December 2024
 Lourenço’s Return: A CLIP Alumni Story Meet Lourenço, a proud 2021 graduate of CLIP who returned to reflect on the special moments this holiday season. Currently completing his final year in Computer Science at the University of Manchester, Lourenço shared how CLIP’s motto, “Once a Clipper, Always a Clipper,” continues to resonate.   December 2024 Highlights at CLIP This month brought a mix of tradition, celebration, and community engagement: - Hope & Joy 2024: The holiday season was centred on love, family, and the power of words. This year’s theme welcomed everyone back to the sense of belonging that defines CLIP. - Lower School Christmas Celebrations: The youngest Clippers brought festive magic to life with their joyful celebrations. - Spirit Week in Middle and Upper School: Students showed off their creativity and unity during a week of themed activities. - Clippers in Motion: The generosity of CLIP’s community was on full display through charitable initiatives that made an impact.   A Holiday Postcard from the Media Club In collaboration with the Media Club, Lourenço helped create a holiday postcard celebrating the strength of words and the feeling of belonging. This project highlights the lasting connections formed within the CLIP community.   What’s Next for 2025? As CLIP looks forward to the new year, the focus remains on celebrating moments of togetherness and building on the strong bonds of its Clippers, past and present.
