The UN Sustainable Development Goals state as paramount that citizens work towards Responsible Consumption and Production and Sustainable Cities and Communities. So, every school that recognises the importance of a healthy diet for a good quality of life should try to grow food organically with their students. That’s what we started doing at the end of last school year, when we installed nine growing beds right at the entrance of The Shire. Lettuce and cabbage, tomatoes and peppers, beetroots and pumpkins, they all grew abundantly in a few weeks and without the need to go back to synthetic pesticides. These were cared for by students from every level of our school, and we got an astonishing first harvest in the last day of school. Students, parents, teaching and non-teaching staff gathered to celebrate and bring home several vegetable products. It was the kickstart of a project that we hope will become evermore fruitful by being integrated in the curricular activities of our students.   Maria João Rebola & Edgar Fernandes Eco-Committee Coordinators

And finally, after two years without it, the emotion and high spirit of Varsity is back. Since middle school, this tournament was something I've always looked up to. - Beatriz Espírito Santo, F12 & MVP

The competition is a chance for students to showcase their sporting abilities and earn valuable points for their respective Houses in the race for the coveted House Cup.   This year's competition was particularly exciting, with the final match being one of the most intense in recent memory. Delta and Sigma both played with incredible speed and precision, making it a thrilling contest from start to finish. Delta ultimately emerged as the winner, earning them valuable points for their House and putting them in a strong position in the House Cup race.   One of the most impressive aspects of the competition was the support and enthusiasm of the audience. The stands were full of supporters from all Houses, cheering on their teammates and creating a lively and exciting atmosphere. The players fed off this energy, and it was clear that the audience played a vital role in the competition's success.   The Interhouse Futsal Competition is just one of the many ways CLIP encourages student participation in sports and promotes teamwork and sportsmanship. The competition provides an opportunity for students to showcase their skills, form new friendships, and work together towards a common goal.   We would like to congratulate Delta on their hard-fought victory and thank all the players, coaches, and supporters who made the competition such a success. We look forward to seeing what next year's competition will bring!
