The Moreau Leaving Scholarships programme has been running for fourteen years, and the Society was delighted to welcome

first-year cheques by Paul Taylor, in one of his final public appearances as Head of the College.

JOE LIPMAN
(MOREAU SCHOL AR 2019-22) WROTE:
I was at Framlingham College from the
age of 10, when I joined Brandeston Hall,
and the Moreau Leaving Scholarship will
hopefully ensure that my connection, with
the place that has given me so much,
remains strong. After moving up to the
College in Year 9, it instantly became a
second home for me. I was determined to
grasp all the opportunities on offer and
never looked back since joining the school.
I engaged in nearly all parts of College life:
from academics, studying French, Russian,
Economics and History at A Level, to
participation in sports teams, including 1st
XV rugby, and various theatre productions,
including lead roles in Jekyll and Hyde,
and Much Ado About Nothing, as well
as Peer Mentoring, the CCF, the History
Society and the Exchange programme. It

was all great and I loved engaging in so
many different parts of school life, which
helped me to gain so many different skills
and experience. From September onwards I
will be completing a number of internships
in London, Nur-Sultan (Kazakhstan) and
Moscow, as well as going on a volunteering
scheme in Fiji with Think Pacific, a charity
founded by an OF, before going on
to travel around South-East Asia. The
following year I plan to go to university to
study Politics, something that I plan to use
as a foundation for my future career. As
for the Moreau Leaving Scholarship, I am
extremely excited to do my best to achieve
the goals of the scheme. Firstly, keeping
the year group together after we leave
is key. Through events such as days out
playing golf, or organising outings to the
Newmarket Nights concerts for example, I
plan to make sure that we remain as close
as we are now. Secondly, I plan to further
promote the relationship of our year group
Joe Lipman
with the rest of the OF society, a collection
of individuals that will prove extremely
valuable to us as the most recent leavers.
Finally, promoting the interests of the school
that has given us all so much is crucial, and
I plan to do as much as I can to make sure
that the key values of the College remain at
the core of all the Leavers of 2019.
