29th February 2024

Last weekend, it was an absolute privilege to see the community come together on campus for our Spring Fayre.

I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all of those who came along and a particular thank you to the Friends of Doha College for their excellent work in making the event so special and memorable. I am sure they would also join me in thanking the many staff members who supported the event - from the facilities and marketing teams to the many teachers who ran stalls or simply attended with their families.

This week in College, our Chair of the Board of Governors, Eduardo Vieira hosted our Annual Parents Forum, and huge thanks again to all those parents who attended and who were able to hear about some of the College’s successes over the past academic year and discuss our plans for the future. It was wonderful to be able to answer the questions that were posed and to say a huge community thank you to the parents, staff members and other governors who volunteer their time so generously to help with the strategic oversight of the College.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Principal
