On Tuesday, 21st May, DC will have a ‘Drop Down’ Culture Day. During this day pupils will be invited to wear their traditional, cultural, or country dress/colours. They will then take ‘a trip around the world’ learning about many of the diverse cultures and communities that make DC so wonderful.

Thank you to all the families who have already offered their support, resources or knowledge for this day! I have now closed the survey response and am in the process of collating this information. I will be in contact soon to link up parents wishing to share information about the same countries/cultures.

If you wish to be involved in this and did not manage to respond in time, please contact mhesketh@dohacollege.com or the main office.

Mobile Phones:

In secondary school, mobile phones should be kept silent and out of sight. We have reviewed our current guidance regarding phone usage on campus during Term 2, including input from parent focus groups during the 'Sip and Stroll' events. At the beginning of Term 3, we will discuss plans with our parent body, and details of an upcoming webinar on this topic will be communicated shortly.

Punctuality:

Our focus on punctuality to lessons during Term 2 has proven successful in raising standards in secondary school. We will continue to emphasise our expectations throughout Term 3. We appreciate your continued support.

6th Form Lanyards:

Students have responded positively to our reinforcement of expectations regarding the wearing of lanyards. We appreciate your support in adhering to this important protocol, which is designed to ensure the safety of students on campus.

Study Leave & Revision for Year 11, Year 12 and Year 13:

The last day of school before study leave commences is Thursday, 25th April. During study leave, students are still welcome in school and must follow their normal timetabled lessons. 

Students should make productive use of the holiday period to complete plenty of revision. This must include lots of quizzing and past exam question practice. Further details about the revision programme on offer once Study Leave commences will be shared by Mr Corke.
