Following the resounding success of last year's inaugural Aspirations Evening, we are delighted to announce its return. This event promises to be an inspiring opportunity for our Year 10 students to gain invaluable career insights from industry professionals.

The Aspirations Evening is designed to facilitate small grouped interactions between our students and professionals from the Doha College community. This unique format provides students with firsthand knowledge of the educational and experiential pathways that have led to various careers. It allows students to pose questions, explore academic backgrounds, inquire about extracurricular pursuits, and gain an understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by these professionals throughout their career journeys.

This year's event will take place on Monday, 5th and Tuesday, 6th May from 4.00 pm to 6.30 pm in the Doha College Auditorium. The evening will feature conversation carousels, in which professionals will rotate between small student groups, sharing their career journeys across a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, aviation, STEAM-related industries (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics), government, journalism, sport, IT, education, law, and many others.

If you would like to inspire our students and support them in exploring their future career pathways, please complete this form to express your interest in participating.

As part of our Disability and Neurodiversity Week (w/c 16th March), we are highlighting the valuable resources offered by the British Dyslexia Association. This year's focus is on dyscalculia – a specific learning difference affecting numerical understanding.

We encourage parents to explore the downloadable guides and the events page, which features fantastic upcoming webinars, including advice on supporting students as they prepare for exams.
