As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety, we are marking Road Safety Awareness Week at Doha College — a timely reminder of the crucial role we all play in ensuring our school remains a safe environment for our children.

As parents, you are our valued partners in promoting a culture of safety. We kindly ask you to:

• Use Designated Drop-off and Pick-up Points: Vehicles are to use authorised zones for pick-up and drop-off. Avoid stopping in undesignated areas or blocking access routes.

• Adhere to Speed Limits and Follow Security Instructions: The safety team are there to assist — please be courteous and follow their directions, especially during peak times.

• Avoid Distracted Driving: Stay off your phone while driving through school zones and always remain vigilant for crossing students.

• Plan for Extra Time: Especially during busy mornings or special events. Rushing can lead to risky driving decisions.

• Model Good Road Behaviour for Students: Remember, children watch and learn from us. Practicing road courtesy and patience teaches them lifelong safety habits.

Working Together for a Safer School

We have been actively working with external agencies, including Ashghal and traffic consultants, to explore long-term solutions for traffic management around our campus. In the meantime, your cooperation and vigilance remain vital in safeguarding our school community.

Let’s continue to make Doha College a model of responsibility and care — because every child’s safety matters.

Thank you for your support.
