We are proud to introduce our Student Leaders from Secondary. Our elected school representatives play a crucial role in initiating positive changes to our school, driving student engagement, and ensuring that the voices of our students are heard.
.
Juliana El Khoury, Head Student ~ I am deeply honoured to have been elected as Head Student here at Doha British School. This role is not just a title, instead it is a responsibility I take to heart and I look forward to this opportunity to lead and make a meaningful impact this year.
.
Yan Kojoukhen, Head Student ~ It is truly an honour to represent our school as Head Student this academic year, having been a part of this community for the past 13 years. Embracing the profound wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, “Do not be wise in words - be wise in deeds”, I firmly believe that orchestrating meaningful events and implementing realistic, positive changes for our community’s development and well-being carries a much greater significance than using this platform solely for complaints. I look forward to listening and acting on your aspirations soon!

The children enjoyed an extravagant array of sandwiches, pastries, fruits and cakes whilst drinking tea from the teacups that they brought in. The afternoon was a great success and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

This week, we embraced unity and celebrated diversity at Doha British School during Anti-Bullying Week. This year`s theme, `Make a Noise About Bullying,` resonates deeply within our community. On November 13th, we came together for an `Odd Socks Day,` symbolising our commitment to celebrating differences and standing up against bullying. Beyond the fun and laughter, these odd socks carry a powerful message of embracing individuality, fostering acceptance, and promoting tolerance. Let`s make some noise for kindness and inclusivity!

Incredible wins for our Year 3 and Year 4 boys! Year 4 boys played fantastically well in the QPPSSA Football tournament to win Gold in the final. They came back from 1 nil down in the semi final and won the final on penalties! Year 3 boys also won their 3rd place final on penalties to take the bronze. It went all the way to the 8th penalty taker so a huge well done to all our boys!

We also welcomed special guests like Mr. Jose from DEAP Sustainability Qatar who shared insights on waste issues, and Mr. Ghanim Al Sulati who inspired our Secondary Eco-Schools committee with his sustainable journey and vegan lifestyle. 🌿 To cap it off, our students proudly wore green and blue on Thursday 9th November, showcasing their commitment to a more sustainable DBS environment. 💚💙 #qatarsustainabilityweek #dohabritishschool

A very successful football tournament for both teams with Year 5 taking the Gold medal and Year 6 winning the Bronze. Year 5 only conceded 1 goal and scored 20 in their 6 matches! Year 6 showed great resilience to bounce back, after a disappointing semi final loss on penalties, to win their bronze medal match!

Today, we proudly showcase the amazing work of our Year 10 student Ryan who developed a computing app called BIDMAS. The app works as a calculator which not only computes but also shows the steps on how a calculation is done, giving its users an added learning experience! Well done Ryan!
"Hi! I am Ryan Zorkot, a 14 year-old Year 10 student at Doha British School, Qatar. I have a great passion for maths and programming, which made me develop an application which I call the BIDMAS Console Calculator. It is a numeric calculator developed in C++ that not only calculates whatever you give it, but can also give steps on how it calculates a result. In addition to BIDMAS, it also supports trigonometric functions, square/cube roots, and commonly-used constants such as Pi and Euler`s Number. It is not case sensitive, and it supports spaces, so you can express your calculations as neatly and spaced-out as you want. In addition, it uses a text-based interface, which is much faster and uses less resources, so even the slowest Windows computers can run it.
When developing the calculator, I followed an iterative development approach. This is where a big project is broken down into smaller chunks that can be deployed in a shorter amount of time. Feedback is most important in between iterations. Therefore, this is where I seek opinions from family and friends to incorporate new ideas into the next iteration. This calculator has undergone many of these, starting from basic arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction, to more advanced mathematical operations such as multiplication, division, powers, trigonometry, and roots. Due to how the calculator supplies working out information, not only can it be used as a simple calculator, but it can also be used to help people understand the sheer nature of BIDMAS. It can also help with school homework, and as a utility for more advanced users to solve more complex mathematical operations COMPLETELY offline."

Huge congratulations to our Year 8 students on their amazing success in the recent U13 QUESS Football Competition. Out of 32 schools across Qatar, DBS finished 3rd overall, bringing home a bronze medal. Our students were absolutely fantastic, beating some of the most competitive schools across the country!
.
After going unbeaten in our group, and then winning our last 16 match & Quarter final match, we lost to a `last minute goal` against the eventual winners in the Semi Final. We recovered from that disappointment quickly, and went on to be victorious in the 3rd and 4th place finals.

At Doha British School we understand that we must work together with parents to ensure that all children thrive. In partnership with Friends of DBS (FoDBS), this workshop was the first in a series that looked at cognitive development and how together we can support children to flourish by understanding developmental stages from birth to 18 years of age.

Since the beginning of term, children in Year 4 have been learning all about the Ancient Greeks. On Thursday 12th October, the children celebrated their knowledge by taking part in a Greek Day. There were many different activities that the children completed such as making hair wreaths out of leaves, creating their own Olympic torches, colouring Greek mosaic vases and they competed in an exciting quiz all about The Trojan War. To end this spectacular day, the children hosted their own assembly based on everything they`ve learnt about the Ancient Greeks.
