DBS Wakra is among the top international schools in Qatar. DBS Wakra has been recognised by British Schools Overseas (BSO) in its November 2021 inspection report as being "an excellent school due to the strong leadership of the principal and the head of primary.” The BSO inspection team noted the following strengths:
We have transitioned to 100% online learning until 27th January 2022, as the Ministry of Education and Higher Education shared instructions.
During November 2021 CNN reached out to various schools and organisations to bring sustainability and reducing harm to our environment at the forefront of their agenda especially as the world leaders are realising how important it is to act now to save our planet. Many schools and organisations were invited to share their ideas via #CalltoEarth on November 10, 2021. The students of Doha British School Wakra worked very well to create a video to highlight tangible ways in which we as individuals can reduce our wastage of resources. The main students who were involved in the making of the video were Maya, Ziad, Rifqy, Insia and Nabil from Year11. Tina from year 9. Tricia and Shaurya from year 8, Tom and Arfan from year 7. DBS Wakra were the only school from Qatar to be included on CNN world events and this shows great pride. Well done to the DBS Wakra EcoSchools team!
We wish our DBS Wakra well for whatever they have planned over our winter break. After what is hopefully a restful, safe and enjoyable break from learning, students will return to school on Sunday January 2.
Today is the final day of the first half of the first term of this academic year. Next week our students and teachers will enjoy a well-earned break for one week before school resumes again on Sunday October 24.
After over a year of blended learning, we are delighted to welcome our brilliant students back to 100% in-school learning on Sunday October 3. Covid, however, is still with us and the pandemic has not passed, so we must keep many of the measures in place which have served us so well over the recent 18 months. For example, students will continue to adhere to social distancing guidelines and must continue to wear face masks in school.
Continuity of Learning: We will try to ensure that all children are taught effectively throughout this current period of closure and as a result we are publishing the virtual learning plan indicated below. The timing of the (virtual) school day is as follows: PERIOD 1 PERIOD 2 PERIOD 3 PERIOD 4 PERIOD 5 PERIOD 6 08.15 – 08.55 09.10 – 09.50 09.50 – 10.30 10.30 – 11.10 11.30 – 12.10 12.20 – 13.00 Parents will be required to manage the logistics of supervising children either while working from home or while working elsewhere. All members of the DBS Wakra community will do their utmost to provide the best service they can at this time. However, it will be important for us all to be flexible and patient when working online and when deadlines are inevitably missed. All teachers and students must check their email at 7:45 am each day from Sunday to Thursday for a daily briefing notice. Parents can contact the school as usual and their enquiry will be directed accordingly. As a school, we will remain in regular contact with staff, parents and students with at least one daily update on the status of the closure and online learning. Student participation during each day will be tracked as a means of registering learning. Please see below a list of instructions for how your child should continue to access learning during our current school closure: - Independent home learning tasks for students in pre-school, reception, Year 1 & Year 2 will be set via Class Dojo - Independent home learning tasks for students in Year 3 – Year 9 will be set via Google Classroom - Teachers will be available daily to provide independent home learning tasks and receive completed tasks as well as offer support, guidance and feedback during working hours - Teachers will keep a daily record of which students have participated each day in online learning - Early Years Maths & Phonics tasks will be set daily - Primary Maths, Reading & Writing tasks will be set daily - Tasks via online platforms such as Literacy Planet & MyMaths will also be provided for Key Stage 1&2 - Notifications relating to already published reading lists will be made - Primary Science, foundation and PE tasks will be supplied weekly for Key Stage 1&2 - Parents or children can send completed tasks back to their teacher in various forms and can liaise with their teacher about how to do this; this could be a photo, work uploaded on google classroom or sent via email. - Secondary subject specific tasks will be set daily - Tasks via subject specific online platforms will also be provided - Notifications relating to already published reading lists will be made - Parents or children can send completed tasks back to their teacher in various forms and can liaise with their teacher about how to do this; this could be a photo, work uploaded on google classroom or sent via email.
