The English Modern School Award Ceremony

It was announced earlier that we will be holding our first-ever English Modern School Award Ceremony. This Award Ceremony has been put together by the Well-Being Committee, consisting of Monique and Piet in Secondary and Jason and Amy Smith in Primary, in an attempt to recognise and subsequently praise your efforts in school this year.

The award categories will be as follows; The Humanitarian Award, The Professional Development Award, The Dedication Award, The Innovative Award and The Head of School Award.

Awards will be given out to people based on self/peer voting after which the destination of the award will be decided either by the Well-Being Committee or Head of School. The voting will begin today and you will do so within your departments throughout the school using a google form. For more information and to access your google form to vote please click here to view the ceremony slide presentation.

Thank you very much to everyone for all your efforts this year and we hope you take part in this unique event.

Keep working on the yearbook. I know content can be challenging with online and blended learning. Memes, videos, TikToks, projects, Pop Awards etc. can all be added for each group. Due Date: June 6th

The Big EMS Animal Food Drive

With the summer holidays fast approaching there has been a drive put together to support animals in Qatar over the hot summer months. A number of the shelters around the country are overrun and very much in need of food to continue to feed the animals in their care.

If you can donate food or even water bowls for animals over the summer then please do bring them to the Year 3 hub where Amy Kate will be collecting them on behalf of 2nd Chance Rescue. Any amount of food is welcome no matter how big or small. Amy Kate will be collecting between now and the week beginning the 13th June when she will be delivering the food gathered to the shelter. 

Thank you very much.
