Mental Health Awareness Week
As you may know, May 9th-15th is celebrated as Mental Health Awareness Week in Qatar and to show our support and celebrate mental health we would appreciate it if students and teachers come to school wearing "Green" on
Sunday- 15th- May-2022
For Teachers:
Attached is a link for teacher's support and staff wellbeing. Wonderful resource on self-care, handling stress and trauma, burnout and how to avoid it etc.
For Students:
Please Play the video (link below) in your classroom anytime during the day on the 15th for students to understand the need of talking about their mental health and asking for help when needed.
For Parents:
Any parent that you may know of who works closely with the mental health industry can be invited to have a quick chat with the students either in person or via a live call. Please let me know if you know of someone who is willing to participate. This can be done any day next week.

Awesome artwork
The students' artwork, old and brand new, on the Block D back staricase is wonderful. Take 5 to have a look for yourself when you get a minute! Brilliant job by our students and art teachers.
Dear colleagues,
World Password Day is celebrated every year on the first Thursday of May, and it reminds us of the importance of protecting ourselves through strong passwords.
Having that in mind, at the same time that we want to help our students be smart and safe when using online devices, so we would like you to schedule various activities that address the topic of Online Safety with your class during May.
Thanks to everyone for your cooperation in helping to make our students safe online.
Parents are back in the building
This week we welcomed parents back into school and E Block welcomed parents back into the building for pick up times. It was nice to bring back another piece of normality to our school lives again.
Day-to-day info - it's good to know!
