SHIRBURNIAN SENIOR SCHOOL
HAMAD HAMAD HAMAD HAMAD In the face of adversity, Hamad House has continued to hold together and embrace its identity. We’ve been challenged with a vastly different Interhouse competition this year; one which still provided variety, opportunities and challenges. As with previous years, Hamad House showed particular strengths when given the chance to be creative in Interhouse activities like designing House logos, face masks and kit. Hamad pupils also enjoyed other creative sessions like our ‘Express Yourself’ tasks which was ran to promote ‘Children’s Mental Health Week’. Throughout the year, I was continuously very proud of how interactive and engaged our Hamad House pupils were during Interhouse sessions. Teamwork skills were on show throughout those Week B Thursdays and it was often clear how driven our pupils were to succeed. Throughout my time, as Head of Hamad, I have been so grateful for the pupils and the teachers alike; both of whom are incredibly hard-working, co-operative and willing to give it their all for the House. Despite the pandemic, we still managed to put our heads together to host a hugely successful Charity Week. We have managed to raise funds for our sister school in Cambodia, through United World Schools, and also have managed to make donations to Second Chance Animal Rescue which is based here in Qatar. A massive thank you to all Hamad reps, most notably our Charity Reps, who supported in a variety of ways during this week. “Coming Together is the Beginning, Keeping Together is the Progress and Working Together is the Success!” This quote has really resonated with me recently and it makes me think about the evolution of Hamad House. We have grown so much over the years and I am very excited to see what the future holds. Always remember, ‘Hamad Works Hardest!’ William Curneen Head of Hamad House 136
