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!’

“This year has been a... tumultuous one to say the least. We have now finished an entire school year doing blended learning! Throughout this year, we have still been able to partake in a variety of different creative activities that were always interesting and entertaining. As a House, we have done our very best to attend our online lessons, participate in classes and get as many merits as possible! This year was like no other and we have shown resilience and perseverance despite everything that was thrown at us. We have worked together as a team all through this year and we should be extremely proud of ourselves!” Raihah Noor Chaudhry, 10A, Lower Senior House Vice Captain
