Each year, Qatar National Day brings us together in celebration of our nation’s rich history, cultural heritage, and remarkable journey of unity and progress. This year’s theme, “With You It Rises, From You It Awaits,” highlights the vital role of every individual in shaping Qatar’s present and future, and reflects the shared responsibility and pride that unite us as a community.

In this spirit, we are pleased to announce that our Qatar National Day Celebrations will take place on Thursday, December 11, 2025, on our campus.

Please note that regular classes will be held throughout the day, and attendance will be taken as usual.

This special event will include a variety of engaging activities, such as:

• Student Performances
• Henna Station
• Traditional Qatari Food
• There will also be a selection of vendors on campus offering food and refreshments for students to purchase.

Students are encouraged to wear traditional Qatari attire, while ensuring they continue to adhere to the school’s uniform policy.

We look forward to a memorable day filled with cultural pride, engaging activities, and a strong sense of unity.

We are excited to announce our upcoming International Day Celebration, which will take place on Thursday, November 13, 2025, from 10:35 AM to 1:20 PM at our school campus.

This vibrant event celebrates the diversity and cultural richness of our ISME community through:
• Booths representing countries from around the world.
• A variety of exciting activities and food options.

Please note the following important guidelines for this year’s celebration:
• Students are encouraged to come dressed in their traditional or cultural attire to proudly represent their heritage and bring their country’s flags to participate in the Parade.
• Students are not allowed to bring shared food for safety reasons. Any food brought to school must be individually packed, otherwise it will not be served during the event.
• We will have food vendors available on campus, so students are encouraged to bring money if they wish to purchase food or participate in certain activities.

We look forward to a wonderful day filled with learning, celebration, and cultural pride!
