The 2022 football competition and scavenger hunt suited active and sporty students. To celebrate
Qatar winning the 2022 World Cup, a penalty shoot-out occurred on the Doha College pitch where
students battled it out to score goals. The scavenger hunt was an exciting activity for students who
followed clues to collect items around the College.

13 students who planned, organised and executed Qatar Cultural Day. The success of the day was
due to careful planning, hard work and tenacity. This was a wonderful and fitting way to finish a
fantastic term at Doha College.

They had never done
anything like this before so it was a great learning opportunity
and they had full control of the event.

younger ones because of the fun activities we had planned for them. As a Qatari national it makes
me feel proud to be showing other nationalities our heritage and culture.

culture into Doha College. We educated the students on Qatars history and cultural and I hope
this becomes an annual event.
