Secondary School Enrichment
Expanding horizons through engaging activities and personal growth.
At Secondary School, we believe in fostering well-rounded individuals through a wide array of enrichment programs. These activities are designed to complement our academic curriculum, helping students discover new talents, build leadership skills, and engage with their community.
Debate Club
The school is part of two debate leagues in Qatar. The first league if the QSDL (Qatar Schools Debate League) which is a segregated debate system. The school successfully runs a Junior Debate Team which is open for students between Yrs. 7-9 and a Senior Debate Team for students between Yrs. 10-12.
The purpose of the club is to raise public-speaking skills through use of argument, rebuttal and evidence. It goes without saying that these skills will most definitely improve our students’ English skills, vital skills where everyone has English predominately as a second language. The second league is the DSQ (Debate Schools of Qatar) which is a Junior Girls Debate team which is a mixed debate format run by international schools.
Humanities Symposium
The Symposium was the brainchild of Rodha in Yr 12 and Nawal in Yr 12 in bringing inspirational speakers to the school to raise awareness of contemporary business and social enterprise. To date we have had three speakers in the school and our target by the end of the year is five.
World Scholars Cup
The World Scholar’s Cup is an annual competition that is held in Doha to motivate students of all backgrounds to discover new strengths and practice new skills. It is also intended to inspire a global community of future scholars and leaders. This year the theme of the competition was An Imperfect World which saw our students compete in a live quiz round, a team debate and competition writing.
It was a hectic two days but well worth it as Al Jazeera Academy walked off with 26 medals but more importantly 8 of our teams qualified for the global round in Bangkok. This is the second year at World Scholars Cup but we are growing and hope to enter in more teams in the next academic year.
