Discover the school daily schedule, including timings for classes, parent pick-up/drop-off details, and more. Timings and School Day The school operates from Sunday to Thursday during term time. There are three terms per year, with the long summer break typically from late June until late August. SCHOOL Why Choose AWIS Ethos, Vision and Mission Community Timings and School Day Uniform Policies Drop-off is 06:45 to 07:10. Drop-off and Pick-up The school gates open at 06:45 each morning. Please do not drop your children off before then, as they will be unable to enter the premises and we do not have staff available to supervise them. Students arriving after 07.10 are considered late, and will have missed registration. Please report to the School Office, where staff will add him/her to the class register for the day. Note that timings are staggered to reduce traffic congestion, so we appreciate parents doing their best to abide by the following guidelines: Foundation Stage: Arrive 06:45 to 07:10 Depart 13:00 to 13:15 Years 1 to 6: Arrive 06:45 to 07:10 Depart 13:45 to 14:00 For security, all children must be collected by an adult who has previously been registered with the school as authorised to collect. This information is part of our Application Form. If you need to authorise additional people to collect your child, or change this data in any way, please call the School Office so we can make suitable arrangements. Please make all reasonable efforts to collect your children on time at the end of the school day, as staff supervising them have to leave for other tasks. However, we fully understand that, on occassion, circumstances intervene! If you are running a bit late to collect, we would appreciate a phone call to the School Office , so we can make the necessary arrangements for supervision of your child beyond normal working hours. Collecting Your Child Mid-morning We recognise there is an occasional need to collect children during the school day - for example, for a doctor's appointment. In such a case, please visit the School Office where staff will document the reason for early collection and give you a permission slip. This slip should then be given to the class teacher when collecting your child from the classroom. After School Club We offer an After School Club to Foundation Stage students, as teaching finishes earlier for the youngest children. This keeps them safe, busy and entertained from 13.00 (when Foundation Stage finishes) until 14.00 (when Years 1 - 6 finish) so that parents can collect siblings at the same time. Note that there is a nominal charge for this service. Absences If your child is going to be absent for one or more days then, regardless of the reason, we would appreciate notification of the dates and a brief explanation. We use this to update registers and to ensure that the School Office and the Class Teachers are both aware of any children not expected in school. School Office Normal hours for the School Office are 06.45 until 14.30 during term time, for Sunday until Thursday. During school holidays, the office works reduced hours of 08.00 until 12.00, from Sunday until Thursday. It is completely closed during statutory holidays (for example, Eid) and at very quiet periods. The office is always closed every Friday and Saturday. Typical School Day Foundation Stage The school day for our Foundation Stage children begins with drop-off between 06:45 and 07:15. Parents are welcome to accompany their children into the Foundation Stage area to help them settle in. A staff member is on duty each morning to greet and receive students, while teachers use this time to prepare for the day ahead. We understand that some younger children may take time to adjust, and we encourage parents to work closely with our staff to ensure a happy and smooth start to the day. Developing independence is a key focus of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) programme. From the outset, children are guided on how to organise themselves for class, fostering confidence and self-sufficiency. The daily schedule includes two half-hour breaks, with time allocated for eating during each break. As we do not have a cafeteria on site, children are required to bring a packed lunch from home. Foundation Stage finishes at 13:00. At the end of the school day, children are encouraged to tidy up their belongings and ensure they have everything they need for home. An After School Club is available from 13:00 to 14:00, offering supervised care and activities. This service requires additional payment. This allows parents with siblings in older year groups to collect children at the same time. Year 1 to Year 6 Children in Years 1-6 can be dropped off from 06:45, with pick-up from 13:45. The school day is structured to provide engaging learning opportunities, with registers taken promptly at 07:20 and lessons beginning at 07:30. The school day includes three breaks: A 5-minute snack break at 08:25. A 45-minute break at 10:05, where children have 30 minutes to eat and 15 minutes for outdoor play. A 20-minute break for eating at 12:30. As there is no cafeteria on-site, children need to bring a packed lunch each day. After School Club runs daily from 14:00 to 15:00 at an additional cost. We also offer a range of Extra Curricula Activities (ECA's) - see here . Transport Please be aware that the school does not operate a school bus. We have, in the past, facilitated parents and companies wishing to organise a transport service to/from a specific housing compound and/or a specific employer. No such bus services are currently operating. If anybody wishes to organise a transport service, we are happy to assist by putting relevant parents in contact. Please contact the School Office as a first step. 2025-26 Term Dates - approved by MoEHE .pdf Download PDF • 728KB

Alice the Musical A Magical Journey to Wonderland Published: 19 May 2025 An unforgettable journey to wonderland, brought to life through the amazing acting, singing and dancing of over 50 AWIS students. What an unforgettable adventure we’ve had with Alice the Musical! As Musical Director, I had the absolute pleasure of guiding our incredibly talented students through this creative journey from auditions to standing ovations. The Build Up It all began back in November, when the excitement started to build as we announced auditions for our school production. Over 77 children auditioned, a fantastic turnout which showed the enthusiasm and passion of our students. Each child sang a song of their choice and performed a character excerpt. It’s safe to say that Ms. Sharon, Ms. Rebecca and I were blown away by their courage, talent, and energy. Casting was no easy task! After much consideration, we revealed the final cast list in December to great anticipation and cheers for one another. Rehearsals officially kicked off in January. Each week, our dedicated chorus worked hard learning brand new songs, while those with speaking roles brought their characters to life scene by scene. From the Mad Hatter to the Queen of Hearts, we were getting to know a whole new cast of wonderful characters and the children were already showing another side to them full of drama and fun. We rehearsed consistently right through to March, when we paused for a well-deserved break during Ramadan. Once April sprang, it was full steam ahead as we entered our final stretch. Rehearsals intensified for sure with extra hours after school, lunchtime run-throughs, and every spare moment spent polishing scenes, lines, and songs. The commitment shown by the children was nothing short of superb. The days were flying by and before we knew it the big nights had arrived May 18 and 19. As the children arrived early, bubbling with excitement and nerves, we could feel the magic in the air. Parents began to fill the seats, the lights dimmed, and all of a sudden… we were in Wonderland. The Performance What followed was an electrifying performance filled with colour, laughter and music. The audience were taken on an adventure from the real world to wonderland meeting the most peculiar characters. We took part in a ‘Caucus Race’, a ‘Mad Tea Party’ and even had time for a game of ‘Croquet’ before investigating ‘Who Stole the Tarts?’ The children shone on stage, bringing every character to life with joy and confidence. There were so many beautiful musical moments, not to mention a few surprises that had the audience singing along too! The atmosphere was marvelous. It was much more than a show, it was a celebration of hard work, creativity, and teamwork. The first of its kind in AWIS, and we, the staff, parents and AWIS community could not be prouder of every single child who took part. This will be a production we all remember for years to come. Acknowledgements Of course, none of this would have been possible without the incredible behind-the-scenes teamwork and external support of more people than I can individually mention by name. A heartfelt thank you goes to our fantastic team here at AWIS, from face painting and costume creation, to props and set design, scene transitions. Managing music cues, calming nerves, creating smiles and helping coordinate every moment backstage took a true village effort, and I’m so grateful and proud of what we accomplished together. We must also thank our wonderful parents who, over many months, through their full support behing theproduction and their amazingly talented children. Our generous sponsors also deserve our thanks for their vital support which made the production possible: Gold Sponsors: Snoonu, and Manweir WLL (Mr. Neil Angus) Silver Sponsors: BrandX, and Strong Rent-A-Car Bronze Sponsors: The Karanfil Family Venue: Shaza Hotel Doha But perhaps most important of all: Congratulations to the cast of Alice the Musical 2025!

Requirements Schools in Qatar are regulated by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, who impose certain rules on all schools regarding student admissions and the data that must be collected and shared with them. ADMISSIONS Requirements Application Process Assessment School Fees Paperwork and other requirements to join AWIS Applying to AWIS At the time of application, all we require is the completed online Expression of Interest Form . This gives us sufficient information to begin the application process. Your child's details and contact information are entered in to our admissions system, and with this we can commence the application process . New to Qatar At the time of application, we try to be as flexible as possible with parents. This is especially true of parents who are still planning their move to Qatar, or have only recently arrived. We do take in to accounts people's special circumstances, and are happy to advise on securing a school place. Feel free to contact us if you have concerns. We are often able to assess and make a firm offer of a school place, even if your child then has to wait for all the required paperwork (see below) before they can start school. Starting At AWIS Prior to your child starting, we require that you complete our Application Form in full and provide us with all the required documents (see below). The Application Form (see download button below) provides us with some important additional information, including details of all parents / guardians, health records, and whether they can appear on social media. Please ensure you sign the completed Application Form and submit it to the School Office, together with all the required supporting documents. Required Documents We are required by the authorities in Qatar to have copies of all the following documents on file, before your child starts: Student's Qatar ID - see note 1 below Student's passport Qatar ID's for both parents Student's birth certificate Student's immunisation record Letter of employment from student's sponsor's workplace Most recent school report - see note 2 below Medical report - Foundation Stage and Year 1 students only Fully completed and signed Application Form Note 1: Valid Qatar ID Required Parents new to Qatar should be aware that it is against Ministry regulations for any school to register a student who does not have a valid Qatar ID. You need to allow time from arriving in the country for the father (normally the father, but could be the wife) to complete residency proceedings before he can begin the process of applying for residency for the rest of the family. This can take a considerable amount of time, during which the children are unable to attend school. If you are moving to Qatar, we recommend you take advice from your employer about timescales, as the length of time taken to complete residency for the whole family varies substantially depending upon circumstances. Note 2: Attestation of School Reports There is a Ministry requirement for students joining us in Year 2 or above, and transferring from outside Qatar (rather than transferring schools within the country), to supply the latest report from their previous school. This has to be attested (ie stamped) by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Qatar Embassy in the country you are coming from, then attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar.
