Mr. McArtney supported our very first Young Innovators Team to compete in a national competition held by QEERI (Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute).
This was a small team of ambitious Year 6 students at Madinat Khalifa who were keen on making significant progress towards the UNICEF Sustainable Development Goals.
The project was to create a video which showed the teams research and innovation skills. This took them around Doha over the last five weeks to different institutes and locations with the tremendous help and involvement of their parents. They have learned an awful lot about how Qatar produces its drinking and washing water, and how vital it is to use water in moderation to save energy and pollution.
If successful, the team will be invited to show their video at the "Conference on Sustainable Energy-Water-Environment Nexus" in December.
Please join us in congratulating this wonderful group of students and wishing them good for the competition.
Here is their video:
The blog highlights the transformative power of physical activity, emphasizing how it boosts energy, focus, and mental well-being. At Compass International School, promoting an active lifestyle is integral to fostering both physical and emotional health, which in turn enhances students' academic performance. The new initiative, Kickstart Kilometre, invites the school community to walk or jog together every Thursday morning, kickstarting their day with positive energy and improved focus. This approach aims to inspire a balanced lifestyle that helps manage stress and supports overall success in both academics and life.
