By offering IELTS registration on-site, PISQ is streamlining the application process for its students and the wider community seeking educational opportunities abroad.

The signing ceremony, held at the British Council center in Al Sadd, Doha, was a momentous occasion. Mr. Jason Iyas, Principal of PISQ, and Dr. Waseem Kotoub, Country Director of the British Council, solidified the partnership through their signatures. The presence of key personnel from both institutions, including Mr. Nimrod Dsilva, Mr. Vishal Soraisam, Mr. Mohammed Hammamy, Ms. Charinette Carreon, and Ms. Rachel Babiano, underscored the importance of this collaboration.

Further solidifying their dedication to providing exceptional service, PISQ staff actively participated in a comprehensive IELTS Registration Portal System training session held by the British Council on March 17th. This training equips PISQ to flawlessly manage the registration process, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for all test-takers.

With this strategic partnership, PISQ reaffirms its position as a leader in providing quality education and internationally recognized qualifications in Qatar. The addition of IELTS registration services demonstrates the school’s commitment to empowering its students to achieve their academic aspirations on a global stage.

The spirit of collaboration transcended the screenings themselves. MOPH and PISQ representatives worked diligently to document the event, highlighting the importance of partnerships in fostering a culture of health and wellness within schools.

Positive Feedback Reinforces Importance

Feedback from participants overwhelmingly indicated the campaign’s success, underscoring the value of health awareness and preventive care programs in school settings. Faculty and staff received certificates of participation in recognition of their proactive approach to personal well-being, along with gifts and tokens of appreciation from the MOPH.

Mutual Appreciation Caps Successful Partnership

In a heartwarming gesture, MOPH staff members were presented with certificates of appreciation by PISQ, solidifying the mutual respect and admiration between the two entities.

By Ms. Phides Fay B. Cuntapay & Ms. Nicolle Ann Louise F. Rodas

Preschool field trips are not just a break from routine; they are an opportunity for young minds to explore, discover, and learn in a hands-on environment. Recently, our preschoolers embarked on an exciting journey of imagination and education at Kidzania Doha, a miniature city designed for children to experience real-world activities in a playful setting. Activities range from��Doctor, Dentist,��and Police Officer to Firefighter, Actor, and ��Singer.

The enriching experiences that our preschoolers had during the field trip last December 14 and 21 at Kidzania Doha were full of excitement and laughter. It was a testament to the valuable experiences and learning opportunities.��

The fantastic field trip provided the children with a chance to explore beyond their classroom walls and engage in hands-on learning experiences. The immersive exploration and variety of activities helped enhance the children’s skills related to financial literacy, creativity, imagination, innovation, problem-solving, and decision-making.

Many of our Preschoolers fully embraced the experience and reacted to have that day the best. Indeed, this fantastic field trip created lasting memories for our little learners.
