Our goal is to inspire and cultivate the artistic and sporting abilities of our students through music, drama, dance, and competitive sports. At RGSGQ, we believe that fostering these abilities will contribute to our students becoming well-rounded and confident individuals, ready to face future challenges in life.
We are fortunate to have outstanding music and sports facilities at RGS, including spacious areas for practice and performance. Our amenities feature dedicated Music Rooms, an Art Room, a Sports Hall, a large all-weather sports pitch, an athletics track, undercover basketball courts, and an impressive 5-lane, 25-meter outdoor swimming pool.
Music
Specialist Music teaching is available to all primary students as part of our broad and balanced curriculum. Music is a vibrant part of school life, and all primary students receive specialist music education, with a range of practical and theoretical lessons available. Students have the opportunity to study various instruments and different styles of music.
Additionally, music clubs are offered to all primary and secondary students and one-one-one learning is also available.
Arts
Students enjoy creative art lessons in our dedicated art room and their handiwork can be seen adorning the school walls and noticeboards. Displaying and celebrating our students’ work is essential for building confidence and developing a sense of pride and competition. We offer exam classes and art as part of our extracurricular activities.
PE
At RGS Qatar, our Physical Education (PE) program is designed to support the comprehensive development of our students through a variety of engaging and skill-building activities.
From EYFS through to Year 6, students participate in one PE lesson per week. These sessions focus on fundamental skills and foster a positive attitude towards physical activity. As students’ progress into secondary school, they enjoy two PE lessons per week, which help them further develop their skills and knowledge across a range of sports.
In Years 10 and 11, our GCSE students benefit from an increased frequency of three PE lessons per week. This enhanced schedule is tailored to support their intensive coursework and practical assessments, providing them with the opportunity to refine their abilities and excel in their physical education.
Our students also engage in key local tournaments, including the QPPSSA, QUESS, and the Qatar School Olympic Program. In addition, our robust extracurricular program includes try-outs for school teams and extra training sessions on weekends and early mornings for exceptionally talented athletes.
At RGS Qatar, we always explore international tournament opportunities, both within Doha and beyond, to give our students a wider competitive experience and help them reach their full potential.
