NAISAK Sixth Form Graduation 2025: A Celebration of Excellence, Legacy, and New Beginnings

The NAISAK Sixth Form Graduation Ceremony 2025 was a truly heartfelt and unforgettable event, marking the culmination of two years of academic excellence, resilience, and personal growth. Held at the school campus in Al Khor, Qatar, the ceremony honored the remarkable achievements of the Class of 2025, bringing together students, families, staff, and alumni for a powerful celebration.

The evening began with a warm welcome from Master of Ceremonies Mr. Joseph Souassou, setting the tone for a night filled with pride, gratitude, and celebration. Inspirational speeches from Principal Mr. Jamie Hughes, Head of Secondary Mr. Kevin Ferry, and student representatives Ameena Yasser Mohammed (Year 12) and Isabel Mathews (Year 13) reflected on the journey of Sixth Form life—filled with challenges, growth, leadership, and a close-knit school community.

Students were celebrated not only for their academic achievements but also for their creativity, resilience, and contributions to school life. From school trips and charity events to late-night study sessions, memories were shared that brought both laughter and tears. The graduation ceremony featured a touching musical performance by graduates Rishi Raju (violin) and Juando Deo Keitaro Simarmata (keyboard), followed by diploma presentations and special awards recognizing excellence in a range of subjects.

Among the many voices celebrating the graduates, Abdulla Mohammed Al Kuwari, a proud member of the Class of 2025, shared:
“The graduation ceremony was lovely and very organized. I feel very excited and happy because it’s my graduation, obviously, and I was happy to have my parents there. I had people that I know around me to celebrate with. I’m looking forward to college as the next step now!”

Adding a deeper layer of sentiment was Abdulla’s aunt, Latifa Kulaib Al Kuwari, a NAISAK alumna, who reflected on the family’s lasting connection to the school:
“I am very proud of Abdulla on his graduation day, especially him graduating from this school, as this is my alma mater. I have a lot of memories here at NAISAK, and it’s so good to be back. It warms my heart to know he had similar experiences in these halls as I did. Thank you to all the NAISAK teachers and staff for supporting him and leaving a lasting mark.”

The ceremony was also a meaningful milestone for families who have recently joined the NAISAK community. Gabriella Saade’s mother shared:
“I want to thank the NAISAK team for all the support, especially since we moved to Qatar three years ago. It was hard at first, but the team made us feel at home. The graduation ceremony was so cool, and we’re proud of Gabby. I wish all the kids the best!”

After the formal proceedings, the celebration continued with a vibrant reception and countless photo opportunities. Laughter, hugs, and farewells filled the evening as students prepared for the next stage of their lives—university, careers, and personal adventures.

The festivities concluded with the final Graduation Dinner at the Dusit Hotel Doha, where students and teachers gathered in an elegant setting to share a dinner with some comic awards, exchange gifts, and relive memorable moments. A nostalgic photo slideshow highlighted friendships and defining experiences that shaped the Class of 2025.

As the evening drew to a close, a powerful sense of both accomplishment and anticipation filled the air. While the graduation marked the end of one chapter, it also symbolized the beginning of bold new journeys. These future leaders are stepping forward with confidence, prepared for success thanks to the strong academic and personal foundation built at NAISAK.

Congratulations to the NAISAK Class of 2025—your journey is just beginning, and your future is incredibly bright.
