Opening the ceremony, Doha College senior vice principal and head of secondary Paul Young stated: "Doha College students perform outstandingly well in examinations at GCSE and A Level. Our students perform well for many reasons, they don't just have the ability to do well, they work very hard in an inspiring environment, and they are well supported by our experienced staff and very supportive parents. This educational triangle of student, staff and parents is the key to unlocking bright futures."

Doha College principal Steffen Sommer added: "I am very proud of our students and their continued passion and commitment to their learning and development. Our students have established a wonderful platform to build upon as they study for their A-levels and we wish them every success."
