Doha British School Ain Khaled are pleased to celebrate receiving the Eco-Schools’ ‘Green Flag’ award from the Earthna Centre for a Sustainable Future. Earthna is an organisation which represents the largest global sustainable school programme in Qatar.

 

It is an honour to be awarded the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award as it is internationally recognised and demonstrates an appreciation of the school’s commitment to both becoming more sustainable and educating its students about sustainability.  The student-led committee has helped facilitate events and opportunities that explore solutions to environmental challenges.
