Qatar Leadership Academy (QLA) has held a virtual ceremony to honour the accomplishments of its 14 graduates, bringing together students, parents and teachers as well as representatives from Qatar Foundation (QF) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
Abdulaziz Mohamed al-Hashmi, this year’s recipient of the Academic Excellence Award and valedictorian, said: “I want to thank Qatar Leadership Academy, its administration and all its employees for their efforts in teaching me and helping me grow as a leader over the last six years – from 2016 until now. Thanks go to Allah first, and then to the leaders of the school, especially the educational staff. Also, I am grateful for the academic and leadership programmes offered by QLA, which distinguish the school from any other academies in the region.”
The ceremony witnessed the distribution of the Leadership Excellence Award, which went to Abdulrahman Mohamed al-Hashemi, with 98%. The award recognises the commitment of cadets, especially in the fields of fitness, leadership and manners – QLA’s overarching goals.
Speaking to the graduates, Jameel K al-Shammari, director of QLA, said: “I would like to recognise the heroes of tonight. Dear graduates, this day is the culmination of many years of hard work – you should stand proud in this moment.
“To the fathers of our graduates, to their mothers, to their families: congratulations. Your children have graduated, and you are blessed with a well-deserved joy that you have patiently waited for. As parents, you were the vital support to your children. You supported them unconditionally and endured with them to the end. This success is equally yours as it is theirs.”
Al-Shammari also thanked the country’s leadership, QF, the MoD and local partners within the community for helping QLA reach its goals.
The virtual ceremony featured a video with highlights of the students, including programmes they had participated in, their studies and boarding school life.
