The Inter-School Scrabble Tournament hosted by Stafford Sri Lankan School Doha (SSLSD) concluded on a successful note this year as well. It was held on 5th February in celebration of Qatar Sports Day.
Students from 5 schools participated in the tournament: Philippines International, DPS-MIS, American School, QIS and Birla Public School competed against one another in order to test their mettle with words.

Accordingly Birla Public School emerged 2nd Runner-Up, Philippines International became 1st Runner-Up, and host school Stafford International School Doha bagged the champion’s trophy.
