Meet the Team

I grew up in East London in England. I also attended an International boarding school in Nigeria and spent a year as an exchange student at the American University of Cairo, Egypt.

I graduated from the University of East London in 2001 with a BA (Hons) in Third World Studies and Information Technology. In 2010, I obtained another BA (Hons) Social Work from Open University at Havering College of Further and Higher Education.

I have seven years of experience as a Child Protection Social Worker, working with children and their primary caregivers in supporting the children to achieve their full potential physically, socially, emotionally and mentally.

Here at Oryx International School, I would like to assist the children to achieve their full potential.

As a family we enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures and meeting people.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and worked at Doha Clinic Hospital as a Staff Nurse before joining Oryx International School as the school nurse.

What I would like to achieve at Oryx International School is to create a continuously healthy and safe learning environment where students are protected from physical and emotional harm.

My hobbies, sport and interests include volleyball, swimming, cooking, travelling and child care.

If you contact us via email, we will answer you within 24 hours during the working week.

I’m originally from the Midlands in the UK but moved to Cheshire in 2012 after completion of my University course.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Criminology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology.

After university I worked with vulnerable adults in the community, supporting them to live independently. I then worked for a counselling charity which supported bereaved individuals and families. In 2018, I started working at an agricultural college in Cheshire as a Wellbeing Advisor and Counsellor to the students and staff.

My mission at Oryx is to embed wellbeing into the culture here and to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.

In my spare time I enjoy being active, learning new things, listening to audiobooks and spending time with my husband and daughter. We love travelling and exploring but I also appreciate opportunities for rest and relaxation.

I am pleased to introduce myself as the new school nurse at Oryx International School. My name is Savithamol Antony, and I have been residing in Qatar with my husband for nearly seven years.

I began my nursing career 12 years ago after graduating from Canossa College of Nursing, Kannur University in Kerala, India. My experience includes working in various medical settings in India, such as the Co-Operative Hospital Thalassery, and roles in the operating room, labor room, pediatric ICU, CCU, and OP. Prior to joining Oryx International School, I served as a Registered General Nurse at Atlas Medical Center, Al Esraa Medical Center, and Little Leaders Nursery.

I joined Oryx International School in August 2024 and am honored to be part of this caring community. My goal is to ensure our children are healthy, safe, and ready to learn. Communication is essential, so please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you for the warm welcome and for trusting me with the care of your children.

I was born in Qatar and completed my studies in the Philippines, where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree with a major in Travel Management from Our Lady of Fatima University. After graduating, I decided to move back to Qatar to be closer to my family.

Before joining Oryx, I worked in various positions across several companies, including a role as a customer service agent at the Qatar Airways Contact Centre. This diverse experience has equipped me with a broad skill set and the confidence to contribute effectively to any team.

My interests include cooking, listening music, and cultural exploration through travel.

Working with Oryx presents a valuable opportunity for me to further develop my skills and knowledge. Our staffs with unique backgrounds and life experiences, which will undoubtedly enhance my professional journey.

I was born in 1975 in Mandaluyong City, Philippines, and relocated to Dasmariñas, Cavite, in 1985. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from De La Salle University - Aguinaldo in 1996 and passed the Professional Licensure Exam in the same year.

Since 1996, I have been practicing nursing until I moved to Doha, Qatar, in October 2002. Over the past 22 years, I have worked in various healthcare facilities in Doha. My career began as an OPD nurse at Alshefa Polyclinic, where I worked for over two years. I have also held positions at American Hospital, Al Ahli Hospital, and Magrabi Eye, Dental, and ENT Center in different roles, including OPD nurse, medical-surgical nurse, and OR nurse. In 2010, I transitioned to the role of School Nurse at Qatar Canadian School for one academic year, followed by a 13-year tenure at Qatar Academy Al Wakra. Working in such a diverse community has been a rewarding experience, and nursing continues to be my passion, particularly in caring for others. I’ve always lived by the motto, "Serving people is like serving God," which is why I put my heart into every aspect of my work.

My primary goal is to continue providing holistic care and exceptional healthcare services to our students and staff. I look forward to collaborating with my fellow nurses, teachers, and parents.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing volleyball, table tennis, and swimming. My two children share my passion for volleyball and are both varsity players at their school. Our family loves to travel, explore beautiful places especially in Philippines, and spend quality time together.
