SESSION: 2023-2024
 PREFACE

“Summer Vacations provide us with a welcome creative relief that breaks the monotony of a
tedious routine.”

Truly quoted. It is undoubtedly the time when we alter our regular routine to indulge in something
that spices up our interests and changes the standardized course of life. The commencement of
summer holidays from 15 May, 2023 to 30 June, 2023 is a rejuvenating time period for the
students to relax and renew themselves. It is a phase when we are in a reset mode, enjoy Me
Time, work upon ourselves, connect to our families and friends, and pamper ourselves with the
goodness of both food and memorable moments. These memorial deposits recharge every
individual and we can return to the regular course with fresh energy, pristine vigour and futuristic
planning to make ourselves better and more productive in days to come.

In view of this ideology, a series of questions have been framed so that the students can easily
balance between fun and academics at the same time. Apart from enjoying the desirable period,
the students can decipher assignments and be connected to the academics, honing their skills in
the areas of thinking, speaking, listening and writing. These exercises aim at increasing their
confidence in the area of academics as well as boost up their performance spirit.

The school will reopen for students on Monday, 3 July, 2023 and they will submit Holiday
Homework to their respective subject teachers by Friday, 7 July 2023.

With an expectation of everyone enjoying themselves and brushing themselves to their

responsibilities of building good health, culturing strong connecting values with near and dear
ones and rejuvenating themselves, let these times be moments of joy, laughter and connectivity.
