ACTIVE LEARNING PLAN FOR SUMMER

VACATION
Summer is a time for freedom, adventure, and growth. It's the season
where the Sun Shines Bright, and SO CAN YOU."

As the warm days of summer stretch out before us, it's the perfect time for you to embark on new
adventures and make the most of every moment. This summer blends the joy of relaxation with
the thrill of learning, creating a summer filled with substance and creativity.
You are green champions !

We are sure you are already aware of our effort to make our surrounding plastic 🛍🍫 🗑free.
Our aim is to collect one tonne of plastic waste🗑 that can be recycled and not end up
polluting our water bodies and environment . We truly appreciate all your
contribution. Thanks to you, we are halfway there. We have another 500Kg to go ♀ .

However, the summer break should not hamper our efforts to save our planet. The plastic
bank🗑 will be put at the Gate number 2 during the summer break. Delfite students and
parents are welcome to deposit plastic waste there so that our endeavour to revive our planet
doesn't take a break while we enjoy ours.

A Season for Growth

Summer holidays are a much-anticipated break for students, offering a chance to relax, explore
new interests, and create lasting memories. It’s time to embrace the warmth, freedom, and

are excited to offer you a summer filled with exploration, discovery, and fun learning
experiences. Our goal with this plan is to keep your mind engaged and active while you enjoy
