Dear Students,
The holiday homework has been thoughtfully planned to suit the short summer
break and is aligned with the syllabus for the periodic tests scheduled soon after
school reopens. It aims to help students revise key concepts and stay prepared.
We encourage students to balance rest with regular study during the break to
make a strong start when they return.
