Making the most of a vacation
- Keep up the reading habit: a few pages every day, in English and in Bengali or Hindi.
- Finish any holiday work set by the class teacher a little at a time, not all at the end.
- Leave plenty of time for play, hobbies and family.
- Return to the usual bedtime and morning routine a few days before school reopens.
Dates for the current session. The opening and closing dates of each vacation are announced by the school office. If you are planning travel, please call the office to confirm the dates first.
