Greetings from Balsam family!

Dear Parents,
Greetings from Balsam family!
The much-awaited summer vacation is knocking at the door! The very thoughts of summer vacation include images of time for relaxation to escape the heat, pursuing of leisure activities and indulging in good quality time with friends and family. There are plenty of productive ways that our children can spend the vacation which can be fun, relaxing and helpful for their education or life.
We wish to imbibe in our students the willingness to spend their summer vacation well; making optimum utilisation of time, following their heart’s passion and at the same time enhancing their academic knowledge.
Some suggestions in this regard-
Let them EXPLORE and participate in the Wonder that is Nature. A walk on the road of a hill station does no harm, but let your child explore the wilderness and discover fauna and flora of the place you visit during the vacation. Let them fill with wonder for God’s bounties bestowed on us.
Let them DISCOVER different cultures, traditions, cuisines, local crafts, etc. of places that you visit during the vacation. Make them note down fine details. It will become a cherished document a few years down the line.
Expand Knowledge: Take advantage of your down time to open your mind to new knowledge and experiences. Encourage them to pursue new hobbies, play games, learn to play an instrument, try his/her hands at writing poetry or a blog, pick up some culinary skills, read newspapers and magazines to keep abreast with current happenings.
Reading Makes a Full Man: Make a list of books for them and give them plenty of reading for the summer.
Get them to spend some quality time with the extended family. Tell them the importance of relationships in life.
Let them chalk out a timetable for their daily routine. Assist them and teach them to prioritise. Counsel them to devote some time to studies as well.
The School has devised Holiday Homework that is linked to the curriculum and is also creative. Do monitor the progress of our children in completing the tasks given in various disciplines. The School remains closed from 22.4.17 and shall reopen on 1 June 2017.
We wish all our families a very rejuvenating vacation and seeking your cooperation in all our endeavours as always.
Thank you,
TEAM BALSAM
