HOLIDAY HOMEWORK (2024-2025) STD X

Dear Parents,
We hope that you and your families are in the best of health and spirits!
It’s time again for a summer break, a perfect opportunity for your ward to relax, rejuvenate, and pursue
hobbies while also exploring new ideas and honing skills. An enriching holiday homework has been
devised to engage all students through project presentations and worksheets that blend content with
creativity, maintaining the learning continuum across subjects. Please ensure that your ward submits
the holiday homework by July 1 th, 2024. We appreciate original and creative work by the students
which is taken up with eco-friendly materials, entails minimal cost and is completed with the least
parental or professional help.
The research-based projects are to be completed during the summer vacations and should be done in
A4-size albums. The projects will be assessed in the internal assessments for the First Term.
The 2024 Holiday Homework theme, 'Embracing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for a
Sustainable Future', encourages students to explore cultural diversity and promote inclusivity
alongside sustainable practices. This aligns with the Std. X sub-theme 'Sustainable Cities &
Communities', which focuses on creating resilient, inclusive urban environments with affordable
housing, efficient public transport, and green spaces.
Below mentioned is the class-wise division of project work.
