Holiday Homework for Summer Vacation (2023-2024)
Class – XI

SCIENCE STREAM

Happy Holidays!
Dear Parents
Let’s experience an amalgamation of pleasure and learning during this vacation spree.

Summer vacation comes as a welcome respite from the rigorous study schedule. It’s
time to energize and enthuse your mind, creatively by engaging in scholastic and co-
scholastic activities. Keeping the zeal alive, we, at SVIS, have designed interesting
projects for our young learners that will help them to chisel their potential further.
As parents, let’s spur them on and facilitate learning through travel, activities and
engaging discussions at home. Your unsolicited support has never let us down. Let’s
herald a major shift in understanding the concept of homework and make it enjoyable
for the children.

Unit Test-2 for Class XI will commence from July 17, 2023. The date-sheet
and syllabus for the same has already been given and is also available on the
school website.

WISH YOU A HAPPY VACATION!
