Making the Most of School Breaks
 
School holidays are always a welcome relief for both primary and secondary students. No more early mornings or strict timetables—just the freedom to do things differently than on regular school days. But as the saying goes, “time is gold.” That’s why parents and older siblings play an important role in guiding younger family members to use their break wisely and meaningfully.

One great way to spend the holidays is by travelling—either within the country or abroad. The main purpose of school breaks is to give students (and especially teachers) a chance to rest and recharge after weeks of hard work. Taking time off to travel with family can offer a change of scenery and much-needed relaxation. For students facing major exams, it’s a healthy distraction from academic stress. Whether it’s swimming at the beach or hiking to a waterfall, a short getaway can do wonders. For younger children, trips to museums, science centres or zoos can be both fun and educational. With proper planning, families can enjoy quality time together without breaking the bank.

Another meaningful way to spend school breaks is by helping out at home. These days, many parents work full-time jobs and often come home too tired to tackle house chores. This is where children can step up—helping with simple tasks like mopping the floor, wiping windows and fans, or folding laundry. It’s a small way of saying thank you for their parents’ sacrifices. Admittedly, it’s not always easy to get children to put their phones down, but home is the first place where responsibility and independence are taught. As the saying goes, “little by little, a hill becomes a mountain.” Start small, and over time, these efforts will make a big difference.

School breaks also offer opportunities for personal growth. Students can join motivational camps, religious programs, or even community service projects. These experiences not only build character but also shape them into well-rounded individuals.

In short, school breaks don’t have to go to waste. With a little guidance and planning, students can enjoy their holidays while also gaining something valuable from the time off.
