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. |
