７月になりました。例年なら今頃は、期末考査も終わってほっと一息ついているところですが、今年はコロナの影響で、来週から期末考査になります。１学期は休校も続き、その間、課題学習や、教科によってはオンライン学習もありました。どのくらい学習が定着しているか、授業で学んだことがどのくらい理解できているかを測る試験です。東雲で初めての考査の人もいると思います。十分試験勉強をして臨んでください。
毎年、夏に繰り広げられる甲子園大会をはじめとする体育部、文化部等の様々な大会や行事が自粛や中止になっているのは大変残念ですが、代替試合やコンクールなども計画されているようです。９月になると東雲生が熱くなる体育祭や文化祭クローバーデーがあります。本県においてコロナの状況が今と変わらず収束に向かうことを願い、感染防止を第一に考え、いろいろなアイデアを出し合いながら準備を進めていただいたらと思います。その行事の企画・運営を行う生徒会の新役員も決まりました。先日、生徒総会が開催され、私も見学させてもらいました。東雲でのスクールライフを、快適に、楽しく、有意義なものにするためのアイデアを事前に調査し、その中から５つの要望が総会に提出されました。学校の主役はなんと言っても皆さん生徒一人ひとりです。皆さんのために学校ではいろいろなルールが決められていますが、社会や時代の変化の中で、よりよいものにする必要があります。そのためにも、皆さんが考えていることを発表して欲しいのです。それはＨＲ活動や授業中でも同じです。ジレット校長先生の時代に、皆さんの大先輩は、考査における「無監督試験」の実施を生徒総会で提案し、それを職員会で取り上げて欲しいと願い出たようです。そして学校は生徒の要望に応えたと記録にあります。その後どうなったと思いますか、本校所蔵の「東雲学園百年誌」で調べてみてください。
さて、水害が心配な季節が巡ってきました。今年度はコロナの対応でこれまでとは違う生活の中で、例えばいつもマスクをすることや三密回避など、感染防止には気をつけていると思いますが、果たして防災についてはどうでしょうか。起こったらどこに避難しようとか、自分の家の近くの避難場所を確認したりしていますか？そのために便利なものがハザードマップです。ハザードマップにより、自分が住んでいる地域にどんな災害のリスクがあるかを知ることができます。一度必ず確認をしてみてください。

It's July now. If it were an average year, we would be breathing a sigh of relief as the final exams ended. This year, due to the influence of corona we have to start our term-end exams next week. During the first term, we had quite a few days when the school was closed. Then, there were both assignment learning and online learning, depending on the subject. So the exams are to measure how well you have learned. It may be the first time for some of you to take examinations at Shinonome. Please study enough for the exams.
It is very disappointing that various competitions and events that are held every year, such as the Koshien high school baseball tournament held every summer, have been voluntarily canceled. To our joy, alternative games and competitions seem to be being planned. In September, Shinonome will hold our athletic meet and our cultural festival, Clover day, which we can look forward to. Hoping that the corona infection in our prefecture will continue to decline as it is today, we would like infection prevention to come first, and I hope that you will come up with various ideas as you prepare for these events. The new student council members who plan and organize the events have been selected.
The other day, the student council held a general meeting and I was able to attend to see it. They had in advance researched ideas for making their school life comfortable, fun and meaningful. Five of those requests were submitted to the general meeting. However, each and every one of you plays a leading role in the school. There are many rules in school for you, but we need to make them better to match the changing society and times. To that end, I would like you to present what you are thinking about. That goes for homeroom activities and classes. In the days of Principal Gillette, your seniors suggested the idea of an "unsupervised exam" at a student meeting and asked for it to be taken up at a teachers' meeting. And the school responded to the students' request at last, according to the record. What do you think happened after that? Please check out "Shinonome Gakuen Centennial" in our school.
Now, the season for worrying about flooding has come around. This school year, you are taking care to prevent infections, such as always wearing a mask and avoiding densely populated areas in your life different from before in response to Corona, but what about other natural disaster prevention? Do you know where to take shelter if it happens? Have you checked where you would evacuate to if it happened, or have you checked the evacuation sites near your house? A useful tool for this purpose is a hazard map. Hazard maps allow you to find out what kind of disaster risks there are in your area. Be sure to check them at least once.
