<div> さて、去る3月1日にはコロナウイルスの影響で規模は縮小しましたが、東雲らしい厳かな卒業式を行うことができました。式辞で私が話したのは、次の通りです。卒業生を待ち受けている社会は、大変厳しい状況にある。社会環境の複雑性が増し、次々と想定外の事が起こり、将来の予測が困難になってきている。中でも、夏の豪雨災害、冬の大雪など地球温暖化に伴う気候変動や、全人類が今格闘しているコロナ・パンデミックなどは由々しき難題である。しかし、これらに遭遇することで、災害対策はどうあるべきかを考えたり、社会を歪ませているさまざまな問題に気づいたりすることができた。同時に、人と人とのつながりの大切さや、日常のかけがえのなさなども切実に感じさせられた。これから遭遇する問題にはすぐに正解は得られないかもしれないが、やるべきことは、デジタル化が進む社会の中で情報活用能力を高めること。そして、様々な人々と出会い、交流し、見聞を広め、体験を豊かにすること。受身的な学びではなく、自分の目で確かめ、自分の頭で考え、判断すること。そういう本物の学びの経験を積み重ねていけば、自分の中に揺るぎない確固たる生き方を持つことができ、困難を乗り越えることができるということ。また、女性であるということだけで、頑張っても報われない男性優位の誤ったジェンダー意識と遭遇することがあるかもしれないがその時こそ、「高遠なる理想」「敬虔なる信仰」「真摯なる努力」「清純なる愛情」「私心なき奉仕」の校訓の下、女子校で培った心のしなやかさや共感力を土台にして、勇気を持って立ち向かってほしい。そのことが必ずや日本を、そして世界を変える原動力にもなるということ。そして、式辞の終わりに、ジョンレノンのimagneの歌詞の一節を朗読しました。人生は1回限りであり、その人生に豊かに広がりをもたらしてくれるのは、自分の目に見えないものや実際には経験できないことを想像する力を持つことで、見知らぬ誰かの喜びや感動、悲しみや苦しみを想像して共感し、行動を起こしてほしいとエールを送りました。</div>

Here comes the time of the year when we have a pattern of three cold days and four warm days each week. We feel as if we were hearing the prelude of a farewell song coming out of nowhere. Rape blossoms and plum blossoms are now in full bloom, and we can hear the tidings of cherry blossoms to come. I think you are all sighing a breath of relief now that you have finished the end-of-year examinations. I hope you will spend the last two weeks of the school year and the spring break as a time to strengthen your weak points in your studies and prepare for a good start to the new school year.
On March 1, we were able to hold a dignified graduation ceremony, although the scale was reduced due to the coronavirus. What I said in my speech was as follows: The society that awaits our graduates is in a very difficult situation. The social environment is getting complex, unexpected events are occurring one after another, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to predict the future. Among the changes, climate changes caused by global warming, such as torrential rains in summer and heavy snowfalls in winter, and the corona pandemic that all of humanity is now struggling with, are all serious challenges. However, through these experiences, we have been able to think about what disaster countermeasures should be and have realized what the various problems that are distorting our society are. At the same time, it has made me realize the importance of human relationships and how precious everyday life is. You may not be able to find the right answers to the problems you will encounter in the future, but what you need to do is to improve your skill to use information in an increasingly digital society. You also need to meet and interact with a variety of people, broaden your perspectives, and enrich your experiences. If you have such genuine learning experiences, you will be able to have an unshakable and solid way of life and overcome many difficulties. Also, just because you are a woman, you may encounter a male-dominated and false sense of gender that does not reward you for your efforts. I want you to stand up to it with courage based on the flexibility and empathy of the heart cultivated at our girls' school under the school mottoes of "High Ideals," "Pious Faith," "Earnest Effort," "Pure Love," and "Selfless Service." These will surely become the driving force to change Japan and the world. At the end of my speech, I recited a verse from John Lennon's "Imagine." The time we have in life is limited to a single moment, and what makes it rich and expansive is the ability to imagine what we cannot see or experience before our eyes and imagine and share the joy, emotion, sadness, and suffering of someone we do not know. I sent the graduates off with a yell to take action.
Thank you very much for reading "Principal's Letter" every month this year. I will publish another issue at the end of March, so please take a look.

So, be serious about everything in this term.

It has been almost two years since we were hit by the corona disaster. Even now, the spread of infection is continuing due to the Omicron strain and we have to remain vigilant. We need to take preventive measures as always, such as washing hands, wearing masks, and avoiding the 3-dense environments. If you wake up in the morning and have a fever or do not feel well, do not overdo it; take a day off from school and seek medical attention. If someone else in your family is sick, do not come to school. Although it is cold in the school, please ventilate rooms regularly and make sure to eat quietly at lunchtime. Let's all do our best to get through this pinch.
Last Saturday, one of our traditional junior high school events, the "Spring Festival," was held in the chapel, where students presented the results of their year-long learning activities in public. It was a wonderful festival with a rich variety of presentations and performances. The first part started with a Koto (Japanese harp) performance, followed by presentations on the work experience and a "Dogo Tour" using video projection, and also a performance by the dance club. In the second part, we enjoyed the film performances by the drama club and the brass band club, and an original English drama by the 3rd year students. This was based on the theme of the SDGs and was even better than usual, and had subtitles on the screen. At the same time, there was an exhibition of wagashi (Japanese sweets), small boxes, and artwork made of clay by the first year students. The second year students displayed ikebana, Tobe painted pottery and the art club members displayed other works. The third year students presented haiku poems, handmade picture books, and a report on the water quality survey in Jonofuchi Park. Throughout the entire event, we were impressed by the unity of the junior high school students. I would like to thank all the students for their hard work and preparation, over many Saturday School days.
By the way, do you know Shohei Ohtani, who won the MVP of the American Major League Baseball last year? Even those who don't pay much attention to baseball must know that he achieved greatness by being both a good pitcher (throwing) and batter (hitting). He is loved not only by baseball fans in Japan and the U.S., but by other teams as well. That's not just to mention his baseball skills, but he's someone we can respect as a person. His casual attitude and proper behavior, such as picking up trash at the ballpark, the expression he shows to the umpire, and the way he takes care of his equipment. Even when he hits a home run or becomes the winning pitcher, he doesn't get carried away; he calmly sets his sights on the next goal and takes on the challenge in a humble and positive manner. It is wonderful to see that with his appearance, the value of humanity is being reevaluated beyond his great achievements in baseball. Do you remember the educational goal of our school? It is "to nurture women who acquire dignity and integrity and can live flexibly." I hope that every one of you can learn something from Ohtani's character.
As the saying goes, "January is the month to go, February is the month to run, and March is the month to leave." January goes quickly, February runs away, and March goes away. There are only a few days left in the school year. The term-end exams will be announced soon. I hope that each of you will study diligently to prepare for them. For the third year student, please do what you need to do before you graduate.
All's well that ends well. So, be serious about everything left in this term.

Thank you.

Happy New Year to you all. I hope you all had a meaningful winter vacation. As it is said that "The whole year's plans should be made on New Year's Day," have you set your goals for the new year? The 4th year of Reiwa, or the year 2022, has just begun. Last year, the Chinese character representing last year's social situation in Japan was "gold". The reason seems to be success in sports and games; Japanese athletes won many gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, and Sota Fujii, a shogi player, achieved the youngest four crowns. I hope that Corona will blow over and that this year will be as brilliant as "gold," too.
Well, the corona infection situation had calmed down through the end of last year, but now that the New Year has started, people have suddenly started to be infected in our prefecture, and we are worried that the number of people who are positive for the Omicron strain will increase. The Omicron strain is said to be three or four times more infectious than the Delta strain, so we need to take more preventive measures than ever to avoid infection. First of all, when you wake up in the morning, if you have a fever or are not feeling well, please refrain from coming to school and see to your physical condition. It is cold in the school buildings, but please ventilate the rooms regularly. Please make sure to keep quiet at lunch. Also, please do what you have been doing to prevent infection, such as washing your hands, wearing masks, and avoiding the 3-dense environments. Let's all do our best to get through this difficult time.
This third term is about to begin. Unlike the first and second terms, it has a smaller number of days, but there is plenty of time to make a good use of it if you are serious. For students from the first year of junior high school to the second year of senior high school, this is the final term of the year. For the third year students of junior high school in particular, it is the last term in your compulsory education. I hope that each of you will take the first step into the new year by shutting the door of the New Year's vacation so that you can feel the fulfillment of having done it. For the third-year high school students, the Common Test for University Admissions is finally upon us. I hope that you will be able to fully demonstrate the academic ability you have acquired so far. In addition, the third-year students of junior and senior high school will have their graduation ceremonies, which are the major events in your school lives. There is a saying, "All's well that ends well," so I hope that each and every one of you will become "serious" and work hard to achieve your own goals and make efforts so that you will see success.
Let's get started for your own goal. Thank you.

In the morning, when I go through the school gate and walk up the slope, stepping on fallen leaves, I can feel the coming of winter in the cold wind. On November 17th, the Christmas tree lighting ceremony was held in front of the gate as an annual event of Advent (the period of waiting for the birth of Jesus Christ). Last year, in order to prevent coronavirus infection, only members of the religious committee attended the ceremony, and we were unable to sing hymns and had to shiver in the cold. This year, however, the infection situation has calmed down a bit, so volunteers were able to gather and hold a grand event. As dusk approached, the colorful illuminations were lit and the candles in our hands were lit in turn. Then we read from the Bible and sang hymns. A peaceful time passed, and the lights lit up in the hearts of the participants, which made me feel the sacredness. Experts warn that the sixth wave of corona infections is coming as the weather gets colder. Let's make sure we take the basic infection control measures we usually do. There are also signs of a flu pandemic. For the third year students of high school, the exam season is finally in full swing. Please do your best, but take care of your health.
Every fall, the Nobel Prize winners are announced. This year, Dr. Shukuro Manabe from Shikokuchuo City in Ehime was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. He clarified the mechanism by which an increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere causes an increase in the temperature of the earth's surface. In recent years, we have been having abnormal weather conditions that are believed to be caused by global warming. Every summer, typhoons become larger and larger, and disasters caused by abnormal weather, such as long and heavy rains, occur frequently throughout Japan. Climate change is a serious issue on which the survival of mankind depends. I hope that every one of you will take an interest in this issue and take action. At a press conference, Dr. Manabe said, "Curiosity was my driving force. The really interesting research is out of curiosity. He repeatedly used the word "curiosity" to describe his passion for research, and we have a lot to learn from his word.
Autumn is also the season for harvesting, and in my garden, I have harvested sweet potatoes, peppers, and broccoli, all of which were planted in the spring. I will also plant new seedlings such as onions and beans. At this time of the year, all of you will begin to see the fruits of your studies and hard work in your club activities that you started in April. Did you do well on the term-end exams? Were you able to achieve results in your club activities and other activities this term? Now is the time for you to reflect on your school life as well as your studies, and make improvements. The year 2021, when the whole world was at the mercy of Corona, will come to an end soon. I can only hope that next year will be better. Let's all spend our winter vacations in a well-planned way, practicing infection control, and make a meaningful year end and new year vacations!
Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year!

毎年地方祭の頃に咲くキンモクセイ、今年は急激な温度変化が原因で開花が遅れていたようですがようやく咲き始めあちらこちらからいい匂いが感じられます。皆さん元気で頑張っていますか。中間考査の結果はどうでしたか。できなかったところを復習して覚え、今月末の期末考査に備えてください。<div> さて、中間考査が終わった翌日、坊ちゃん劇場の観劇と遠足を行いました。計画当初は、コロナのために実施できるか心配していましたが、ちょうどその日から、幸いなことに本県のコロナ対策のレベルが感染縮小期に引き下げられました。今回の坊ちゃん劇場のミュージカルはどうでしたか。高知の貧しい漁師の家に生まれ、波瀾万丈の人生を送りながら、日米の架け橋となったジョン万次郎。その妻、鉄の視点から描いた物語。時代の波に翻弄される中、力強く生きる彼女の姿は、今と重なるところもあり共感した人も多かったのではないでしょうか。さまざまなジャンルの歌や、踊りがあり、最後はペンライトを振りながらキャストと一体となってフィナーレを迎えるなど、楽しい思い出になりましたね。その後、中学校と高校の各学年に分かれての遠足となりましたが、どうでしたか。何か新たな発見がありましたか。 </div><div> また、9月開催から延期になっていたクローバーデイですが、生徒会を中心にさまざまな工夫とアイデアを出し合いすばらしい行事にすることができました。午前中のステージ発表は、琴同好会の演奏からスタートし、部や同好会、有志が歌にダンス、楽器演奏と練習の成果を発表しました。舞台狭しと躍動を感じる演目や東雲らしさが感じられるものなど、演出も抜群で見応えがありました。時がたつのも忘れ気がつけば最後の「しのすい」の演奏になっていました。ランチタイムに、皆さんがやりたかった焼きそばやカレーなどの屋台を出すことは今年もかないませんでしたが、PTA役員の皆さんが地元飲食店に呼びかけて特製弁当を手配していただき、文化祭を盛り上げていただきました。午後は、文化部等の展示や模擬店。デジタル技術を巧みに使い、先生が登場するパロディのビデオ作品を鑑賞する教室もあり盛り上がりました。皆さんのこれまで一生懸命やってきた成果が随所に示され、本年度のスローガン「千紫万紅(せんしばんこう)」の言葉どおり、色とりどりの花が咲き誇りました。今年も、保護者には観覧を遠慮していただきましたが、後日配信する動画で楽しんでもらえればと思います。
コロナの感染状況も落ち着いてきましたが、油断することなく基本的な予防策を取りながら、東雲スクールライフを楽しみましょう。 Go for it ! Shinonome!

It's getting colder in the mornings and evenings, but during the daytime, we can feel the pleasant autumn breeze. The kumquats, which bloom around the time of the local festival every year, have been delayed in blooming this year due to the sudden change in temperature, but they are finally starting to bloom and we can smell the good scent from everywhere. I hope everyone is doing well. How were the results of the midterm exams? Please review and remember what you did not do well on and prepare for the term-end exams at the end of this month.
On the day after the midterm exams ended, we enjoyed a play at the Botchan Theatre and went on a field trip. When we first planned this, we were worried that we would not be able to do it because of the corona, but fortunately, the level of corona restriction in our prefecture has been lowered to a reduced level since then. How was the musical at the Botchan Theatre this time? John Manjiro was born into a poor fisherman's family in Kochi and lived a checkered life, but later became a bridge between Japan and the United States. The story is told from the perspective of his wife, Tetsu. Her powerful life at the mercy of the waves of change overlaps with today's world, and I'm sure many of you sympathized with her story. Various songs and dances were performed, and at the end, it was a fun memory to have the finale together with the cast while waving penlights. After that, you were divided by junior high school and high school grade and went to different field trip destinations. Did you discover anything new?
Also, the Clover Day which had been postponed from September was held. The student council and other members came up with various ideas to make it a wonderful event. The stage performances started with a performance by the Koto Club, followed by songs, dances, and instrumental performances by many clubs and volunteers. The performances, some of which were very dynamic, and others were very unique to Shinonome, were very well staged and worth watching. We forgot about the passing of time and before we knew it, it was time for the last performance of "Shinosui". This year again, we failed to have the yakisoba and curry stalls that everyone wanted to have for lunch, but the PTA members called on local restaurants to arrange for special lunch boxes to make the festival more exciting. In the afternoon, we enjoyed the exhibitions and booths by the cultural clubs and other groups, as well as a classroom where you were able to watch a parody video in which the teachers appeared, made skillfully using digital technology. The results of everyone's hard work have been shown everywhere, and just as the slogan for this year's event, "Senshibankou : A Thousand Violets and Ten Thousand Reds," suggests, the event was filled with colorful flowers in full bloom. Again this year, parents were not allowed to watch the event, but we hope they will enjoy the video that will be distributed later.
The infection situation of corona has almost settled down. So let's enjoy Shinonome school life while taking basic preventive measures and precautions for the corona.
Go for it ! Shinonome !

Please prepare well for them.</p>

This time of year, I am always reminded of the poem, "秋来ぬと目にはさやかに見えねども 風の音にぞおどろかれぬる" (Kokin Waka Shu). Although we can't clearly see that autumn has arrived, the sound of the wind makes us realize that autumn has already arrived. Don't you think it's a pretty good poem? The long, hot season has passed and the weather has finally become cooler. The number of people infected with corona has been decreasing across Japan, and the national emergency declarations and priority measures to prevent the spread of the disease were fully lifted at the end of last month. Our prefecture has also relaxed its infection control measures and is now just in a period of alert, but we cannot be too careful yet. As a countermeasure against infection, we are required to "observe the rules for eating," but I want you to ask yourself if you are really doing so. Please also remember the term called "silent eating.” I understand the desire to have lunch while chatting with friends, but since coronavirus is transmitted by droplets, we must be cautious. Please put on your mask after you finish eating and enjoy talking then.
The other day, there was a schoolwide selection for the Madonna recitation contest for junior high school students in the chapel. Each of the students representing each class was able to recite well, and I was very impressed with their excellent English that showed the results of their practice. Also, the attitude of the audience was excellent, which made the event a fulfilling one. This year's recitation had an interesting topic on gender. Speaking of gender, in the middle of last month, Ms. Yuki Ueno, a friend of Ms. Matsushita from junior high and high school who is now studying at a graduate school in France, suggested that we hold an online workshop for our students. Under the theme of "What is a girl?", the workshop was planned in three parts: "Let's talk about uniforms and school rules." What is LGBTQ+ ? What does 'girl' mean?" and "Is it embarrassing to be a strong woman?" On the other side of the screen, some French university students also attended the meeting. There was a lively exchange of opinions about gender between all sides. In Japan today, gender equality and women's activities are lagging behind the rest of the world. Girls' schools are the most liberated from gender, and spending junior and senior high school in a girls' school allows you to stay in an environment away from gender bias. I felt that it was very meaningful for all of you to participate in such a study session on gender. In the short time that I was able to participate, I realized that Japan is slowly but surely going to change in the future.
At the end of this month, we will have Clover Day, which all of you are looking forward to. We still aren't sure what will happen with the corona infection situation, but let's gather our wisdom and make it a memorable, safe, and enjoyable cultural festival.
You will have mid-term exams soon. Please prepare well for them.

さて、先日の体育祭大変お疲れ様でした。連日の猛暑の中、熱中症予防やコロナ感染対策をしながらの応援やパネル製作、そして競技練習等よく頑張りました。前日から雨天のため開催できるかどうか気をもみましたが、幸いなことに1日の延期で実施することができました。当日のグランド整備やテント張りもそれぞれがよく動き短時間で準備ができました。東雲はなんでも自分たちで考えて全員で協力して行っている、そこに女子校のよさがあると改めて思いました。感染対策のため保護者には観覧を遠慮いただき、今回は体育祭の様子を後日動画配信することとし、生徒・教職員のみで、プログラム自体も縮小しました。本年度のスローガン「Go the distance つかみ取れ青春物語」にふさわしい熱戦の連続で、観る者にさわやかな感動を与え、すばらしいものになりました。特に、応援合戦は、大声を出すことが自粛されている中、応援リーダー中心で実施しましたがどの団も一致団結したすばらしいもので観る者に感動を与えました。体育祭に向けて、自分たちが限界まで頑張ったことや感動したことをこれからの学校生活に生かしてもらいたいものです。私は、体育祭を観て、東雲生の「すばらしさ」や「底力」をまた一つ見つけたような気がしています。
秋はもうそこに来ていますね。皆さん一人一人が自分の目標に向かってこの2学期を充実させてください。
Autumn is just around the corner. Let's get started !

The long rain that started before the Obon holidays has caused huge damage in many areas. I hope that your area is safe. There is still a risk of landslides, so please be careful. The summer heat will also continue for a while. Don't forget to take measures against heat stroke such as staying hydrated. During the Olympics and Paralympics, I had mixed feelings every day, wishing the best for the Japanese athletes and worrying about the spread of corona infection. As of now, corona infection has spread rapidly in Ehime Prefecture, especially in Matsuyama City, so the alert level has been raised to the "infection control period" and priority measures to prevent spread have been implemented. We are also concerned about the tightening of medical services and the impact on public health centers. We are very concerned about the increase in the number of elementary, junior high and high school students infected with the highly infectious Delta strain from India, which is rampant throughout Japan. Under such circumstances, we have decided to postpone Clover Day, giving top priority to infection prevention. Now, more than ever, each and every one of us must be aware that we are surrounded by the greatest risk in history, and we must take action to avoid infection with the greatest sense of urgency. In order to protect your own life, the lives of your family members, and the lives of others, please be sure to practice this. Also, please discuss "how to avoid infection at home" with your family.
On a lighter note, thank you very much for your hard work at the recent Sports Festival. Our students did a great job of cheering, making panels, and practicing for competitions while taking precautions to prevent heat stroke and corona infection during these hot days. We were worried about whether we could hold the event or not because of the rainy weather, but fortunately we only had to postpone it for one day. On the morning of the event, every one of you worked very hard to prepare the ground and set up the tents in a short time. At Shinonome, you think of everything on your own and work together, and I was reminded that this is one of the advantages of a girls' school. For the sake of infection control, we asked the parents to refrain from watching the event, and we decided to broadcast the video of the Sports Festival at a later date, reducing the size of the program to just the students and faculty members. In keeping with the slogan of this year's festival, "Go the distance, Seizing the Story of Youth," you had a series of fierce battles that left the audience with a refreshing impression. In particular, the cheering competition was conducted mainly by the cheering leaders, while other members refrained from yelling in loud voices, but all the groups were united in a wonderful way that impressed the audience. I would like you to make use of what you have done as much as you can and what you were impressed with from the athletic festival in your school life. Watching the athletic festival, I feel like I have found another "wonderful point" and "potential power" of our Shinonome students.
Autumn is just around the corner. I hope that each and every one of you will make the most of this second term to achieve your own goals. Let's get started!

夏休み入って、ビブリオ倶楽部から招待を受け、第1回校内ビブリオバトルを観覧しました。本を身近に感じ、興味を持ってもらうという読書習慣の啓発が目的のイベント。10人のバトラーが自分の選んだ本をそれぞれ一冊紹介し、後で観覧者が最も感銘を受けた発表者に一票を投じ、チャンプ(優勝者)を決めるというものです。今回のバトラーは皆、原稿を見ないで自分の言葉で愛読書を紹介しました。その後のディスカッションにおいても、物語の内容を追いながら、主人公の生き方に自分の生き方を重ね、自説を展開していましたが、その堂々と発表している姿に感動しました。髙橋結ホーム大下凜々花さんの愛読書、江國香織著「すいかの匂い」がチャンプ本となりました。次回は皆さんも是非参加してみてください。
もう一つ、英語キャンプがみつばホールで開催されました。中学3年生、高校1年生合わせて23名が参加しました。ALTのジック先生の説明の後、ビーチボールをパスし、そこに書いてある質問に英語で答えるという活動からスタートしました。目隠ししたメンバーがアリゲーター(わに)に遭わないように、go straight とかleft, right, go back と声がけをするゲームには参加者全員が夢中になって取り組んでいました。なんといっても圧巻は、必要な3つの道具を選んでそれを絵に描いて皆の前でプレゼンする「無人島での生き残りゲーム」で、皆自然に英語を使っている様子がうかがわれ、予想した以上に有意義なイベントになったと思いました。
今開催中のオリンピックでは、日本選手も金メダルを量産するなど大活躍です。しかしながら、首都圏を中心に全国でこれまで以上に感染が拡大し、医療のひつ逼ぱく迫が心配されています。終業礼拝でもお話ししましたが、コロナと向き合う2度目の夏、対策を万全にして、全員元気でこの夏休みを過ごしてください。身も心もリフレッシュして、一段と成長した皆さんに、2学期の始業礼拝で会えることを楽しみにしています。
Stay Healthy ! Make this summer yours !

It's July. Do you know the origin of the word "July" in English? Please look up the meaning of the word. You will find out some interesting facts. The end-of-term examinations are over, and I'm sure you are now all breathing a sigh of relief. Please correct the wrong answers on your returned exam papers and remember them. And make the remaining days until the end of the first term fulfilling. Review what you have learned during the first term without feeling like the summer vacation has already started.
Last month, for the Saturday School, the second year high school students went to Baishinji to do a beach beautification activity as part of the "Zero Marine Litter" campaign promoted by the Ministry of the Environment. They collected cans, bottles, and plastic garbage, and in about two hours, they filled up 18 garbage bags, including combustible and non-combustible bags. ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) is now being advocated as a way to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Through this activity, I believe that the participants were able to see the current state of environmental deterioration that is progressing in the ocean, and to take a look not only at the ocean but also at their own surroundings and think about the problems. Thank you for your hard work.
The Prefectural Athletic Meet, which was cancelled last year due to the influence of the coronavirus, was held for the first time in two years under the slogan, "Connecting- The baton that could not be passed on that day, now." and heated battles were held at each venue. Sadly, to prevent corona infections there were no spectators, but our students did their best until the end. The archery team, as expected, dominated, taking first through eighth places, and the volleyball team won without losing a single set. Unfortunately, the soccer team did not advance to the finals, but the content of the match seems to have been very good. The other teams of Shinonome were able to fully demonstrate their abilities. Two weeks later, both the archery and volleyball teams won the Shikoku Tournament held in Kagawa. As for the junior high school clubs, the volleyball team also won the city tournament without dropping a single set. One of our students winning the individual championship of Kendo is also a great achievement. I hope that each club will continue to work hard to achieve even higher goals.
The long-awaited summer vacation is around the corner. You have 34 days of vacation, so please start planning how you are going to spend it. The summer vacation gives you more free time to do what you want, but there is also the danger of falling into a world of laziness. Also, although the number of corona infections in our prefecture has been decreasing, we cannot be too careful yet. I am also worried about heat stroke. I hope you will have a healthy and meaningful summer vacation, so that you'll be ready for the start of the second term.
Stay Healthy! Enjoy your summer!

先月、サタデースクールで高校2年生が、環境省が進める「海ごみゼロ」運動の一環として、梅津寺に出かけ海岸美化活動を行いました。缶や瓶、プラステイックごみなどを集め、2時間くらいの間に可燃、不燃合わせて18枚のごみ袋がいっぱいになったようです。今、ESD(Education for Sustainable Developmentの略)「持続可能な開発目標のための教育」が提唱されています。今回の活動を通して参加した皆さんは、海で進行している環境悪化の現状を見て、海だけでなく、自分たちの身の回りをあらためて見て、問題点を考えるなど地球環境を「自分ごと」としてとらえることができるようになったのではと思います。ご苦労様でした。
昨年度はコロナウイルスの影響で中止であった県高校総体が「繋(つなぐ)~あの日渡せなかったバトンを、今~」の大会スローガンのもと2年ぶりに開かれ、各会場で熱戦が繰り広げられました。コロナ感染症対策のため無観客となりましたが、本校生は最後まで一生懸命頑張りました。アーチェリー部は予想通り、1位から8位を独占、バレーボール部も全試合負けなしで優勝。サッカー部は、残念ながら決勝に進むことはできませんでしたが、試合内容は大変よかったようです。他の部ももてる力を充分に発揮できたようです。また、2週間後に香川で開催された四国大会でも、アーチェリー部、バレーボール部ともに優勝というすばらしい結果を出しました。中学校市総体においてもバレーボール部が1セットも落とすことない強さで優勝しました。剣道の個人優勝も快挙です。各部とも更に高みを目指して頑張ってください。
もうすぐ待望の夏休みですね。休みは指折り数えますと34日ありますが、皆さんはどのように過ごしますか、今から計画を立ててください。自由な時間が増え、やりたいことがやれる反面、自分への甘さから怠惰な世界に陥る危険性のある夏休みです。また、県内でコロナの感染者数が減ってはきましたが、まだまだ油断はできません。熱中症も心配です。2学期のスタートに向けて、健やかで有意義な夏にしてください。
Stay Healthy! Enjoy your summer!

The Shikoku region entered the rainy season on the 15th of last month. This is the earliest start of the rainy season since records began in 1951. The English phrase "It never rains but it pours" comes to mind, as days of heavy rain have been coming more and more in recent years. Experts have concluded that the rise in sea water temperature due to global warming has led to an increase in rainfall, and say that we need to be constantly vigilant as we enter the era of climate change and the risk of heavy rainfall disasters continues to increase. I would like to ask everyone to check the hazard maps for safe places in your neighborhood so that you can act quickly in case of emergency. It is also said that wearing a mask for a long time in the early summer weather increases the risk of heat stroke. Our school will take precautions, but please make sure to stay hydrated and take good care of yourself as well.
By the way, when I looked into the classrooms of the junior high students in the morning, I found that almost all of them were seated and reading quietly. According to the junior high school teachers' comments, this activity did not go well when they first started it, but gradually the students became more positive about it, and this school year, it seems to have taken root. I think this is a really good way to calm down before the start of the school day. Also, when I go around the school buildings during the cleaning time after the lunch break, I am impressed by how hard everyone is working. It is a natural thing for human beings to clean the classrooms and toilets they use. If you think you are not doing enough, please do your best from now on.
The other day, I attended the speeches by the candidates of the student council election and their supporters. Each of them spoke openly in their own words about how to make the student council activities better and how to make school life more enjoyable and fulfilling. I was very touched by their performance and felt as if I had discovered another wonderful thing about Shinonome students.
This weekend, the prefectural and city sports tournaments will start. Despite the tournaments being held during the Corona disaster, I hope that each of you will make it a memorable event as a moment in your youth. I sincerely hope that all the students who participate in the tournament will play well and make endless progress in a refreshing and energetic way that is typical of Shinonome students.
Shinonome will surely make it!

Did you have a good time during the Golden Week? The week may have made you want to travel somewhere, but I imagine you had to endure days of not being able to go out to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. As for me I harvested horsebeans and potatoes in the field behind my house, prepared the soil for new summer vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, etc. and planted those seedlings. It's already been a month since the new school year started. Have you gotten used to your new school environment? The midterm examinations will be coming up soon, so I hope that you will change your life style from the holidays, and get back into the rhythm of your usual school life and do your best.
Last month, there were two events that made me forget the unpleasant mood of the Corona disaster for a moment. One of them was golfer Hideki Matsuyama from Ehime winning the Masters Tournament, making him the first Japanese man to win a major. He has experienced many failures and defeats, gone through difficulties, and tried his best to overcome his weaknesses and shortcomings. I think he has grown a lot as a person by thinking, "I'm not ready yet as a man as well as a golfer." He said that he was nervous until the very end of the competition, but he had set a big dream and goal and worked hard, overcoming various difficulties to achieve this victory. His achievement gave courage not only to the students who are doing club activities, but also to those who are working hard with their own dreams and goals.
The other is related to the brass band club which was scheduled to participate in the Olympic torch relay arrival ceremony. Last year the ceremony was cancelled due to Corona, and they had been practicing for this year's event, but it was cancelled at the last minute due to the rapid increase in the number of infected people in our prefecture, especially in Matsuyama. However, a sponsor company of the torch relay said it would donate the T-shirts to be worn during the performance. On that day, in front of the gymnasium, under the glow of the setting sun, all the members of the brass band climbed into a special parade car wearing the T-shirts with big smiles on their faces. The red color of the shirts and the words "Tokyo Olympics" written on the car looked very vivid. The representative of the company praised the wonderfulness and politeness of the students, and said that it was really good to come up with this event. Actually, the representative was a student of mine when I was a young teacher, so this event became a memorable one for me.
The future of Corona will continue to be uncertain, but let's set a big goal and do our best.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Spring has come to the Dogo Plain, and the fresh green leaves are shining brighter, welcoming a season full of hope. The slope leading from the main gate to the school building is also filled with the fragrance of spring. Shockingly, in our prefecture, new clusters of Corona infections are now frequently occurring. So, on the 8th, we entered the "infection control period", which requires the utmost caution. Again, we need to take actions to avoid the risk of infection with a greater sense of urgency than ever before. Under such circumstances, we were able to hold a splendid entrance ceremony suitable for a traditional school on April 9th with 123 new students from both junior and senior high schools. The ceremony was held on a reduced scale, taking all possible measures to prevent infection. The new students this year experienced the entrance examinations under an unprecedentedly anxious environment of vigilance against infection by the new coronavirus. That is why I could feel how much they were looking forward to entering our school. I was particularly moved by the powerful pledges made by the representatives of the junior and senior high school students. I would like all the current students to remember the time when they entered the school and welcome the new students with kindness and warmth. Please be a respected role model as a senior, and be sure to convey to your juniors the good traditions, dignity, and rich school culture of Shinonome. I hope all of you will do that. As I mentioned in the opening ceremony, I would like to talk about the English that is written on both sides of the school gate. First of all, on the left side it says, "Let only the Eager, Thoughtful, Reverent enter here." This means, "Those who wish to study at Shinonome must pursue high ideals, devout faith, and serious effort to pass through this gate." And on the right side of the school gate, it says, "And go forth prepared to serve God and thy neighbors," which means,"Those who have studied at Shinonome will go out of this gate with deep faith, broad learning, and a noble character, enriched with a spirit of service to serve God and other people in society. I hope that you will remember the meanings of these words and come to school each day with pride in being a Shinonome student. The 2021 school year has begun. Please do your best to achieve your goals.

During the cycle of cold and warm days, we spend our time feeling as if we hear the prelude of a parting song from nowhere. Rape blossoms and plum blossoms are now in full bloom, and we can hear the tidings of cherry blossoms. The special alert period for Corona infections has been lifted as the spread of the infection has subsided. However, we must not be careless. Please remember that your actions have an impact on society, and take measures to prevent getting sick as well. I think you are all feeling relieved after the year-end examinations. Please make the most of the two weeks left in the end of the school year and the spring holidays. Use this time to revise what you have learned and to prepare for a good start to the new school year.
This March 1st, we were able to hold a graduation ceremony, although the scale of the ceremony was reduced due to the coronavirus. The following is what I said in my speech. The society that awaits the graduates is now in a very difficult situation. The complexity of the social environment is increasing, unexpected events are occurring one after another, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to predict the future. For example, climate change caused by global warming, such as the torrential rains in summer, and the corona pandemic that all of humanity is now struggling with, are serious challenges. By encountering these problems, however, we could think about what disaster countermeasures should be and realize the various problems that are distorting society. At the same time, it made us realize the importance of human relationships and the significance of everyday life. You may not be able to find the right answers to the problems you will encounter in the future, but what you should do is acquire the ability to use information technology in preparation for an increasingly digital society. You also need to meet and interact with a variety of people, broaden your perspectives, and make good use of your experiences. You should see with your own eyes, and think with your own head, to make decisions. If you accumulate such genuine, positive learning experiences, you will be able to have a solid way of life and overcome difficulties. In addition, there may be times when you encounter a male-dominated, incorrect gender-consciousness that does not reward you for your efforts simply because you are a woman. However, at such times, I would like you to face them with courage, based on our school precepts of "high ideals," "devout faith," "sincere effort," "pure love," and "selfless service," as well as the flexibility of mind and empathy that you have cultivated at this girls' school. This will surely become the driving force to change Japan and the world. At the end of the ceremony, I read a passage from a poem by Samuel Ullman, an American poet, which the graduates had studied in my English class when they were first-year high school students: "Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind." Quoting the poem, I encouraged them to keep the feeling of "youth" with them throughout their lives.
Thank you for reading "Principal's Newsletter" throughout this school year. I hope you have enjoyed its English version as well.

So, be serious about everything in this term .</div>

It has been almost a year since the corona disaster started. Every day we should keep our eyes open in order to stop the spread of infection in our prefecture. The word "triage" has been used recently. This word is derived from French and means "selection." If the number of infected people continues to increase, medical care will be strained and some people will not be able to receive treatment. "Triage" means "deciding the order of medical care," as it could lead to an extremely grave situation where people who should not have died will die. In these times, the Citrus Ribbon Project movement, which originated in our prefecture, seems to be spreading nationwide. Do you know it? It is a campaign to eliminate slander and discrimination against Corona victims by wearing a yellow-green handmade ribbon to support them. At our school, the YWCA members made those ribbons and introduced them at their booth during the Clover Day. Please take a look at the posters displayed in the school. I hope you will support the purpose of this campaign and take action.
Speaking of hot news, the news for our school is the activities of the Brass Band club. Unfortunately, they did not have any major competitions due to Corona until recently. At the end of the last year, they performed splendidly, despite the freezing cold weather, at the "The 65th Ceremony of the Installation of the First Traffic Signal in Ehime Prefecture" held on Okaido street, and in December, they participated in the Chuyo Regional Qualifying Round of the Ensemble Contest, winning gold in four categories and silver in two. The junior high school students also did well, winning silver in their first appearance in the competition. The horn trio then participated in the prefectural competition and won the silver prize, showing the power of "Shinosui." As for the high school volleyball team, they won their first game in the "Spring Volleyball National Championship," losing in the second round to Kinrankai from Osaka, last year's runner-up. I saw the tournament live on TV, and saw the signature Shinonome style of play throughout the game, and I believe that this was a memorable tournament that the players would not regret. In the "Peace in Our Hearts" essay contest sponsored by Matsuyama UNESCO, eight of our students won awards including the Chairman's Award, the Nankai Broadcasting Award, and the Excellence Award. The other day, I read the essay, "Thank You for the Blessed Environment" by Kiho Murai, a junior high school student who won the Chairman's Award. She looked at the children in developing countries and compared our lives with those who live hard in war, poverty and hunger. Additionally she thought about world peace, and touched on SDGs efforts to solve problems.
Well, as the saying goes, "January goes, February run away, and March leaves," there are few remaining days left in this school year. For the 1st and the 2nd year students, as the year-end examinations will be announced soon, I hope that each of you will study methodically to prepare for them, and for the third year students, please do what you should do before graduation. All's well that ends well. So, be serious about everything in this term .

Happy new year! 2021 has finally begun. Did you all have a meaningful winter vacation? As they say, "The measure of the year is made on New Year's Day." Have you set your goals for this year? Last year, the Chinese character for "dense" was used to represent the social situation in Japan. I imagine that this was due to the fact that many people avoided "the three C's" to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. However, the word "dense" also means "to be close to," and it also expresses the wish for a good year ahead, to be further connected with people in our hearts, even though we are physically away from each other due to social distancing.
I exchange Christmas cards every year with a friend who I lived with during my stay in England. This year, she wrote about corona. Somerset, her hometown in the southwest of England, also seems to be ravaged by corona. It is located at the same latitude as Hokkaido in Japan, and I hear that the winters are very cold there. I read that this year it has become much colder indoors due to the extra-ventilation to prevent infection, and that they managed to survive the coldness by constantly wearing heavy clothes. I thought, "It is difficult to live through this winter everywhere in the world." It's about to get really cold in Japan. It is going to be a critical period for facing corona from now on. Corona infections are more common than ever before and can happen to anyone at any time. In such a situation, your friends or teachers may be infected one day. When this happens, it is important that we all take care of them, show them warmth and compassion, and hope that they will get well soon. Unfortunately, there are still cases that the infected people are slandered and run down. It's hell for them to be discriminated against by others, on top of the difficulties they face just by being infected with corona. Please, imagine what it would be like if you were an infected person. Never do anything that you would not want others to do to you, and act in a way that you would want others to act. That is an important way to be human.
Compared with the first and second term, the third term has fewer days, but there is plenty of time to use if you work seriously. I hope that each of you will take the first step to accomplish things this year. Do your best in all things, whether it should be study, club activities or any other challenges you choose to take. As students of Shinonome, I want you to do your best. For third-year high school students, the Common Test for University Admissions is finally here. I hope that you will be able to fully demonstrate the strength you have accumulated so far. In addition, the graduation ceremonies for the third year of junior and senior high school are approaching, which are major milestones in your lives. This is truly the culmination of three or six years at our school. As the saying goes, "All's well that ends well," I sincerely hope that every one of you will get serious and work hard to achieve your goals, so that each of you can make the most of your time here.
Let's get started on your own goals.

In the morning, I passed through the school gate and stepped on the fallen leaves that seemed to be blown away by the wind, and I felt that autumn had finally arrived this year. But soon the chill in the mornings and evenings reminded me of the coming of winter. As it gets colder, the number of people infected with corona seems to be increasing dramatically across the country. Our prefecture is no exception. In winter, the risk of infection seems to increase because moisture from droplets drifts through the air for long periods of time due to the dryness of the weather. Ventilation is neglected indoors, and washing hands is also neglected because the water is too cold. There have also been cases of infection during activities outside of school and at home. Take thorough measures to prevent infections, such as encouraging hand-washing, wearing a mask, and avoiding the "Three Cs" (closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings) which I'm sure you usually do. And don't forget to get enough sleep and moderate exercise to build up your resistance.
For third-year high school students, the exam season has arrived, and it is time to decide on your future. Currently you are in the middle of taking AO entrance examinations and entrance examinations by school recommendation. This year, many universities are requiring online exams due to the coronavirus. The other day, I had the opportunity to talk about "Preparing for Entrance Exams" during the HR time in one of the third year classes. First of all, taking exams is a team competition. Even if you pass, it's important to encourage each other and work hard until everyone in the class passes. When it comes to choosing a college, 'what to study' is more important than 'where to study.' I also talked about getting enough time to study, making a study plan based on the exam date, and carrying that plan out. Please follow this advice.
After the annual harvest festival, the awards ceremony was held. There were no major competitions or contests in the first term due to the corona, but in the second term, they were held by reducing the scale and were held without spectators. The archery team has dominated, taking first, second and third place in almost all of the games so far. The junior high school volleyball club cried from finishing as runner-up at the city tournament, but won the long-awaited victory at the prefectural tournament. The golf club and badminton club also did very well, each taking second place. We also received many awards in the field of art, such as painting, posters and design. Some students tried and won Japanese and English recitation contests, as well as haiku. I was very impressed with the number of awards that you earned in such a short time.
Now, did you do well on the second term-end exams? Did you make progress in your club activities and other activities in this term? Now is the time for you to look back on your school life, not to mention your studies, and make improvements. We are almost at the end of the year 2020, when the world was shrouded in a dark cloud of corona. We can only hope that next year will be much better. All of you are looking forward to the winter break, but to avoid corona infections, please avoid going out of the house and spend some quality time with your families.
Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year!

Shinonome!

What are your dreams? What do you want to be in the future? An astronaut, athlete, scientist, politician, teacher, nurse....? This year, two women were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and another woman received the Prize in Literature. Women are now very active in many fields. Are you thinking about your future career? In recent years, the working population has been shrinking due to a declining birthrate and an aging population. As many industries and the economy are changing structurally, employment has become diversified and more fluid. And significant technological innovation, especially in artificial intelligence (AI), and the impact of the corona virus have changed the environment related to your future career dramatically. In order to decide on your career, it is important to start by looking at yourself, find out what you are interested in, and what you are good at, and then think about the future career where you can make use of those factors. Therefore, I would like you to find "what you really like" and "what you really want to do." Applying your aptitudes and abilities to these "things you like" and subconsciously sensing that you can do this, will create what you want to do. However, this is not an easy task. Ryu Murakami, the author of "Hello Work at 13 Years Old," says, "What you want to do is something you will encounter." I hope that you will encounter what you want to do through your Shinonome life. In order to do so, please make the most of your daily classes and learn not only from each lesson you take, but also the way of life of your teachers. And please actively participate in club activities, school events, Saturday school lessons, volunteer activities, and other various things. Through these activities you join, you can learn how to contact with people, how to get along with them, and how to build human relationships. I hope that by challenging yourself to try various things, you will be able to find what you want to do, which will lead to creating your future plans.
At the beginning of last month, the annual speech contest was held, which was even better than usual. The 18 representatives from each of the junior and senior high school classes stood on the stage in the gym to speak out their messages. It takes a lot of courage to express your opinion in front of a large audience, but each of them expressed their thoughts with confidence. What impressed me was that each speech was not borrowed, but original, and that the speaking volume was adjusted, and the speed and pace were devised so that the message could be conveyed well to the audience. I would like to encourage all of you to think about the things around you that are questionable or contradictory, look for the answers to them, summarize them in your own way and present them somewhere else. And I definitely want you to put them into concrete actions. Remember that "how you have become able to put things into practice" is more important than "what you have learned." Go for it ! Shinonome!

Please prepare well for them.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The week after the Sports Festival, the preliminary Madonna recitation contest for the junior high school students was held earlier than usual in the chapel. I was very impressed with how well each student recited the assigned essay by heart and how well they showed their English. The attitude of the other students who were listening to the recitation was also excellent. The theme of the recitation was about "the power of words." Words can bridge the hearts of people, relieve their anger and sadness, empower them, praise them, and make them feel happy. Words, however, can also hurt and discourage people. That's what the essay was all about. Sometimes words can have other meanings than the literal ones. For example, "hate" can mean the same as "like." It's called "non-verbal communication," and when you're communicating with others, it's not just the words you say, but also your facial expressions and tone of voice that matter. However, recently, it seems that more and more people take the word "hate" as it is, probably because they communicate with others using email and LINE more often. The tendency to see the word "hate" on the screen as "hate" has had a profound effect on real-life communication as well. Due to Corona, unfortunately, we are always forced to wear a mask. This life style has made it hard for us to see other people's facial expressions and also hard to hear their voices. I would like you to take this opportunity to think about the importance of words and communication.
The Clover Day that you had been looking forward to, although on a smaller scale, was able to be held. This year, we had been worried during the planning stage because we didn't know how the corona infection would go. First of all, in order to avoid the 3 Cs (Crowded places, Close-contact settings, Confined and enclosed spaces) in the gym, we decided to ask parents to refrain from watching the stage performances and instead enjoy them by the video we would deliver later. The day started with a worship service in the gym with the slogan "Share moments, share lives." I was fascinated by your stage performances, which seemed to beat the corona. In the afternoon, I enjoyed the exhibitions and booths of the cultural clubs. All of the volunteer classes also showed the results of their hard work. You were unable to set up yakisoba and curry stalls as you had hoped for because of the corona, but the PTA members asked local restaurants to prepare special lunch boxes just for this day to liven up the festival. This was carried widely in the local press later.
It has become considerably cooler. Let's be careful to stay healthy. You will have mid-term exams soon. Please prepare well for them.<br />

Let's get started!<br />

The summer heat, which has been dangerously close to 40 degrees Celsius, has finally started to die down. I hope every one of you is doing well. Thank you for all the hard work you did at the Sports Festival the other day. You had had a hard time practicing for cheering and the competition while taking precautions against heat stroke and corona infection. Also, when I saw how the tents were set up the day before, I was very surprised at how well everyone worked and how quickly they were completed. In Shinonome, the students do everything, thinking about what to do by themselves. I thought again that the merit of a girls' school lies there. On the day of the event, we were worried about whether or not we could hold it because of the passage of Typhoon No. 9, but fortunate enough, we were able to do it as planned. In order to prevent corona infection, we increased the number of tents for students, limited the audience to the parents of third-year high school students, and reduced the program itself. The athletic festival was a great success, as it gave a refreshing impression to the audience through a series of hot battles appropriate for the slogan "Youth Story: The Battle of Girls (Ikusa)" of this school year. In particular, the panel of each group had a higher degree of perfection in terms of composition and color than usual, and attracted a lot of attention. I hope that you will make the most of what you did for the festival, and what impressed you in your future school life. I felt that I had found one more "brilliance" and "power" of the students of Shinonome by watching the festival. It seems that the corona epidemic has not stopped. Nationally, hundreds of people have been infected every day. We must continue to take preventive measures to avoid the “3 C's” and to avoid getting infected or passing the disease. However, no matter how much we try to prevent it, I suppose that anyone can be infected with corona nowadays. What would happen if someone close to you, such as a classmate, were to become infected? She is a victim of corona infection even though she has been taking proper countermeasures. It is important for everyone to take care of her and to treat her with warmth and compassion. However, cases of slander, defamation and denunciation of infected people are frequent all over the country. This also happened in our prefecture. It is very sad and unfortunate. Please, imagine that you have become a patient and never do anything you would not want others to do for you, and if there is something you would like others to do for you, do it. That is important as a human being. It seems that Corona is testing our human nature. I believe that Shinonome students can make the right decisions and take the right actions. Autumn is already here. This is the most effective season for study, sports, and art. I hope that each of you will make the most of this second term as you work toward your goals.

コロナウイルスのパンデミックはかつてないタイプの重大な事態であり、ちょっと前までは想像もつかなかったほど私たちの暮らしを変えてきています。私は、皆さんに機会あるごとに、「Never waste the Crisis. コロナの危機を無駄にするな」と言ってきました。私自身も長い人生の中での初めての経験で、いろいろと考えを巡らせています。治療薬やワクチンの登場までは with コロナの生活になるという事実は事実として、どうすれば充実した生活にすることができるのか。ノーベル賞を受賞したIPS細胞の研究者山中伸弥教授は、コロナとの戦いは「長いマラソン」と同じでコロナと共に走り続けなければならないと言っています。またある学者は、ウイルスは生命体ではない。勝手に増えることもなければ、人間を狙って攻撃しているわけでもない。人が接触によって広げているだけである。だからソーシャルデイスタンス(社会的距離)を取る必要があると。感染拡大防止と社会経済活動回復の両立を進める日本社会の動きの中で、この夏、これまで以上に人が往来すると予想されます。既に首都圏を中心に全国で感染が拡大しています。その中で、皆さんには、想像力を生かして、東雲生らしい正しい行動をとってほしいものです。<br />
「覚悟の夏だ」という人もいます。コロナ対策や熱中症予防を万全にして、全員元気でこの夏休みを有意義に過ごしてください。<br />
Stay resilient this summer ! <br />

Due to the effects of Corona, we had to close school, take classes only in the morning, and even take online classes. It was a tumultuous term with an uncertain future, but we managed to finish it successfully. Every one of you did a great job despite the somewhat inconvenient school life, which was different from usual years. Club activities also started with individual practice and have now returned to the normal. The archery team dominated the High School Championship Ehime Substitute Tournament with first, second and third place. The junior high school volleyball club also won their alternate match at the City General Tournament last week, winning the overall title. Also, two members of the art club were awarded the prize for excellence for their original drawings of the Ehime Prefecture General Culture Festival. Although the Inter-High Athletic Meet and the National Athletic Meet have been cancelled, we hope that all the clubs will do their best to prepare for the next competition by taking measures against corona and heat stroke this summer.
The coronavirus pandemic has never been more serious. It is changing our lives in ways that would have been unimaginable not long ago. At every opportunity, I have said to you, "Never waste the Crisis." This is the first time in my own long life that I've had to think about this, and I've given it a lot of thought. The fact that we will be living with corona until a cure or vaccine comes along is a fact, but how can we make it a fulfilling life? Professor Yamanaka, a Nobel Prize-winning IPS cell researcher, says that the fight against corona is like a "long marathon" and we have to keep running with corona. One scholar also said that the virus is not a living organism, so it doesn't grow on its own, nor is it attacking humans on its own. It is only spread by people through contact. This is why we need to keep social distancing between us and others. In Japanese society, which is promoting both the prevention of the spread of infection and the recovery of socio-economic activities, more people are expected to come and go this summer than ever before. Infection is already spreading across the country, especially in the Tokyo metropolitan area. I hope that you will make the most of your imagination and do the right thing as a Shinonome student.
Some people say, "It's the summer of preparedness. Please make sure to take all the necessary precautions against corona and heat stroke, and make sure everyone is in good spirits and spending this summer vacation in a meaningful way. Stay resilient this summer!

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。<br />
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。<br />

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.
Feel free to give your opinion, please.

コロナ禍に関連するある新聞記事に目が止まりました。かの万有引力の発見は、自粛生活の中から生まれたものだと。17世紀、若き日のニュートンは英国でペストが大流行していたとき感染防止のためロンドンを離れ郷里の村に避難し、そこでの生活の中で、あの引力や微積分など偉大な発見をしたのだと。このことは非常時だからこそ生まれるものがあるということを教えてくれています。皆さんも、これまでにない経験から何か新しいことに気づいたのではないですか。学校通信「しののめ」第2号で、生徒会長の長野琴未さんは、休校中の生活に触れ、「学校は教科の勉強だけをする場ではなく、友だちと話したり行動を共にする中で社会性や行動力など多様な力を培うことができる。ふだんのいつもどおりの日々がどれだけすばらしく大切なものであるかを改めて感じている。」と述べ、さらにメディアの情報が本当に正しいかどうかを鵜呑みにせずに自分自身でしっかり判断して行動すべきである、と結んでいます。<br />
私は東雲を「コロナに強い学校」にしたいと思っています。そこでは、生徒が予防策を継続する中で、この制約のある時期をけっして無駄にしない学校生活を送っている。そして、家庭においては、外に出るより自分と向き合う時間を大切にしている。そんな中で、生徒として、いや人間としてどうあるべきかを考えている。そんな東雲生であって欲しいものです。<br />

Last week, our school fully reopened, which we had long waited for. While walking to the school, I am greeted by some students on bike as they are passing me by. In front of the school gate, the students of the volleyball team are weeding to clean the Ropeway Road. We can hear the worshipful sound of organs and the voice of lively students from classrooms. Such usual everyday life has come back. What I feel different from the past is the figure of the teachers and the students. They all wear masks. Have you heard teachers' voices well during class? I'm worried that wearing a mask for a long time may be harmful especially in the recent early summer-like days when the temperature has been rising. The season is approaching when heat stroke measures will be necessary, please make sure to keep your body well hydrated and well maintained.
I once caught my eyes on a newspaper article related to the corona disaster. That well known discovery of gravity was made during a life of self-isolation. In the seventeenth century, when young Newton left London to escape from the plague during a pandemic outbreak of the Black Death and went to his hometown village, where he made great discoveries such as gravity and calculus during his stay. The story tells us that something important can be miraculously discovered during a time of emergency. You may also have noticed something new from such an unprecedented experience when you spent time at home. In the school leaflet "Shinonome" No. 2, the student council president Nagano Kotomi, referring to the life during the corona closure of school, said, "School is not only the place to study each subject, but also to cultivate a variety of powers such as sociality and the ability to take action through chatting with friends and acting in concert. I've recognized once again how wonderful and important everyday life is.” And she finished her words by saying that we shouldn't accept all the information in the media without questioning it and that we should make our own judgments and act after thinking it through ourselves.
I would like to make Shinonome a strong school against the coronavirus. Here, students spend their school life, continuing their preventive measures to the corona and never wasting these constrained corona days. And at home, they value the time they face themselves rather than going out. Under such circumstances, the students are thinking about what they should be as human beings. I pray for Shinonome students to do so.
Broaden your horizon during the age of Corona.

休校の間、皆さんのことが大変心配でした。元気で課題を頑張っているだろうか。運動不足解消のために身体を動かしているだろうか。入学したばかりの1年生はどういう思いで過ごしているだろうか。高3生は進路のことで悩んでいないだろうかなど。ステイホーム連休中、私もずっと家にいて、皆さんの外出できないことへの退屈な思いやストレスを実感することができました。休校中、先生方も家庭学習の一環として、オンライン学習を始めるため、互いに研修しながら、今ある設備を工夫してなんとか準備を進めて来ました。パソコンやタブレット、スマホを使った学習は、コロナ休校に関係なく充実させて行かなけれならないものと考えています。<br />
家庭学習期間の生活は、皆さんにとってプラスになることもあったと思います。それは、自分自身と向き合う時間が多くなり、自分の言動を反省してみることができる。他人への思いやりの気持ちを育むことができるということです。皆さんはエッセンシャル・ワーカーという言葉を知っていますか。医療、介護、交通、物流、小売店、ゴミ処理など私たちが社会生活を維持するために、感染の危険と隣り合わせの中で毎日仕事をしている人たちです。この人たちの日常を想像し、感謝する気持ちを持って欲しいのです。また、これからは新しい生活様式が大切です。それはこれまでの価値観を変えなければならないことかもしれません。感染防止行動を取りながら、コロナと共に生きる日常。今に注目し、目の前のやらなければならないことを淡々とこなして行く、そういう態度で毎日を精一杯生きることだと思います。我慢しなければならないことも沢山ありますが、25日からの学校完全再開に向けて共に頑張りましょう!<br />
Never Waste the Crisis. 「この危機を無駄にするな」<br />

We have had a long closure of school due to the corona virus. After the day of the entrance ceremony, the school closure began for the first-year junior high school students. Since that day it started for the second and third-year junior high school students, while the high school students went to school only two days, when the school was also shut down. It was to protect your lives and safety, and in hope that the infection would end. More than a month and a half has passed since then, but the corona virus has still persisted rather than weakening, and new infected people in the world are coming out every day. Fortunately, however, the infection has managed to be treated in our prefecture, so I decided to restart our school in stages, thoroughly implementing infection prevention measures.
I was very worried about all of you during the days off due to the corona virus. I wonder if you were doing well and doing your best on your homework. Did you sometimes do exercise to maintain your health? I wonder what the new students think about the situation. I wonder if the third year senior high students were worrying about their university entrance exams. I stayed home all day long during the so-called Stay Home holidays, and I was able to share the tedious feelings and stress that you felt because of not going out. While the school was closed, the teachers began training for online studies, as part of the home study for you, studying each other, devising plans using the existing equipment and making preparations. I think that learning how to make most of computers, tablets, or smartphones should be improved regardless of whether the corona virus dies out or not.
I don't think that the life of the home study days was all bad for every one of you. It has given you more time to face yourself, and to reflect on your own behaviors. It means that you can develop a feeling of compassion for others. Do you all know the term 'essential workers'? They are people who work every day with the dangers of infection for medical care, nursing care, logistics, retail stores, and garbage disposal, in order to maintain our social lives. I want you to imagine and appreciate the daily lives of these people. From now on, a new lifestyle will be important. It may be that we have to change our existing values. While taking infection prevention behaviors, we live a life dealing with the corona virus every day. I think that we should do what we have to do in front of us, living with such an attitude as paying attention to the present, and doing what we have to do in front of us. There are many things we have to put up with, but let's do our best together to fully reopen the school after May 25th. And keep in mind, "Never Waste the Crisis."

先日、始業式でも触れましたが、松山からイタリア中部の大学に留学している山本加奈子さんの現地報告の新聞記事です。「住んでいるペルージャという小さな街にコロナウイルスの感染者が増えるにつれて生活が一変した。街ではほぼ人を見かけなくなった。学校は全土で休校になり、授業はオンラインとなった。感染しないようにと注意を払っているが、見えない敵との無期限の戦いは精神的に疲れる。」と。これは20日前の記事ですが、現在イタリアは感染者数がピークに達し、外出禁止令も出ています。彼女だけでなく世界中でこのような思いで過ごしている学生、生徒は多いと思います。皆さんも不安はあろうと思いますが、希望を持って、ここは耐えなければなりません。確かな情報に基づいて正しく行動することが、社会に果たす役割なのです。今私たちは歴史上の大転換点に立っており、戦争を知らない私たちにとって成熟した社会を築くための最大の試練かもしれません。お互いに、頑張りましょう。<br />
コロナ感染が1日も早く終息すること、そして皆さん一人一人が昨年にも増してさらに輝き、今年度も東雲に大輪の花が咲くことを心から祈念しています。<br />

Overlooking the Dogo Plain, the natural world has reached spring without checking a calendar. The cherry blossoms in our schoolyard are also blooming with a face that doesn't know anything about the corona turmoil in the world. I have never looked at the cherry blossoms as severely as this spring. On April 9th, the entrance ceremony was held for 140 new students, including junior and senior high school students, but with proper steps taken to prevent infection; hymns and the school song were stopped, and the scale was reduced. Although only the new students, their parents and the teachers participated, the ceremony was still solemn and inspiring, suitable for our traditional school of 134 years. In particular, the oaths of the representatives for the new junior and senior high school students were very powerful and impressive. Unfortunately, the attendance of the current students could not be realized, but I want the senior students to remember the days when they were the first year students and give a kind and warm welcome to the new students. And be a model that is respected as a senior, and please tell their juniors about the great tradition, dignity and rich school style of Shinonome. In the opening ceremony the other day I mentioned a letter from Kanako Yamamoto who went abroad from Matsuyama. She is now studying at a university in central Italy. "Life has changed dramatically as the number of people infected with coronavirus has increased in the small city of Perugia, where we live. Students have become almost invisible in my neighborhood. Schools have been closed down nationwide and classes have gone online, but the indefinite fight against the invisible enemy has made me mentally tired." This is from a news article from 20 days ago, but the number of infected people has peaked in Italy and there is a curfew now. I think there are many students, not only Ms. Yamamoto but also around the world who are having such thoughts. I guess every one of you is worried, but you have to endure now with hope. It is the role of society to act correctly based on reliable information. Now we may be at a major turning point in world history, and also our greatest test to build a mature society for us war unawares. Let's keep up the good work. I sincerely pray that the corona pandemic will end as soon as possible, and that each of you will shine even more than the last year, and that a large flower will bloom in Shinonome this year.
