A welcome meeting was held on April 15, 2026.  The second-year students and the third-year students welcomed the first-year students with a big round of applause, when they entered the second-floor room of the alumni hall named Kisho Kaikan.

After Principal Matsuno gave them a welcome speech and ALTs and teachers introduced themselves, the first-year students were split into small groups and their seniors began describing school life at Akashi Nishi Senior High School . The first-year students listened eagerly to the senior students' explanations including English classes, school events, and overseas trips.
