The 2026 first school information session was held on May 9.  In the morning, the DGA information session took place. First, the DGA chief explained the Department of Global Awareness (DGA), and the last year's champion of the recitation contest in Akashi NIshi, Ms. Yoshida, recited a famous speech, 'I have a dream' by Martin Luther King, Jr.

Second, two graduates this spring, Mr. Arai and Ms. Ikeuchi, and two DGA students now talked about school life here at Akashi Nishi.

Then, three ALTs--Shelly, Shaquille, and Brittany--let junior high school students find particular types of students in an activity. 

      After the session,  some of the parents and the junior high school students asked the DGA first-year students questions at the cafeteria.

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.
