Yamasaki High School DAY BY DAY

A Report on Graduation Ceremony

投稿日時 : 2019/03/31  校長 
On the 28th of February 2019 Yamasaki Senior High School held their Graduation ceremony. The students of the third grade that had successfully passed all the prerequisites of the school, finally received their diplomas of completion today. 

With many family members and friends in attendance, the ceremony started with wonderful music provided by Yamasaki Senior High School’s accomplished brass band, with the graduating students entering in fine order. The students and attendees were welcomed and each graduating student was individually introduced. The ceremony then proceeded with the upmost formality and respect that Japan is renowned for. The National Anthem and school song were sung, and this was followed by speeches of encouragement, and recognition for all the students had achieved over the three years.

Student representatives both gave speeches recalling many of the highlights of their time at Yamasaki Senior High School, and many students were moved to tears. Although it is a time of celebration, it is also a time of reflection and an acknowledgment that relationships will change as they all follow their individual pursuits in life. Many students will be attending universities and colleges across the country, while others will begin careers in employment, so there was inevitable sadness in parting ways.

During the school year of 2018 (April 2018 - March 2019), the English Teachers' Association Nishi Harima Branch published 10 issues of English Newsletter (Volume 3). We started this project in May 2016, and since then we have published 30 issues of this English Newsletter in order to promote communication among ALTs and JTEs in Nishi Harima area. We don't exactly know how many teachers have contributed to our publication activity so far, but we have come to know that many teachers are struggling with their daily teaching practices to improve students' English abilities at their own schools, thereby developing English Education culture in this area.  Please enjoy reading the Volume Three of our Newsletter. Volume 1 and 2, 10 issues each, are carried at the English Page of Kanzaki High School.

Thank you very much for visiting our website of Yamasaki High School. We now declare that we will open a new age and page for the development of our school, focusing on the trend for a more globalized and international society. At this English Page and Weblog, we would like to report what is happening at Yamasaki High School in English on a weekly basis (hopefully on a daily basis), especially focusing on the creative activities by the students. Our ALT, Mr.Philip Wilby, and Japanese English teachers are ready to write reports about the various aspects of the school. Of course, I am also looking forward to writing some reports with the introductions of this historical area and a lot of natural beauties. I do hope that all of you will enjoy reading our English website. Thank you.

Hisaaki Harada,
37th Principal of Hyogo Prefectural Yamasaki High School
