Hello! This is the first time to visit Seishin after graduation. My university is all English,
so I’m writing Japanese after a long time. Speaking is more important than writing and
reading in learning English,I think. Moreover,the ability to communicate is so important.
It is necessary to communicate with people to live. If you go out of Hirosima in the
future，dialect of Hiroshima is so popular with people from other prefectures.

Ⅱ． Election Administration Committee

Our committee carried out the election of the student council to elect the student council president and vice-president. Also, we put trial election into action. It is very hard to work, but also challenging work.

Please look forward to our blog being updated.

I. Student Council Committee

Our committee usually works on activities about international exchange and peace operations in order that our students are able to participate in them actively. But we also work for whatever makes our school better. For example, we set up some suggestion boxes, and try to adopt opinions from the students. Here is the box for collecting opinions. It says, “I will listen to your voices.”

April 16, Naga High School students came from the Philippines. Here they are making a presentation about their country with traditional dancing and singing in front of the first-year students. It was very exciting. After that our students introduced things about our school, Japanese food, sports, and idols and so on. I wish they had a nice time to make friendship. I hope they will enjoy their time in our school.

Today the 1^st-year junior high school students started their first full day of class.

Here they are in their English classes practicing pronunciation and self-introduction in English with their English teachers, Sr. Corripio and Mr. Mahood.  All paid close attention and made their best effort.  With such focus, they will learn quickly!

Influenza was raging in our school a few weeks ago. Not only students but also teachers suffered from influenza. Owing to an epidemic of influenza, one of the first year classes was sent home.

There are some simple things you can do to prevent transmission of an influenza virus, for example wash your hands and gargle. Among such ways to protect you from disease, I think it is the most important thing to keep regular hours.

I want to be always careful to get exercise, eat a good meal, and take a good rest in order to stay healthy.

Welcome to Notre Dame Seishin!
Three members of the Sisters of Notre Dame Leadership team visited our school on January 12. They gave us messages. Sister Masheti spoke to us using our principal and other Sisters, so her story was easy for us to understand.
The contents of her story is about school life: to work together with others.
Her story impressed us. That was a chance to think about our school life and our friends.

In Shogatsu, which means New Year’s Day in Japanese, Japanese people always eat “Osechi” and go to the New Year’s first visit to a shrine.

“Osechi” are special New Year’s dishes. Various kinds of beautiful dishes are set in four fired lacquer boxes. Each of the dishes has some auspicious meaning which reflects people’s several wishes, such as good health, happiness, long life and so on.

Many Japanese pay the New Year’s first visit to a shrine during the first three days of January in order to give thanks that we welcome the Happy New Year and make traditional New Year’s wishes for good health and happiness.

Therefore, “Shogatsu” is a very important day for Japanese people.

On the third day of our school excursion to Okinawa, we visited Sakima museum and Chibichiri-gama in which people took refuge when bombs were dropped during the WWⅡ and heard about the Battle of Okinawa and the American military base in the morning.
At the night we learned about the crime and accidents from the American serviceperson at the hotel.

In the afternoon, we divided into seven groups and learned through experiences.
One group made traditional food.
Other went to the sea in order to study about living things in Okinawa.

We learned culture and nature in Okinawa and the Battle of Okinawa.
On the final day of excursion in Okinawa, we went to Okinawa Prefectural Museum and Kokusai Street.

First, at Okinawa Prefectural Museum, we learned about the history and ecosystem of Okinawa.

Next, on the Kokusai Street, we in some groups spent our time to visit where each wanted to go. We bought souvenirs for our family and friends, then we had lunch that you can eat only in Okinawa.

Through this trip, we were able to know well about the past and present of Okinawa.
