道南支部英語弁論大会

　９月18日（土）、第５９回函館地区高等学校英語弁論大会が函館商業高校にて行われました。道南の高等学校に属する高校生計１２人が集まり、各生徒が自作のスピーチを英語で発表しました。本校からは黒谷心優（３年）が出場し、個人3位という素晴らしい成績を収めました。目指していた「全道大会出場（１・２位の生徒のみ招待）」の夢は叶いませんでしたが、本人にとって大きく成長するきっかけとなる非常に有意義な時間だったと思います。是非これからも後輩たちが続いてほしいものです。

[THE 59TH ALL HAKODATE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH SPEECH CONTEST]

On September 18th (Tuesday), 59th Hakodate Area High School English Speech Contest took place at Hakodate Industrial High School. A total of 12 students who belong to high schools in the southern part of Hokkaido got together and they delivered their speeches in English.

Miyu Kurotani, a third year of our school, was there and she won the third place. She could not get to go onto All Hokkaido Convention (where all the winners from every area in the prefecture assemble and compete) as only the top two students (first and second place) get to the next stage. Miyu Kurotani had made all her efforts to win the first place staying late practicing her speech at school every day. Although the result was not the one she had aimed for, this must be such a significant experience for her.
