１０月１７日（日）午前11：00より、創立７０周年記念式典が挙行されました。新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大防止の観点から開催自体が危ぶまれましたが、北海道教育委員会委員　山本伸弘様をはじめ、長万部町長　木幡正志様、黒松内副町長　佐藤雅彦様などご来賓の方々にご臨席を賜り、無事に開催することができました。この式典では運営する協賛会役員が受付業務や司会進行等を行うため、前日の夜にリハーサルを行うなど入念な準備をしてきました。また、本校の歴史を紡いできた歴代校長や元ＰＴＡ会長にもご臨席いただき、表彰者として、その場で賞状を読み上げることを省略し不十分ではありましたが、ご紹介をさせていただきました。

式典の後半では、前生徒会長中込葵さんが礼儀正しく堂々と挨拶をし、最後に演奏した吹奏楽部による「小さな祝典音楽」は爽やかな風が会場に満ちあふれ、とても感動的に式典のフィナーレを飾りました。さらに会場である体育館に行くまでの廊下には卒業生がデザインを考案し、生徒が作ったアート作品が展示され、式典に花を添えることができました。 

開催にあたり、ご協力いただいた協賛会の皆様をはじめ、本校教職員、関係者の皆様、生徒の諸君、本当にありがとうございました。

[Celebration of 70th Anniversary of Foundation of School]
On October 17th (Sun),we celebrated the 70th anniversary of the foundation of our school. Those who were there to celebrate included a member of Hokkaido Board of Education(Nobuhiro Yamamoto), The mayor of Oshamambe (Masashi Kihata), The deputy mayor of Kuromatsunai Town (Masahiko Sato), and the list goes on. In order for the ceremony to be thoroughly ready, we rehearsed the night before. Some of the former principals of Oshamambe High School and two former presidents of PTA of the school also attended the ceremony. I, the current principal of the school, was deeply honored to introduce their names in front of all the participants.

　We spent the latter part of the ceremony with a great speech given by the former leader of the school council, Aoi Nakagome (a 3rd year student), and last but not least, the brass band club performed "A Little Festive Music," which made us really feel like a gentle breeze came floating into the place. Then finally, such wonderful performance allowed the ceremony to end successfully and happily.

　I should not forget to mention the splendid work created by several students of the school, which you would not have missed as you had walked on your way out in the hall.

　Here, once again, I would like to thank everybody, not just who were there with us on the special occasion but also who had spent their time and effort building the very foundation of the school before its whole history began.

　去る10月7日（木）三学年の総合的な探究の時間に、長万部町保健福祉課の澤口夏澄様をはじめ、３名の保健師さんをお迎えし、心とからだの健康学習を実施しました。

　事前学習で妊婦さんの大変さや、赤ちゃんの世話をすることの難しさを体験してから聴くお話は、とてもためになり、現在パパでもある男性保健師の深川光彦様の沐浴デモンストレーションは、特に男子生徒がくぎ付けになり、『赤ちゃん人形でも大変そうなのに、実際に動いたり泣いたりする赤ちゃんはもっと大変だと思うので沢山練習してから子どもを作りたい』などの感想も寄せられました。

　また、保健師さんが町民みんなのために様々な役割を担ってくれていることを知り、自分たちもいざという時には、相談したり頼ったりすることができるという安心感も生まれたようです。

[Lecture on Taking Care of Baby]

On October 7th, Ms. Sawada and two other health nurses from Health Welfare Department in Oshamambe Town Hall, came to our school, and gave a lesson to the third year students on mental and physical health.
　Since the third year had already learned about how hard it is to take care of babies, stories told in the lesson appeared even more meaningful to them. A demonstration of giving a bath to a baby was given by Mr. Fukagawa, a health nurse who has a baby, and it attracted great attention from the students, in particular the boys. One of the students said that it seemed difficult to give a bath to a baby, so that real babies would be even harder to do so as they would move and cry – presumably, a lot. And the student also added “I want to have a baby after I have practiced a lot for it.”

　去る10月4日（月）三学年の総合的な探究の時間に、こころとからだの健康学習の事前学習を行いました。

　妊婦体験シミュレーターを使って、臨月の身体の重さや動き辛さを体感したり、首の座っていない赤ちゃん人形にミルクをあげたりおむつを取り替えたりする難しさを体験しました。

　また、現在子育て真っ最中の先生方や奥様に生徒たちからアンケートを行い、日常生活での大変さや、子どもの可愛さ、大切さをリアルに感じる事のできる回答をもらい、学習後のアンケートには『自分もこんなに大変な思いをして育てられたのかということが分かり感謝の気持ちが湧いてきた。』『自分は生む立場ではないがパートナーとしてしっかり支えてあげたい』など沢山の感想が寄せられ、大変意義深い学びの時間となりました。

[Learning What It Is like to Raise a Baby]　
On October 4th, a preliminary to Mental and Physical Health Study took place for the third year students.

　They learned hardships of pregnancy; using some pregnancy simulators, they experienced how heavy one can feel being pregnant, how difficult one will feel moving around with a baby inside them, and also how tough it is to give milk to a baby with their neck not stable.

　Also, the students had a chance to learn what it is really like to have a child (especially very young); they had asked some mothers around (e.g., a wife of one of the teachers) questions about having a baby. The firsthand answers (with real experiences the mothers had been through) told the students about adorableness as well as hardships of having a baby/babies. Reading them, one student said “my parents has been raising me with much more efforts than I ever possibly imagined. Now, I am so grateful to my parents.” Another said “I never get to give birth to a baby myself (as I am a man), but I will stand by my future spouse.”
　These comments (with all the others aside for the sake of space) make obvious that it was a meaningful time for the students.

　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.
