December 16th.

This day featured a major event.

First, it was the awards ceremony for students receiving the Perfect Attendance Award, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) Scholarship for International Students, the Kobe Student Youth Center Rokko Scholarship, the Tomifuji Scholarship,
the IFSA International Student Senryu 2025, the “Messages to My Beloved Family” contest, and the Halloween Contest.

It was a joyful ceremony where everyone’s daily efforts took tangible form.
Congratulations to all the award recipients!

Next was the Speech Contest 2025.
This year, it was divided into four categories,
with 21 representatives from each class delivering speeches before everyone.

Every student had practiced diligently leading up to this day.

Some delivered their speeches exactly as planned, while others felt nervous and couldn’t perform at their best.

Regardless, every student’s speech
was warmly received and watched over by everyone in a supportive atmosphere.
Our school’s Speech Contest features student MCs each year.
This year, Pine and Enzal did a great job.

Finally, we held the entrance ceremonies for the July and October students.

We celebrated their enrollment alongside the April students.

Both Yamon, representing the current students, and Ou, representing the new students,
gave wonderful speeches.
