Principal’s Message
Dear HIS Community
Congratulations to all of the performers in the Secondary Concert held this afternoon. These performances are the result of a lot of hard work and commitment over an extended period of time and we are very proud of all of our musicians! Also thank you to Takako sensei who so fearlessly leads the students into that daunting uncertainty of getting up on stage.
It was a wonderful start to the Arts Gala and you can also see the Secondary students visual artworks on display in the virtual gallery which can be accessed here. below. Tomorrow, we look forward to the Primary Concert.
We also had an awards ceremony today for the HIS Idol and I would like to thank Jackie and Nami for all of their work on that great event which was an excellent lead-up to the Spring Concert.
When we start talking about the Spring Concert, we know the end of year is fast approaching and this is always a busy time. For this reason, I thought that this TED Talk raises some interesting points for us to consider. Enjoy some less-busy time on the weekend.
Kind regards
Damian Rentoule

Arts Gala (Secondary Visual Arts)
Dear secondary parents, （日本語は英語の下にあります）
As a part of the Arts Gala 2022, I would like to invite you to the HIS secondary visual arts virtual exhibition. All the secondary visual arts students have been enjoying their creative journey and you will be able to witness their growth through their artworks. Although I could not include works by Grade 11 and Grade 12 students as they will be submitting their works to the IB officially, artworks by students in Grade 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are exhibited. This year, it will be held virtually by using the online exhibition space. I have explained how to use the system in class so please ask your child if you have difficulty navigating the virtual space. The link to the virtual exhibition space can be found in the flyer attached. I hope you all enjoy!
Sincerely, Ms K (Ayako Kurokawa) Secondary Visual Arts teacher

◆ HIS IDOL HISアイドル
Did you enjoy the HIS IDOL Competition on Zoom last Sunday? The HIS IDOL awards ceremony was held today before lunch. Although HIS IDOL is a school-sponsored event, this year’s HIS IDOL was held online as it was last year. Everyone knows Jackie Ikegami (mother of Mairi who graduated in May 2021). Jackie played a central role in supporting the arrangements of HIS IDOL in previous years. She generously organised HIS IDOL with Nami Ohata (G1 Soma’s mother) for HIS children again this year. We would like to thank Jackie and Nami for their wonderful work. Thank you for your willingness to make an effort so our children can have a great time.
We would like to express our gratitude to Jackie by sending her a present from the PTA.
先週日曜日にZoomで行われたHIS IDOLの本戦はお楽しみになりましたか? 本日金曜日のランチ前の時間にHIS IDOLの表彰式が行われました。HIS IDOLは学校主催のイベントではありますが、今年のHIS IDOLも昨年に引き続きオンライン開催となったことから、皆さまご存知のJackie Ikegamiさん (昨年2021年5月に卒業されたMairi さんのお母様。Mairiさんが在校中はJackieさんが中心になってHIS IDOLの開催を支えてくださいました) がHISの子供たちのためにNami Ohataさん (G1 Soma くんのお母様)と一緒にHIS IDOLの開催を一からサポートしてくださいました。あらためてJackieさん、Namiさんに感謝申し上げます。子供たちの楽しい時間作りに快く貢献してくださり、ありがとうございました。
Jackieさんには感謝の気持ちを込めてPTAよりプレゼントをお送りさせていただきました。
