Principal’s Message
Dear HIS Community
I hope you have all had a good week. On Wednesday, I sent out a whole-school email letting everyone know that we will be canceling the HIS Festival and postponing the HIS Idol. Many thanks to Jackie, Yasuko, Maki, Hanae, Eriko, and Sachie for all the initial preparations for the Festival and we look forward to taking up from where we left off next year. On Friday, I sent a message regarding a school closure next week. Just in case you missed it, here it is:
We have a range of smaller events that take place in more controlled environments which will still go ahead. Examples are the Memories Photography Exhibition and the Diploma Program Visual Arts Exhibition, which involve small numbers of people in a controlled space.
In an IB program, we are always looking for real-life examples to apply our developing understandings of the world. The current Coronavirus situation is a great example, particularly in a world where increased levels of fear can equate to increased ratings which can drive representations of issues in the media. Today’s TED Talk looks at the reporting of risk where the sharing of relative risk or absolute risk is a clear choice an editor or producer will make for very specific reasons. As you view the barrage of statistics in the media, can you spot which ones are being presented? If so, you will be in a better position to critically evaluate the information you are being presented with. I hope you are enjoying the weekend.
Regards
Damian Rentoule

FESTIVAL NEWS フェスティバルについて実行委員会からのお知らせ
We are as sad as everyone else that the Festival will have to be cancelled this year. Thanks to all who have helped us with the preparations so far, and who had volunteered for roles with responsibilities.
We are sorry that we can’t get moving this year, but what we have learned we can hopefully put to good use next year after this all calms down. We will keep a record of all the suggestions for games and activities so we can use them next time.
昨日校長先生より連絡があった通り、今年のフェスティバルはキャンセルせざるを得なくなりました。これまで開催に向け協力いただいた皆さん、ボランティアとして手を挙げてくださっていた皆さん、どうもありがとうございました。本当に残念でなりませんが、今年の学びは来年に向け、ぜひ生かしていきたいと思います。また、皆さんからいただいたゲームやブースのアイデアも、来年のフェスティバルでぜひ使いましょう。
Flyer Design チラシのデザインについて
I would like to share with you the great design that Sojiro and Amy came up with for the Festival this year. We plan to use this design next year if we are able to hold the Festival and the fact that we already have the design will get the ball rolling that much quicker. Huge thanks to Sojiro, Amy and Ms. K for their work and help with this.
11年生のSojiroくんとAmyさんが、素敵なデザインを考えてくれました。今年は残念ですが、来年のフェスティバルでぜひ使用したいと思います。もう印刷するのみの状態なので、来年の準備は早くできますね。Sojiroくん、Amyさん、ありがとうございます！
¥100 Shop 100円ショップからのお知らせ
Thank you to all those who have donated items for the ¥100 shop already. We will now stop collecting items, so please do not bring any more into school. With respect to items that have already been donated, if you would like to pick up the items and take them back home, please let me know by the end of March.
We are still discussing whether we can keep everything at school until next year, or whether to donate the items to a recycle shop or some other alternative. We hope not to have to throw anything out, but if you cannot pick them up, then we will assume that you are leaving that decision up to us.
Thanks again. Yasuko.
皆さんもご存知の通り、今年のインターナショナルフェスティバルは中止になりました。
それに伴い、寄付の受け付けも中止させて頂きます。
そこで、既に寄付してくださっている方におうかがいします。
今年はフェスティバルがないなら引き取って自宅に持ち帰りたいという希望はありませんか？
ありましたら、３月中に連絡していただきたいと思います。
来年まで保管するかリサイクルショップに持ち込むか、今後のことはまだ決定していません。
処分する方向では考えていませんが、その判断も一任をよろしくお願いします。

Advertising and Sponsorship 広告・スポンサーについて
Thank you to those who had agreed to place adverts on the flyer and donate items as prizes. We will now no longer need those contributions, and will return any that have already been collected, but watch this space next year! 😘
フェスティバルの広告掲載を申し出て下さった方、賞品を寄付してくださった方、どうもありがとうございました。残念ながらフェスティバルの開催が中止となったため、すでにお渡しいただいた賞品はお返しいたします。来年度も応援いただければ幸いです。
Outside Vendors 外部ショップ出店受け付け中止のお知らせ
Thank you to everyone who was helping us to find outside vendors for the festival. As the festival has been canceled, we will no longer be accepting applications, and if you have already asked people to run a booth at the event, we would be very grateful if you could let them know the situation, with our apologies, and ask them to consider next year as an option instead. Thanks in advance for your help.
フェスティバルでの外部からの出店として、お知り合いのお店等へのお声掛け、ご依頼をご検討くださっていた皆さま、フェスティバル中止につき、出店の受け付けを中止させていただきます。既にお声掛けくださっていたお店の皆さまには、重ねてお詫び申し上げますとともに、ぜひ来年の開催時にはまた出店をご検討いただけますよう、お伝えのほど、よろしくお願い申し上げます。
Let’s hope that the measures that are being taken to control the spread of this coronavirus will be effective and that we can all get through it with no-one at HIS being affected, and get back to normal as soon as possible!
今回講じられた対策が功を奏し、HISコミュニティーの皆さんに影響が最小限に抑えられ、できるだけ早く通常の生活に戻ることができますように。
Thanks again,
皆さん、本当にご協力ありがとうございました。
