全校集会 ―― 关注"光与影"的想象力

4月28日（星期一），学校在体育馆举行了全校集会。虽然正值黄金周期间、上课日断断续续，但今天早上同学们依然精神饱满地来到了学校。天空虽然云层较厚，气候却十分宜人，走在上学路上的同学们步伐轻快。

集会上，校长围绕4月28日这个日期，讲述了一段与历史有关的话题。1952年的今天，《旧金山和约》正式生效，日本恢复了主权。然而与此同时，冲绳等地区仍被置于美国的管辖之下，冲绳回归日本已是1972年的事。同一天、同一件事，有人将其视为"恢复主权之日"，也有人将其称为"屈辱之日"。校长细致地介绍了这一史实。

话题随后延伸到了同学们的日常生活。和朋友们开心相处的时光，对于无法融入的人来说，或许看起来完全不同。一句不经意的玩笑，对说的人来说只是随口一提，对听的人来说却可能久久难以释怀。自己眼中的"光"，是否正在成为别人眼中的"影"——校长希望同学们能在这方面发挥想象力。静静坐在体育馆里聆听的同学们，从他们的神情中可以感受到，每个人都在认真思考着什么。

新学年开始将近一个月，正是逐渐适应新班级的时候。也正因为如此，这次集会成为了大家重新审视自己言行的一个宝贵契机。下一次全校集会定于黄金周后的5月11日（星期一），届时将围绕"思考欺凌与生命"这一主题展开。希望同学们在假期中注意身体，以饱满的精神回到校园。

School Assembly: The Imagination to See Both Light and Shadow

On Monday 28 April, a whole-school assembly was held in the gymnasium. Although Golden Week means school days are dotted here and there this week, pupils arrived in good spirits this morning. The sky was overcast, but the weather was mild, and there was a brisk energy in the students' step as they made their way to school.

The headteacher's address centred on the historical significance of 28 April. On this date in 1952, the San Francisco Peace Treaty came into effect and Japan regained its sovereignty. At the same time, however, Okinawa and other regions remained under American administration; Okinawa was not returned to Japan until 1972. The same day and the same event can be seen as a "day of restored sovereignty" by some and a "day of humiliation" by others. The headteacher introduced these facts with care and sensitivity.

From there, the talk moved closer to the pupils' everyday lives. A group of friends enjoying themselves may not realise that the same moment looks entirely different to someone who feels left out. A casual remark, harmless to the person who said it, can stay with the person who heard it for a long time. The core message was clear: we should all use our imagination to consider whether our own "light" might be casting a "shadow" on someone else. As the pupils sat quietly in the gymnasium listening, many appeared deep in thought.

Nearly a month has passed since the start of the new school year, and pupils are settling into their new classes. Precisely because things are becoming more comfortable, the assembly offered a timely reminder to reflect on how we use our words. The next whole-school assembly is scheduled for Monday 11 May, after the Golden Week break, when the theme will be "Thinking about Bullying and the Value of Life." We hope all pupils enjoy a restful holiday and return to school in good health.
