仪表，是传递自我的第一步 ― 三年级学年集会

三年级举行了学年集会，主题是关于仪表。

集会一开始，老师介绍了位于千叶县的著名主题公园——迪士尼乐园里演艺人员（Cast）的故事。在迪士尼乐园，为了让每一位来访的客人都能舒心地度过愉快时光，关于发型、胡须、指甲、隐形眼镜等仪容方面，都设有细致的标准。发型、指甲的长度、指甲油的颜色等，也都有一定的规范。这并不是为了束缚谁，而是为了让来访的客人感到安心、留下良好的印象，守护这个充满梦想的空间。

接着，生活指导主任老师以这个故事为引，谈到了校园生活中的仪表。标准服的纽扣、皮带、衬衫的穿法，看似都是微不足道的细节，但却会改变留给他人的印象。也许有人会想：「不就是一颗纽扣」「稍微一点没关系吧」。然而，正是在这些细小之处，常常会显露出一个人平日的意识与态度。

对三年级的同学来说，接下来将迎来高中入学考试与面试，正是关键的时期。在面试中，谈话的内容固然重要。「我想在这所高中学习」「我想努力做这件事」——能用自己的语言表达这些心情，是非常重要的。但是，生活指导主任老师指出，在话语之前，最先传达给对方的，其实是第一印象。

也有人说「不能以貌取人」。这话确实没错。然而，初次见面时，要让对方立刻完全理解自己的内心，几乎是不可能的。正因如此，仪表是为了把自己的优点准确传递给对方的重要准备。平时做不到的事，想在重要的当天一下子做到完美，并不容易。所以，每天早上出门前，稍微照一下镜子。纽扣有没有扣好，服装是否整齐，自己确认一下。这样小小的习惯的积累，会在关键时刻成为支撑自己的力量。

——以上，是生活指导主任老师的讲话内容。

整理仪表，并不是因为会被批评才去做，而是为了更好地展现自己，把自己的心意准确地传达给对方。而这一份心意，也正与本校所珍视的「珍惜自己　珍惜身边的人」的态度，悄然相连。希望以今天这场集会为契机，三年级的每一位同学，都能稍稍留意自己的仪容，迎接沉稳的校园生活，做好升学的准备。

Personal Appearance: The First Step in Expressing Yourself ― Third-Year Assembly

At the third-year assembly, students listened to a talk about personal appearance.

The teacher began by introducing the Cast Members who work at the famous theme park in Chiba Prefecture, Disneyland. At Disneyland, in order to ensure that every guest enjoys a pleasant experience, detailed standards are set regarding appearance — including hairstyles, beards, nails, and even contact lenses. There are also specific rules about hair length, nail length, and nail color. These rules are not meant to restrict anyone. Rather, they exist to give guests a sense of comfort and a positive impression, helping to protect a space filled with dreams.

Drawing on this story, the head of student guidance then spoke about personal appearance in school life. Small details — the buttons of a school uniform, a belt, the way a shirt is worn — may seem trivial, but they can change the impression we give to others. Some may think, "It's just one button," or, "A little bit is fine." Yet it is often in these small details that a person's everyday attitude and awareness quietly reveal themselves.

For third-year students, this is an important time as they begin to prepare for high school entrance examinations and interviews. In an interview, of course, what you say matters. Being able to express in your own words — "I want to study at this school," "This is what I want to work hard at" — is extremely important. But the head of student guidance reminded students that, before any words are spoken, the very first thing communicated to the other person is the first impression.

There is a saying: "Don't judge people by appearance." That is certainly true. However, when meeting someone for the first time, it is impossible for them to immediately understand everything inside you. That is precisely why personal appearance is an important preparation — a way to properly convey the best of yourself to others. It is not easy to suddenly be perfect on the day itself when you have not made it a daily habit. So, before leaving the house each morning, take a brief look in the mirror. Check whether your buttons are fastened and your clothes are neat. The quiet accumulation of such small habits is what supports us when it truly matters.

― This concludes the message from the head of student guidance.

Tidying one's appearance is not something we do because we might be scolded. It is a way to present ourselves well, and to deliver our true feelings to others. And that quiet effort, in turn, connects to the spirit our school holds dear: "Value yourself, and value the person beside you." We hope that today's talk will be a chance for each third-year student to become a little more aware of how they present themselves, leading to a calm school life and steady preparation for the path ahead.
