第二学期正式开始 ——「缓步启动周」同步启动
从今天起，第二学期正式拉开序幕。没有收到任何重大事故的消息，同学们都精神饱满地来到学校，这样的开学第一天，让我们由衷感到欣喜。
第一节课的开学典礼上，我们首先为游泳部和女子硬式网球部举行了表彰。对于他们在暑假期间各自赛场上发挥出的成果，全校同学以掌声共同致以祝贺。
接着是校长讲话。内容既表达了对大家假期结束后能够精神饱满地重新相聚的喜悦，也希望每一位同学都能将本校的校训「珍惜自己 珍惜身边的人」铭记于心，沉稳地迈出第二学期的第一步。详细内容请另行参阅PDF。
随后，生活指导主任带领大家回顾了暑假的生活方式，并就社交媒体的使用向同学们提出了思考。相信这也是一个契机，让大家把便利背后需要留意的地方，当作与自己切身相关的事来思考。
在这之后，同学们将进行班级活动与正课，用完午餐后放学。此外，从本年度起，为了让大家能够从容地找回校园生活的节奏，截至9月1日（周二）将设为缓步启动周，实行缩短为四节课、午餐后放学的安排。
久别之后重返校园，正是让身心一点一点调整步调的时期。我们会陪伴并守护北棱团队的每一位同学，让大家以自己的节奏，迎接第二学期的开始。

The Autumn Term Begins ― Our "Gentle Start Week" Gets Under Way
Today marks the start of the autumn term. We are delighted to report that there were no accidents to speak of, and that our pupils all arrived at school in good spirits — the happiest possible way to begin.
At the opening ceremony in period one, we first held presentations to recognise the swimming club and the girls' hard tennis club. The whole school came together to applaud the results these pupils achieved in their respective arenas over the summer.
The headteacher then spoke to the pupils. Alongside his pleasure at seeing everyone return safe and well after the holiday, he encouraged each pupil to keep the school's guiding words — "Value yourself, and value the person beside you" — close to heart, and to make a calm, steady start to the new term. Further details are available in the separate PDF.
Next, our head of pupil guidance led a reflection on how the summer holiday had been spent, and posed some questions about the use of social media. We hope it gave pupils a chance to think, as something personal to them, about the points worth minding behind all its convenience.
After this, pupils will take part in form activities and lessons, and will head home once they have had their school lunch. In addition, from this academic year, and up to Tuesday 1 September, we are running a Gentle Start Week — a shortened four-period timetable with pupils going home after lunch — so that everyone can ease back into the rhythm of school life.
Returning to school after time away, this is a period for settling both mind and body back into their pace, little by little. We will be watching over every member of Team Hokuryō as they make their start to the autumn term, each at their own pace.
