全校集会 ー总合文化祭表彰与校长讲话ー
我校举行了全校集会。首先表彰了在第35届大阪市中学校综合文化祭上展出优秀作品的同学。获奖的家庭科同学之后，美术部的同学也陆续被叫到名字。大家在"恭喜"的祝福声和掌声中走上前来，日常点滴的积累终于结出了成果，学校也由衷地为他们感到高兴。
随后的校长讲话回顾了虽被天气左右、仍顺利举办的体育大会。体育大会决定延期时，校长向大家宣布"将完整举行，不删减、不缩短"，现场立刻响起欢呼与掌声。比赛当天，无论是竞技、加油，还是赛后整理，大家都全力以赴，校长对此表示了感谢。
校长还介绍了讨论全球变暖等问题的国际会议"COP31"的新闻。这场会议不采用表决方式，无论大国小国，都各抒己见，共同寻找落脚点。由此谈到，有人期待体育大会，也可能有人并非如此。校长提醒大家，在声音大的人身后，是否藏着小小的声音，自己是否真正倾听了与自己不同的意见。校长表示，这也是自己想要铭记的事。
体育大会上响亮的加油声令人难忘。今后，我们也将珍惜教室里那些小小的声音，相互认可各种不同的想法，一起把学校建设成"明天也想来的学校"。

All-School Assembly: Honouring Success at the Arts Festival, and the Principal’s Address
We held an all-school assembly. It began with the presentation of awards to students who showed outstanding work at the 35th Osaka City Junior High School Comprehensive Arts Festival. Students recognised in the home economics category were called forward first, followed by members of the Art Club. Surrounded by cheers of “Congratulations!” and warm applause, they could see their everyday efforts take shape, and we at school are delighted for them.
In his address, the Principal then looked back on the Sports Day, which went ahead safely despite being disrupted by the weather. When the postponement was announced, he told students that the event would be held in full, with nothing cut or shortened, and he remembered the cheers and applause that followed. On the day itself, students gave their all in the events, in their support for one another and in the clearing-up afterwards, and he thanked them for it.
He also spoke about the news of COP31, the international conference on global warming and related issues. The conference reaches its decisions without a vote, with large and small countries alike sharing their views and working towards common ground. This led him to a question: some students may have looked forward to Sports Day, but perhaps not everyone did. He asked students to consider whether quiet voices might be hidden behind louder ones, and whether we truly listen to opinions that differ from our own. He added that this is something he wants to keep in mind himself.
The cheering on Sports Day was truly memorable. From here, we will keep cherishing the quiet voices in our classrooms, respect one another’s different views, and build together a school that students look forward to coming back to tomorrow.
