Commendations for the Cultural Arts Festival at the All-School Assembly
This week’s All-School Assembly also began with commendations.
On October 18–19 at the Osaka City Central Public Hall (Nakanoshima), we recognized the Tea Ceremony Club for its tea ceremony demonstration and the Home Economics exhibit presented at the Cultural Arts Festival.
With the morning chill, many students wore their winter uniforms.
The principal spoke about influenza precautions and the upcoming Cultural Festival.
This week is Cultural Festival Week.
Although the program for 1st-year students has been postponed, please take good care of your health and keep doing your best.

Principal’s Address (October 28, 2025)
Good morning, everyone.
Today’s all-school assembly also began with commendations.
I feel truly proud when your daily efforts take shape like this and are recognized with awards.
This week, our Cultural Festival Week finally begins.
It feels like our Sports Day just ended, and already the next stage is here.
With the change of seasons, mornings have become noticeably colder.
Please be even more mindful of your health than usual.
In fact, we had temporary class closures in the 3rd year last week, and this week a 1st-year class has also been closed.
Not only here at Hokuryō, but across Osaka City’s elementary and junior high schools, 83 classes were closed last week, according to reports.
I’ve heard the number may be even higher this week.
Let’s recall the COVID era: wash your hands frequently, gargle, and ventilate rooms well.
Especially during choir practice, air out the room often, and be mindful of spacing and the direction you’re facing.
I’m impressed to see so many of you gathering for early-morning choir practice.
As a class and as a grade, joining forces toward one shared goal—experiences like this are actually rare in life.
They are precious moments.
And it’s okay if your finished work or your choir performance isn’t “perfect.”
What matters most is the path you take to create it—the process.
The ingenuity you show, the candid dialogue when you clash and then overcome differences, and the way you support one another—those are what help you grow the most.
Let me share a phrase I’d like you to remember.
Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, left us these words:
“The journey is the reward.”
“Journey” can be read here as “the path,” and “reward” means a prize or something earned.
In other words, “the path itself is the reward.”
Rather than chasing only the result, this reminds us that the preparation, the effort, and the challenges you take on with your peers are valuable in and of themselves.
As you prepare for the Cultural Festival—in your classes and your clubs—please savor that process.
What you accomplished today, what improved from yesterday, the moments when you truly connected with your friends—each of these will become solid nourishment for your future.
Let’s make this Cultural Festival Week a great success across all of Hokuryō Junior High.
I’m cheering for each of your “journeys.” That is all.
