Konan High School :: SGH

Sarina Yamashita, who is a 2nd-year student, reported her experience in "The International Science School (the ISS)" which was held in Sydney in this summer to the principal. She was chosen as one of the nine representatives of Japan and came back to Kagoshima last Sunday.

While she was participated in the ISS, she said she had great expereiences there. "Students came from a various countries such as UK, Singapore, China, Thailand and of course Australia. I found I was able to make myself understood in English more than I'd expected," she reported, "and I'd like to make more efforts to fulfill my dream." She also said that she stayed at a dormitory of Sydney University with three Australians.

She also talked about the lectures she took in the programme and showed some pictures she took in Sydney University or streets. Hope she'd improve her skills more and more!

In the Principal's room with Mr. Arishima, who is in charge of ESS.

We welcomed three honorable teachers from Kagoshima University, Onjo sensei, Mun'de sensei and Hasegawa sensei, and one teacher from Glocal Academy, Mr. Okamoto, who recently came back from Oxford Univ.

Students prepared really a lot for the presenation. Everybody explained the current problems and possible solutions for them in English. They also asked questions and the speaker answered them.

The aim of SGH programme is provided at http://www.sghc.jp/en/ as below: 

The Super Global High School Program aims to foster global leaders who will play an active role in the world through education at high schools and other institutions that contributes to that mission. Students are equipped with an awareness and deep knowledge of social issues, communication and problem-solving skills, and other globally competitive skills.

High schools and other institutions certified as Super Global High School define their ideal global leader profile. They conduct multidisciplinary, comprehensive and exploratory studies on global social and business issues, in collaboration with domestic and international universities that promote globalization as well as companies and international organizations.

This program requires high school students to conduct fieldwork on a research theme inside and outside the country as part of learning activities, in order to broaden their views and pursue their goals. 

The main goal of Konan High School SGH programme is to foster 21 century Satsuma Students, who would play a vital role in the coming new era as Satsuma Students. However, who are Satsuma students? Here is the brief explantion (it is taken from the website of Embassy of Japan, UK );

Some 150 years ago, nineteen young men and boys secretly visited UK to investiage British advanced technologies. After the secret voyage, they played significant roles at the times of the Meiji Restoration.
