On April 12, Sendai Nika proudly hosted the International Baccalaureate (IB) Opening Ceremony to welcome the new cohort of Year 1 students and their families.
The event commenced at 9:30 AM with opening addresses by the Principal and a representative from the High School Education Division of Miyagi Prefecture, who warmly greeted the incoming students and shared words of encouragement for the journey ahead. This was followed by a speech from a Year 1 student, who addressed her determination to work hard in the IB course. Next, a Year 2 senior offered valuable insights and advice on navigating the IB curriculum.
Mr. Jinushi, our IB Coordinator, then delivered a heartfelt speech, extending his best wishes to the Year 1 students and their parents. He highlighted the core values of the IB Programme and encouraged students to embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Parents of Year 2 students, along with the full faculty of IB subject teachers, were also present for the occasion.
The ceremony continued with the formal introduction of the subject teachers, each of whom gave a brief message to the students. This created a warm and supportive atmosphere, marking the beginning of an exciting academic journey.
Following the speeches, students, parents, and staff gathered for group photographs to commemorate the day. After a short break, a Theory of Knowledge (TOK) session was conducted. This session served as an evaluation of the growth and progress of Year 2 students and also provided important guidance on the procedures and expectations for Year 1 students as they begin their TOK journey. The Principal and other distinguished guests were present during the session, emphasizing the importance of TOK in the IB Diploma Programme.
It was a heartwarming and memorable event that set a positive tone for the new academic year. We look forward to a year filled with growth, learning, and shared achievements.
