9月4日、待ちに待った文化祭が開催されました！
 

　あいにくの雨となりましたが、生徒たちの熱気には関係なし！本来、外で行われる予定だったステージ企画は急きょ剣道場へ移動。それでも会場には入りきれないほど多くの人が集まり、次々と登場する人気企画に大きな歓声が上がりました。

　そして体育館では、吹奏楽部やバンド、有志によるダンスやパフォーマンスなど、盛りだくさんのステージが繰り広げられました。会場はまさに熱気いっぱい！出演する生徒も、それを応援する生徒も、みんなで一緒になって盛り上がり、体育館が揺れるような大歓声が響きました。

　中学棟では、中学1年生が「唐津の産業」をテーマにした探究学習の発表を行いました。グループごとに調べたことをプレゼンテーションにまとめ、スライドや動画を使って堂々と発表。中学2・3年生によるフードフェスでは、地域の方々にもご協力いただき、さまざまな食べ物が並びました。実行委員会の企画や部活動の企画もあり、中学生も文化祭を思いっきり楽しみました。

　高校棟では、各クラスが趣向を凝らした企画を展開。カジノやお化け屋敷、カフェなど、教室ごとに全く違った世界が広がり、人気の企画には長い行列ができるほど！友達と一緒に教室を回ったり、企画を楽しんだり、校内は最後までたくさんの笑顔であふれていました。

　さらに理科棟にも楽しい企画が集合。サイエンス部では生物・実験・ロボット・映像の展示や体験が行われ、「プレゼン道場」では中高生がそれぞれのテーマについてプレゼンテーションを披露しました。

　今回の文化祭を作り上げたのは、もちろん生徒たち自身。実行委員会を中心に、クラス企画や学年企画、ステージ発表など、それぞれがアイデアを出し、準備を重ねてきました。

　雨にも負けず、笑って、叫んで、食べて、歌って、踊って――。生徒たちの「やってみたい！」と「楽しみたい！」がぎゅっと詰まった、まさに最高の一日となりました！　

　文化祭の運営にご協力いただいた後援会の皆様、そして中学生のフードフェスや高校生の食事販売にご協力いただいた地域の皆様、本当にありがとうございました。皆様のご協力のおかげで、生徒たちにとって忘れられない一日となりました。

  September 4 was the day everyone had been waiting for—the Waseda Saga School Festival!

Despite the rainy weather, nothing could dampen the students’ enthusiasm! Performances originally scheduled for the outdoor stage were moved to the kendo hall at the last minute, but that didn’t stop the crowds from pouring in. The venue was packed, with enthusiastic cheers greeting one performance after another.

  Meanwhile, the gymnasium was buzzing with excitement as the Wind Ensemble, student bands, dance groups, and other performers took to the stage. The energy was incredible! Performers and audience members alike joined in the excitement, with cheers so loud they seemed to shake the entire gym!

  Over in the junior high school building, first-year students presented their research projects on local industries in Karatsu. Working in groups, they shared their findings through presentations featuring slides and videos, speaking confidently in front of their audiences. Second- and third-year students hosted a Food Festival, offering a wide variety of delicious food with the generous support of members of the local community. With activities organized by the Festival Committee and various school clubs, there was plenty for everyone to enjoy!

  In the high school building, each classroom had been transformed into something completely different. From casinos and haunted houses to themed cafés, students showed off their creativity with an impressive range of attractions. Some were so popular that long lines formed outside! Throughout the day, students explored the festival with their friends, and smiles could be seen everywhere.

  The science building was another hub of activity. The Science Club offered exhibits and hands-on experiences featuring biology, experiments, robotics, and video presentations. At the Presentation Dojo, junior and senior high school students took the stage to share presentations on a variety of topics.

  Of course, the real stars of the festival were the students themselves. Led by the Festival Organizing Committee, students worked together to plan and prepare everything from classroom attractions and grade-level activities to stage performances. Every corner of the school reflected their creativity, teamwork, and dedication.

  Rain or shine, the students were determined to make the most of every moment. They laughed, cheered, ate, sang, and danced their way through an unforgettable day! More than anything, the festival was a celebration of their enthusiasm, creativity, and willingness to try new things.

  Finally, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the members of our school’s Parent Support Association and everyone in the local community who helped with the junior high school Food Festival and high school food sales. Thanks to your generous support, this year’s festival was truly a day to remember!
