【科学部】GLSから帰国しました! / Came back from GLS
昨夜シンガポール、チャンギ国際空港を出発した飛行機は午前6時前に羽田に到着、先程天草高校に帰ってきました。夜のフライトで睡眠不足だったり、移動で疲れていたりという部分はありますが、みんな元気にしています。
到着後、これまでホタル班の奮闘を間近で見守っていただいた校長先生より、この研修で学んだことを今後に活かしてほしいという話がありました。また、同窓会の方々にも結果の報告に伺いました。この研修で多くの学びを得たことを一緒に喜んでいただき、生徒も誇らしく感じていたようです。
今回、目指していた入賞に手は届きませんでしたが、生徒たちは精一杯工夫や練習を重ね、本番では悔いのない発表ができたと思います。また、審査対象の発表だけではなく、サマリーのポスタープレゼンテーションや様々なアクティビティを通して日本内外の高校生ともたくさん交流したり、意見を交わし合って、3人とも一回り大きく成長してくれました。3年生の二人はこれから後輩にこの研究を受け継ぎ、それぞれが自分の夢に向かって頑張ります。
物心両面でご支援いただいた皆様、温かい言葉をかけていただいたり、貴重な助言をいただいた皆様、本当にありがとうございました。天草高校科学部、また次のステップに向かって一生懸命頑張ります。
We left Singapore last night, and we arrived in Haneda just before 6:00 a.m. It took us a while to finally come back to school. Students are a little tired from taking a night flight (it was so hard for us to sleep on the plane), but they are all relieved.
At school, the principal had a few words, telling them to keep trying. They called on the graduates' association graduation to thank people there. They felt proud and happy to learn that many people have been supporting them.
Although they could not win a prize, they learned a lot through challenges - they put considerable effort into improving their slides, including practicing the English speech. Even when they had little time before their presentation, they kept practicing and weren't afraid to make changes so as to have better performance. Not only through presentations, but also through interaction activities held at GLS meant a lot to them. They had an opportunity to mingle with Asian students, which taught them a lot. They broke off their research today, entrusting their dream to younger members. Now it's time for them to work on studying for the upcoming college examinations. Wish you two the best!
Thank you to the people who supported us for your continuous support. We at the Science Club will keep doing our best in our research. We hope to deliver good news to you in the near future!
