学校長あいさつ

茨城県立土浦第一高等学校長　プラニク　ヨゲンドラ　　　　　　　　　

　ナマステ！

　茨城県立土浦第一高等学校・附属中学校長のよぎ（プラニク　ヨゲンドラ）です。本校のホームページへアクセス頂き誠にありがとうございます。 

　本校は125年以上の歴史を持つ伝統校であり、これまでに２千余名の卒業生を輩出してまいりました。その多くの卒業生が、県内外において幅広く活躍しており、本校定時制の誇りと考えております。 

　私は「志のみ持参」という言葉を経営理念に掲げています。志とは、ある方向を目指す強い気持ち、または相手のためを思う厚意という意味があります。本校の全生徒にこの言葉を胸に刻んで欲しいと思いますし、教職員も思いやりをもって生徒の成長を支援したいと思っています。 

　本校の校訓は、｢自主・協同・責任｣であります。そこに「肯定感・思いやり・国際性」の概念を合わせ、自己肯定感を持ち自主的に行動し、思いやりを持ち協同し、多様な考え、国際的な視野を持って、皆さんに頑張って欲しいと思います。常にポジティブでいることは自分が選ぶことです。何があっても冷静に対応し、笑顔でいること、自分を愛し、周りの人びとを思いやる心を持つよう生徒の支援を行って参ります。周りの人達から尊敬され、自ら誇りをもって生きることのできる「人間一流」の人を育てることが私どもの願いであります。 

　本校では、チャレンジ精神豊かな生徒たちに、優れた教育環境を提供するため、学習施設や体育施設の充実はもとより、生徒一人ひとりが自分らしく輝ける場所を目指しています。特に高校は学生生活の中で一番濃厚で、一番大切な期間だと思っています。この期間中により多くを学び、よりたくさん汗を流し、充実した学生生活を送って欲しいです。自分の長短所をしっかりと理解し、短所を乗り越え、様々なことに取り組んで欲しいと思います。 

　私事ですが、2023年４月１日より本校の校長に就任しました。学校関係者の皆様の中には期待及び不安の両方があろうかと思います。私は、人間や人間社会、教育や技術的な発展のエンドゴールは「幸せ」であると思っています。社会人としての経験を積みながら学ぶ定時制課程においては、生徒たちが多様な価値観や経験を持ち合わせ、自分自身をさらに成長させることが重要だと考えており、生徒たちが自ら学び、考え、行動することを支援してまいります。 

　在校生については、身体、精神、その他における変化が激しく、生徒が自立しようとしています。このような大事な時期において本校の保護者の皆様と二人三脚で生徒の成長を支援したいと思っています。生徒の学校での毎日は忙しいです。保護者の皆様に特にお願いしたいのはお子様との毎朝の約１５分のジョギングまたは運動と毎晩の約５分の振り返りです。 

　本校にご興味をお持ちの生徒、保護者、教育関係者、本校の教育に力をお貸し頂ける企業や団体、報道関係者などの皆様はお気軽に本校までご連絡ください。土浦一高から「教育」を「共育」の次のステージにもっていきたいと思います。

　よろしくお願い致します。

Namaste! Hello!

I am Yogi (Puranik Yogendra), the Principal of Ibaraki Prefectural Tsuchiura First High School & Affiliated Junior High School.Thank you for visiting our school's website. 

Our school has a history and tradition of more than 125 years.To date, we have produced more than 2,000 graduates. Many of our graduates are active in a wide range of fields both inside and outside the prefecture, and we are proud of our part-time school. 

I advocate the proverb ‘Kokorozashi nomi jisan’, equivalent to the English proverb ‘Where there is a will, there is a way’, as part of our management philosophy. Kokorozashi means having a strong desire to aim in a certain direction, or the kindness to think for the sake of others. I hope that all of our students will keep this proverb in their hearts. The school faculty and staff will also be considerate and compassionate in supporting the growth of our students. 

Our school principles are ‘Independence, Cooperation and Responsibility’. I am adding ‘Self-esteem, Compassion, and Internationality,’ to these concepts. I want everyone to act independently with a sense of self-esteem, cooperate with fellow students with a sense of compassion, accept the diversity of ideas and have an international perspective. Staying positive is one’s own choice. One shall not allow others to decide the state of their mind or wellbeing. I wish that our students are able to handle any kind of matter or situation calmly, with a smile on their face, that they love themselves, and be considerate towards the people around themm. It is our wish to nurture ‘the best human beings’ who live with pride, and are respected by those around them. 

In order to provide an excellent educational environment for students with a strong spirit of challenge, we aim to be a place where each student can shine in their own way, not to mention the enhancement of learning and physical education facilities. Especially high school is the richest and most important period in student life. During this period, I want you to learn more, sweat more, and have a fulfilling student life. The students must understand their own strengths and weaknesses, and overcome their weaknesses to be able to handle various things. 

On a personal note, I was appointed as the principal of our school from April 1, 2023. While people have expectations from me, they also have concerns. I believe that the end goal of human beings and human society, education and technological development is "happiness". In the part-time course where students learn while accumulating experience as a member of society, we believe that it is important for students to have diverse values and experiences and further grow themselves. We will help you take action. 

As for current students, physical, mental, and other changes are drastic, and students are trying to become independent. At such an important time, I would like to support the growth of our students in partnership with the parents of our school. Students' school days are busy. We would especially like to ask parents to spend about 15 minutes jogging or exercising with their children every morning and about 5 minutes review every night.

To aspiring students and their parents, please feel free to contact us if you are interested in our school. We look forward to hearing from educators, companies and organizations who would like to support our school. I would like to take "school-education" to the next stage of "community-education". We also look forward to hearing from positive media.
