As this year's Sports Day will be spread out over many lessons, there is a chance the process will not be complete until after the Golden Week break.
As we are unable to have parents attend this yearWe hope to provide video footage of students performing in the coming weeks. Kindergarten team games & activities will be conducted after the Golden Week break.

For interested DSKI families.
A message from TELL.
TELL is dedicated to providing effective support and counselling services to Japan's international community and its increasing mental health needs.
TELL's April Conference titled COVID-19 Mental Health Disparities: Pursuing Equality in Japan. We will be hosting multiple speakers on April 10th, which is open to the public, and on April 11th, where we will be offering training to clinicians.
Over the past year, the global pandemic has upended our lives and impacted all aspects of our life – including mental health. While COVID-19 cases rose, unfortunately, so did cases of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. Those especially affected include women and youth, who face inequities that have been highlighted over the course of the pandemic. Join us as we take charge of our mental health and cultivate resilience and well-being by listening to guest speakers from a wide range of groups – peers, schools, the workplace, community stakeholders, and more.
If you would like to learn more about the conference, please see the website for the event. You can also register there for one or both days.

We are happy to say that when we come back you will see some positive changes in our campus security.
We will be updating our systems with
- A new front gate with high quality security locks
- A new gate in the kindergarten area with an emergency quick release opening system
- Security cameras covering the full campus perimeter, not just at the main gate. They will record on a 48 hour loop, stored on a server located on campus so no images will be sent to a third party. The recording will not be accessible to anyone unless there is just cause and approval by both the principal and office manager.
Please take a look when you come back, the student council decided the colour scheme so our thanks to them and their work.
