Hi everyone,

I hope you enjoyed a good break over Spring vacation and are all raring to go for the new school year. It's an interesting time, with lots of new faces around school, so remember to make an effort to make a good impression. There won't be much in the way of classes for a couple of days, but soon you'll be dusting off those self-introductions ready for a whole new round of first years!

Outside of school, I hope you're enjoying the warmer weather. The cherry blossoms are the best I've seen in three years, so take the chance to join in with some viewing parties if you can. The big JET event of the early summer will be the Nagano football tournament on June 2nd/3rd. We'll be practising every Sunday from now on - watch the forum for details. We hope to take a men's team, women's team and as many supporters as possible, so do get involved, even if you haven't before.

Take care and have fun!

Tom
