Sports Day is a huge event in the school calendar (and practiced for weeks in advance). It\u2019s a good opportunity to get involved either by helping out on the day or by participating. There will also be a festival and\/or concert at some time during these two months that may require you to work on a Saturday.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>DECEMBER<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Closing Ceremony<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>Just a few words from the principal to wish the students and teachers a safe winter break.

This means you won\u2019t be working with them much, if at all. The third week of March is graduation. This is a hectic time but great fun as the students get a huge send off. You\u2019ll be required to wear a suit (preferably black or at least dark) and possibly a white tie. The last week in March is the closing ceremony and the beginning of the spring vacation (approximately 2 weeks).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div><strong>APRIL<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>School year begins and teachers change<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>At the start of April some of your teachers will change schools to another within the ken. It is unlikely that they will know in advance who will go or where to, but you should try to be present for what is usually a massive desk rearrangement and clean up of the staff room. There will also be many school ceremonies and parties at this time to say goodbye to students and teachers and to welcome new ones.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div><strong>JULY<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Closing ceremony and summer vacation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And again your suit is needed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.toyamajets.net\/home\/?page_id=116\">Back to Junior High School Index<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 0.8em;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEPTEMBER\/ OCTOBER &nbsp; Opening ceremony, Sports Day, Concert and School Festival &nbsp; You will need to remember your suit for the Opening Ceremony and you\u2019ll probably have to make a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"parent":116,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-776","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","count-0","even alt","author-toyamapa","last"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Events - Toyama JETs %<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Welcome to the Toyama JET ALT community resources, information and support for incoming and current JET participants.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.toyamajets.net\/home\/teaching-resources\/junior-high-school\/events-2\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Events - Toyama JETs %\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Welcome to the Toyama JET ALT community resources, information and support for incoming and current JET participants.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.toyamajets.net\/home\/teaching-resources\/junior-high-school\/events-2\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Toyama JETs\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2013-04-04T01:10:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.toyamajets.net\\\/home\\\/teaching-resources\\\/junior-high-school\\\/events-2\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.toyamajets.net\\\/home\\\/teaching-resources\\\/junior-high-school\\\/events-2\",\"name\":\"Events - Toyama JETs %\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.toyamajets.net\\\/home\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2013-04-04T01:09:12+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2013-04-04T01:10:01+00:00\",\"description\":\"Welcome to the Toyama JET ALT community resources, information and support for incoming and current JET participants.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.toyamajets.net\\\/home\\\/teaching-resources\\\/junior-high-school\\\/events-2#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.toyamajets.net\\\/home\\\/teaching-resources\\\/junior-high-school\\\/events-2\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.toyamajets.net\\\/home\\\/teaching-resources\\\/junior-high-school\\\/events-2#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.toyamajets.net\\\/home\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Teaching\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.toyamajets.net\\\/home\\\/teaching-resources\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Junior High School\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.toyamajets.net\\\/home\\\/teaching-resources\\\/junior-high-school\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":4,\"name\":\"Events\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.toyamajets.net\\\/home\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.toyamajets.net\\\/home\\\/\",\"name\":\"Toyama JETs\",\"description\":\"Welcome to the Toyama JET community!
