Message from the Principal:

 

My name is Katsunori Okino, was appointed the principal of Oike Elementary School.

 

In April 1936, our school was honored by the local people as one of the top three most diligent schools, and as the name "Ooike" suggests, a large pond was reclaimed, and above it, the first all-steel school building and auditorium in Osaka Prefecture were constructed.

 

In October of the same year, the city was enforced as a municipality, and it can be said that our school has walked together with Toyonaka City. In 1941 (Showa 16th), the school name become to Toyonaka City Oike National School, and in 1947 (Showa 22nd), changed to Toyonaka City Oike Elementary School marked the 87th anniversary of its establishment.

 

At our school, we advocate "nurturing children who seek and learn" as a school education goal. While looking at the fact that society is rapidly changing and becoming more unpredictable, we aim to further develop the potential of each individual and nurture the qualities and abilities necessary to live in this new era.

 

In addition, all of our teachers and staff will work together to realize the image of children we aspire to be "children who learn independently and solve problems through dialogue with friends", "children who are considerate, value themselves and others" and "children who lead a healthy, and cheerful lives while cherishing life"

 

We would like to ask for the continued cooperation of parents and community members this year as in the past.

 

Reiwa 6 (2024), April

 

Katsunori Okino, Principal of Toyonaka City Oike Elementary School
