3. The Environment around Our School
Our school is one of the schools located in the city. We rarely have students going out of, or coming into, theschool. They mostly are the graduates from Minami Elementary School or Hananoki Elementary School. In
our school district, we have National Routes 140 and 299 and Seibu Railway and Chichibu Railway as wellas Seibu Chichibu Station and Ohanabatake Stationthey are major railway stations. In addition, there areother important facilities including Chichibu City Hall, City Assembly Hall, and Public Hall in a close
range. This is why we have a heavy traffic of automobiles, bicycles, pedestrians, and so forth. Furthermore,as our vicinity has been developed as a residential area, some school routes for our students have a narrow
width. Others are dark roads as they do not even have streetlights. The district of ours is not free from theworries about the traffic safety during going to/coming home from school.

CHAPTER 2. OUR ENDEAVORS FOR THE
INTERNATIONAL SAFE SCHOOL
1. The Background of Our Endeavors
Since the establishment of our school in 1947, the students have been increasing, the school buildings andschool grounds have expanded, and the facilities and equipment are on the way to further enhancement. The
neighboring areas of our school, on the other hand, have been under development as the residential areas
located at the center of Chichibu City. Now, there are so many roads that are narrow and with poor visibility.
The traffic is getting heavier, which is increasing the danger to our students during going to/coming homefrom school.
In 2013, Chichibu City declared itself as a Safe Community, on the basis of which the three schools in our
school district started to achieve the designation of the International Safe School. We, with this opportunity
to make our endeavors to receive this designation, are developing our students' abilities to avoid danger andenhancing our system and organization in cooperation with the communities and the guardians of ourstudents to improve the watch-over project for our students.

3. The Promotion of ISS and Us Learning in Chichibu City
We, Daini Junior High School, are proud of being born and brought up in "Chichibu." We expressed thethought of ours in the form of a "logo" and a "motto."
In addition, we inserted, in out notices, the moss phloxthe flower of Chichibu City, the maple treethe treeof Chichibu City, and the blue-and-white flycatcherthe bird of Chichibu City as well as Meisen silkthesilk fabrics that represent Chichibu City. Furthermore, we prepared the wood materials from the wastematerials gathered from the environmental reorganization on the premises of our school and we, together
with our students, created the signs to indicate class rooms. We are cherishing our heartfelt way of running
our school. For the designation, we are progressing with the pride as one that learns in Chichibu City.

Logo

Fig. 2-2

Miki Arai, a member of the Art Club, invented a logo to raise thestudents' awareness about the endeavors in ISS. This logo
represents Bukozan Mountain, a moss phlox flower, the greenery,and Daini Junior High School.

Motto
To invent a motto for the ISS endeavors, the ISS Committee and others gathered their ideas. We wanted tocherish the local expressions in Chichibu. So, we took some of the accent in. The students were willing to
express their feelings: "From now on, we are going to unite and make our best efforts!" Finally, they foundthemselves with the motto:"UNITE OURSELVES AND MAKE OUT BESTEFFORTS FOR ISS"
With this motto as our key words, we are doing our best.

Occurrences, the Locations of the Occurrences, the Time Periods,
and the Conditions of the Injuries)
The records of the injuries that happened on the school premises are collected as the infirmary data. Amongthem, the information on the serious injuries that require medical treatment at hospital is collected from thedata on the Mutual Aid Disaster Insurance Benefits.

Injury cases that require medical treatment at hospital(data on the Mutual Aid Disaster Insurance Benefits)* The Mutual Aid Disaster Insurance refers to the system that supplies the benefits (Mutual Aid Disaster
Insurance Benefits) to compensate the payment by the guardian when an elementary school student or ajunior high school/high school student experiences an "injury" or the like under the control of a school.
For this purpose, schools submit disaster reports.

The Comparison of the Incidents per 100 Students
At the time when we introduced ISS in 2013, we had 440 cases (139 cases per 100 students). Among them,
there were 54 cases that required medical treatment. (In 2014one year after we introduced ISS, the numberof cases reduced conspicuously.)

The Transition of the General Situation of the Students Coming to the Infirmary (Surgical Case)
September had outstandingly a lot of students come to the infirmary. This was because they had
long hours in exercising in the practices of the athletic meet. Apart from this, May and October also
had a lot of students come to the infirmary because, in these months, there were extra athletic
activities including the Schools' Athletic Competitions, the Freshmen's Athletic Competitions, andseveral types of Winter Competitions.

General Situation of the Symptoms of the Students Who Came to the Infirmary (Fig. 3-5, Fig. 3-6)
In September, a lot of students experience a bruise, cut, and scratch as they tumble down during
the athletic meet and the practices for the athletic meet. May, June, and October also tend to havelots of injury cases as they students have long hours in exercising in their athletic club activities
because of the Schools' Athletic Competitions and the Freshmen's Athletic Competitions. Thereare considerable numbers of bruises, cuts, and scratches from tumbling accidents and/or carelessactivities throughout the year.

Generally speaking, the second-year students had lots of cases because the second-year students are the mainstays ofthe club activities and thus they had long hours in such activities. The third-year students had relatively small numberof cases, which seems to be because they retire from those activities before the summer holidays.
Fig. 3-11

From the point of view of thegender, the male students had
about twice as many injury cases
as the female students. This seems
to be because they had lots of
injury cases in their club activities
such as soccer and baseball.

According to the transition compiled by the Japan Sport Council, the students had been receiving a medical treatment generally
throughout the year. Since 2013, the cases have been decreasing partly because of the endeavors for ISS. In particular, in 2014,
those endeavors were conspicuously effective.

This seems to be because of thecontacts during an exercise, the injuries due to carelessness, the tumbles during running, and so on. In addition, there arelots of injuries that result from insufficient warm-ups.
[The sports that involve body contacts, including basketball, baseball, and soccer, cause lots of cases.]16

Excerpts from the Chichibu City
Emergency Transport Data

Among the traffic accidents in Chichibu City, the general situation of the emergency transports of the people at the age
between 10 and 19 (in 2008 to 2012) shows that the junior high school students (in the first half of this age group) weremost frequently involved in traffic accidents while they were riding a bicycle.

(2) The Number of the Traffic Accident Occurrences in the School District
In the past two years, we had three occurrences of traffic accidents in our school district (all of them were involving abicycle). The number of the occurrences of the traffic accidents during going to/coming home from school was zero.

daily lives.

3. Harm in MindAbsenteeism and Worries from Bullying and Troubles
of Friendship
Many of the students who are absent for a long time are forced by the fact that they cannot make friends or havegood relationships at school. When they cannot make relationships very well, bullying and/or harm in mind may
result. This is why we are watchful about the situations of the students who are absent from school for a longtime.

(1) The Transition of the Numbers of the Students Who Are Absent from School for 30 Days
or Longer (Excluding the Students Absent Because of Health Problems)Fig. 3-24
In FY 2012, we had seven students who wereabsent for 30 days or longer because of somereason other than health problems. In FY 2013
and FY 2014, the number of those students
decreased.

(2) Cooperation with Hananoki Elementary School and Minami Elementary School Several times in a year, we hold the ISS Staff Meeting to exchange the information with the elementary
schools and the opinions about the endeavors for the activities in cooperation.
 We, for example, participated an in-house study session (a study session about the use of the smart phone)held by an elementary school, coping with the study sessions in cooperation among the elementary schools
and the junior high school.
 The students' ISS Committee and others provide safety guidance around the elementary schools (in front of
the school gate or in other locations) as the students coming to school, encouraging the elementary school
students to come to school in the safe manner.

(3) The Bonds with the Safe Community and Local Communities

 Chichibu City Safe Community Steering Committee has the "Child Safety Task Force," which discusses
basic measures and makes endeavors in cooperation.
 The "Child Safety Task Force" has been prioritizing the preventions and countermeasures as lots of injuries
are experienced by elementary school and junior high school students, lots of students have injuries duringriding a bicycle, the cases of Internet troubles, the number of recognized bullying cases, etc. are increasing.
We, recognizing these activities, are advancing the ISS activities of our school.

Warm-up Exercise and Cool-down Exercise for Sports(Indicator 5-(8))

Warm-up exercise is required in advance to prevent accidents during, before, and after sports and to
let your athletic ability work well.

Fig. 4-5-7

・ Exercises raise your body temperature and the temperature of the muscle,
which enhances the flexibility.
・ The excursion of a joint is expanded to your utmost.
Raising the bodytemperature

Enhancing theadaptability

Warm-up exercise

・ If you do not warm up your body and just start your exercise at a highlevel, the cardiopulmonary function, muscle, and so forth will be under aheavy stress.
・As quick responses are not made, you may be easily injured. Warm-up
exercise prevents this effectively.
・ While you warm yourself up, your body builds up a lot of adrenaline,
which excites the central nerves and makes you psychologically ready for
sports.
・ After a hard exercise, do not rest immediately, but keep moving with alight exercise for a while. You need to control your excited functions to acool state (cooling down).

Mental preparation(1) A slow jog or walk one or two minutes after sports.
(2) Calisthenics and stretching with your lower limbs.
(3) Massage your lower limbs.

Daini Junior High School Students(Indicator 5-(12))

Some of the students of our school use email and free-phone applications for a long time. The problem isthat daytime and nighttime may be reversed. Once you start a group talk, you may have difficulty inquitting it as you are afraid of being left out of the group. Thus, you will find yourself repeating responses
for hours. If you fall into this habit, you will have difficulty getting up in the morning, losing the rhythmof your life.

The ratio of the students who have a mobile phone or a smartphone is about 35%, which is considerably
lower than the national average. More than half of the owners, however, uses a mobile phone or asmartphone for about one hour (or more than one hour). A third of the owners does not use filtering. We
had some cases where the use of mobile phones and/or smartphones resulted in bullying cases. Further,gaming machines etc. are also used for the Internet and email. The students watch the TV for a longtime, too. They go to bed late at night, having some difficulty in school life.

About the Use of Mobile Phones and Smartphones
by Daini Junior High School Students(Indicator 5-(12))

Our school does not recommend that the students have a mobile phone or a smartphone. Including profile
sites, bulletin boards, and so forth, the SNS sites, the dating sites, false billings, and the like are luring
more and more people into cybercrimes all over the nation. Our school has experienced some troubles withmobile phones and smartphones. Furthermore, if the students stay up late at night, their life styles may
become out of order, and the students may lose focus on learning.
The guardians are responsible for the students' ownership of mobile phones and smartphones. We hopethat they make promises about moderate use. Our school has been informing the students of the merits andthe demerits of mobile phones and smartphones. We discussed the rules to use mobile phones andsmartphones, and the Student Council HQ summed up and summarized the rules as follows.
Fig. 4-5-10

Exterminate-Bullying Declaration(Indicator 5-(13))
Intended for: All Students
Coordinator: Student Council HQ, Teachers in
Charge of Special Activities
Description
Based on the opinions brought by eachhomeroom class, the Student Council HQ
proposed the Exterminate-Bullying Declaration,
which was adopted at the Students' General
Assembly. We were able to raise the awarenessabout the prevention of bullying.

The Exter minate-Bullying Dec laration
announced at the ISS Asse mb ly

Fig. 4-5-11

Exterminate-Bullying Declaration
Students' ISS Committee
1. TO PREVENT BULLYING BEFOREHAND
Think it as if you were him or her and think over how the other thinks before you
say it or you do it. Do not let anybody bully somebody. Watch around you while
you live.
2. IF WE HAVE BULLYING(1) To Those Who Bully
If the other thinks it bullying, it is regarded as bullying. Bullying is a crime. Quit
it right away and apologize. Look what you did and what you said. Do not repeat
it ever again.
(2) To Those Who Are Bullied
Tell the other "Quit it" right away. Do not stay silent. Go talk to an adult.
(3) To Those Who Cheer Over Bullying
If you cheer over bullying, you are bullying. Quit cheering right away. Stop those
who are bullying.
(4) To the Passive Onlookers to Bullying
Quit ignoring bullying while you see bullying. Encourage yourself. Go talk to ateacher, a guardian, or any adult.
We are determined that we keep these words and that we make our Chichibu Daini
Junior High School free from bullying. We declare that we exterminate bullying out
of our Chichibu Daini Junior High School.

Conducting the Safety Checks in the Local Community(Indicator 5-(16))
In order to prevent the accidents in the school districts on holidays and during going to/coming
home from school, we decided to make a new cooperation with the people from the local
community and to conduct "Safety Checks in the Local Community." We, to share the information
about the dangerous locations, created a safety check map.
Objective:
Description:

To share the information on the dangerous locations in the school district
We walked in, and patrolled, the school district for checkups. After the
checkups, we held a workshop session to exchange our views. In
addition, we created a map from the photos we took and the informationon the danger, and posted it at the school. Thus, the students that could
not take part in the patrol were able to share the information.
Participant: Teachers, Guardians, Local Residents
Achievement: As we shared the information about the dangerous locations in the
district, we raised the awareness about the prevention of traffic accidents.
Future plans: We are going to continue the local safety checks not only for raising theawareness but also for improving the environment.
THE ROAD IS
NARROW. IT'SDANGEROUS.

THERE IS FROST IN
WINTER. THE CURVEMIRROR DOES NOTWORK.

 We took photos and/or wrote it downwhen we noticed anything.

IT'S DARK AT NIGHT.
WATCH IT!

 We added the information on the map toshare the information about the danger.
 All participants exchanged
their views.

Indicator 6. Programs that record the occurrence frequency,
cause, etc. of injuries
For a safer school, we record the injuries on "body" and the wounds in "mind." To find our priority challenges andto verify the achievements of our endeavors, we collect and analyze the information listed below.

631. The Records of the Injuries including Light Ones (A-(1))
We use the record sheet to keep specific records of "time of occurrence," "location of occurrence," "type of injury,""location of injury," and "treatment." The Health Committee reviews the statistics monthly and issues reports etc. to raise
the awareness.

2. Collecting the Records about the Injuries That Require Medical Treatment at
Hospital (based on "the data on the Mutual Aid Disaster Insurance Benefits").
(A-(2))
We make report, to the Japan Sport Council, on the injuries under the control of the school that require the treatment
expenditure of five thousand yen or more. We use the records, "the data on the Mutual Aid Disaster Insurance Benefits.""The card for recalling the injury that required medical treatment" is filled in to think over what should have been done to
avoid the injury.

3. Other Information (A-(3))
As for the injuries outside the school, we conducted a questionnaire survey about the dangerous locations on the schoolroutes and another survey about the experiences of near-accident incidents during going to/coming home from school.
Based on them, we created the "Near-Accident Map" in the school district of Daini Junior High School to use it. In
addition, based on the "Five Rules about the Bicycle Safety," we understood the traffic accidents involving students andthe safe way to ride a bicycle.

Coping with "Net Bullying"
If any slander or defamation is found on the Internet, we will understand the clue of bullying
and take a quick action. In addition, we teach the ethics concerning information and we makeactivities to enlighten the guardians. Thus, we make a school that does not allow "Net
Bullying" in cooperation with the homes and local communities for the advancement.
Furthermore, if there is any slander or defamation, we promptly start the procedure for asking
for the deletion. We cope with this as a whole in cooperation with the police and otherspecialized organization for more actions.

We have developed the endeavors stated as Indicators 3 to 5 here as our priority challenges. These
endeavors are periodically checked for their achievements. First, we conduct "short- and mid-term"
evaluations to verify the "changes in the awareness and the attitude." The "long-term evaluation"
has been specified to confirm the changes of the numbers of the occurrences of injuries resulting
from the changes in the attitude and the improvement of the environment.

The number of the occurrences of the injuries in club activities has been decreasing as a whole. We can say that
this is one of the results of the statistics and analyses of the number of the occurrences of injuries, the safety
checks in club activities, the health observations, and so forth. The number of the occurrences of injuries has
been decreasing. The awareness is raised. We need to keep on coping with the measures in the coming years
and we need to exercise ingenuity and to make improvement. In addition, as the number of the occurrences of
the injuries in break times has been increasing, we want to make actions to raise the awareness of the safetywith respect to how to pass the break times.

The care about the safety has been intensified. We can say that this is one of the achievements of the traffic
safety guidance, the patrols outside the school, the traffic safety classes, the creation of the map of the dangers
on the school routes, the enlightenment activities with local residents, and so forth. The students who walk side
by side during going to/coming home from school have somewhat decreased. However, we still have problems;that is, we have still such students who cross a road without using a crosswalk, who do not check the safety
nearby when going out on a bicycle, who ride a bicycle in an annoying fashion, and who do not observe othertraffic rules. We must continue our endeavors for the coming years, so that the students will observe the traffic
rules and care about the safety.

JAN 2015<<Reality>> Between September 2014 and January 2015, no considerable increase is seen.
The students who are addicted to a smartphone/email have not increased very much.
[Endeavor]

The Students' ISS Committee defined the smartphone rules and reminded the students.
The students and the guardians reviewed individual life styles.

<<Long-term evaluation>>
The number of the occurrences of bullying cases has been increasing since 2012. However, after the peak in
2014, we were able to make the start of 2015 (this year) with some decrease.
On the other hand, the wound in mind is an especially important challenge. As the ability for communication in
a communal life deteriorates, some students suffer "wound in mind." In addition, we have Internet troubles andother challenges. We must make efforts to foster the students who can have a positive self-evaluation by trying
to understand the students from multiple aspects and to understand the wound in mind throughguardian-teacher-student interviews, daily-life questionnaires, checks on daily school life record notebooks,
and safety awareness surveys.

Endeavors/Achievements

For these three years since 2013, we have been finding the priority challenges of our school from the reality
surveys with the students and the data collected in the course to the designation of an International Safe School.
Each and every one of our departments has been advancing the endeavors. We received external evaluations(the guidance and advice from the designation inspectors at the International Safe School Certifying Centre)
while we were developing our endeavors with enthusiasm. On the basis of each achievement and the priority
challenges in the future, we hope that the community of the International Safe School will be spreading
throughout the nation.
