4.International Safe School declaration
We are striving to create a friendly and open school free of bullying.
A safe school where students can be comfortable.
We want to announce to the World that friendliness and openness are important to us.

4IV. International Safe School Initiatives
1. Demands by today’s society
The underlying purpose of a school is to provide students with the safety and security toachieve academic success. Moreover, it is not simply enough for the school to provide thisenvironment but to also foster the confidence of the students and their sense of safety.
There remain, however, several cases and incidents of accidents and injuries at the school.
There are also other examples of suspicious persons near the campus, traffic accidents during
the students' commutes, and natural disasters such as earthquakes and heavy rain that all
threaten the safety of the students. Therefore, we can agree that school safety is a pressing issue
that needs constant attention.
Therefore, with these factors in mind, it is vital to teach students the merits of safety andsecurity so that they may be self-aware and leaders in the future who will naturally teach future
generations these same principles. Furthermore, in times of crises and evacuation, we can
expect these students to be leaders and to give direction to those, including adults, who do nothave the experience in dealing with these situations. Finally, from a mid- and long-term
perspective, this inclusive education will play a significant role in the development of a culture
focused on safety and guidance for future generations.
2. The current state of the students
If we consider school life from the perspective of the students, we see that they still lack thenecessary knowledge and skills to effectively deal with all situations related to safety andsecurity. This lack of safety awareness is the underlying issue we are facing at the moment.
In order to predict and avoid accidents and dangerous situations, it is necessary to provide
students and faculty with the requisite tools and knowledge to determine the best course ofaction when the need arises. For this purpose, we want to provide an environment wherestudents and faculty will be in daily situations where they can learn to develop the attitude toproactively react to potential incidents. In the end, students will be motivated to be voluntarily
attentive and vigilant, thus making safety awareness an easy skill to develop.
3. The mission at Ikeda campus
Since the incident at Ikeda Elementary School on June 8, 2001, The Ikeda Campus, parents,
guardians and local community have worked together to ensure the safety of the schools in thearea. Consequently, Ikeda Elementary School promoted school safety and achieved
International Safe School Certification on March 5, 2010. On March 5, 2013, they werere-authorized with the International Safe School Certification.
As of the school year in 2010, a Safety Department was established at Ikeda Junior HighSchool and tasked with developing the skills and knowledge to increase the safety awareness ofstudents and faculty while also nurturing the value and importance of life. We feel this will
promote a safe community and school environment.
Based on these initiatives, it is therefore our goal to achieve International Safe School
Certification.

5V-1. Incidents of Injury
Number of injuries by month・The number of injuries is decreasing.
Number of injuries by location・Based on these figures, injuries at the playing field and the gymnasium are overwhelmingly
high - most likely due to club activities and PE class.
・Instances of injuries in special classes, such as home economics classes and industrial arts
classes, are also high.

6

Number of injuries by time・Injuries during morning classes, lunch time and club activities are overwhelmingly high.
・Injuries during club activities have not decreased.
・There are also injuries out-of-school.
Number of injuries by type7

・Bruises, pulled muscles, finger injuries, and sprains are common injuries associated with club
sports and PE classes.
Number of injuries by body part・Bruises, abrasions and sprains to hands, arms, legs, and muscles are common injuries
associated with club sports and PE classes.
・Although injuries to the head, face and eye are not common, the potential causes need to beprevented and incidents reduced.

8

Number of injuries during club (total)

Number of injuries during club (by club)・The number of injuries decreased from April to June
・Injuries increased in July. It is most likely because the students had more practice time due tothe increased number of competitions and tournaments before the start of summer holidays.
We want to reduce these incidents by 30%.

Do you think teasing leads to bullying?
•
•
•
•
•

There are a very few instances of students who feel they are bullied.
13.6% of the students answered there are days they do not want to go to school. The
reasons for this must be investigated.
As many as 29.4% of the students feel they cannot talk to anyone when they feel bullied.
One possible explanation is that they do not feel comfortable talking about this situation.
Only 62.1% of the students believe that teasing leads to bullying. Also, 13.8% of thestudents felt other students went too far when playing sports or during roughhousing.
It is important for everyone to consider why teasing and roughhousing might be taken thewrong way by other students.

The Student Council Resolution
We need to promote an environment for students to be able to speak freely and comfortably
about bullying.

illnesses.

drills after conducting them.
Basic life-saving technique lessons for faculty and parents will be conducted annually by qualified
first-aid instructors. As a result, these teachers and qualified first-aid instructors will be able toconduct life-saving technique lessons for students during health classes.

Programs that target high-risk groups and environments, andprogramsthat promote safety for vulnerable groups(1) School Safety GuidanceMatters concerning safety (daily safety at school, community
safety, disaster safety, traffic safety, and pool safety) aresummarized in the school manual. This manual is also in digitalformat which means faculty and staff have ready access to itsuch as in the iPads they use in the classrooms and in their officecomputers.
Finally, the manual is updated each year due in large part to theregular training undertaken at the school.

(2) Joint Evacuation Training with the Elementary School
The purpose of this training is to not only have the junior high school students be self-reliant
but also to teach them leadership skills that they can apply to help others who are more vulnerable
than they are. This joint evacuation training will ensure that the students in Ikeda Elementary
School (next door) are able to be led to safety.

FacultypersonOn the day of this drill, many of the faculty
was absent because of business trips and otherreasons. This resulted in poor results during
the drill. In particular, the drill was conductedduring regular classes which meant that there
were only a few teachers who were free andjust one was able to track the suspicious
person. This could be a serious threat to thesecurity of the school.

“The symbol of ISS”
(Ikeda Junior High School Attached to Osaka Kyoiku University)

We designed Ikeda Junior High School’s emblem to show
“Hansousurukumo (Sailing clouds)” as its symbol.
The “Hansousurukumo (Sailing clouds)” symbol was produced byworld-famous sculptor “Susumu Shingu”, who entered Ikeda JuniorHigh School in its 5th year.
The clouds show that safety, security and friendliness are
overflowing, while the rainbow and stars gleam with hopes anddreams.
A school with a safe, secure and friendly environment is the core
purpose of the Student Council.
