Cultural Festival
Cultural Festival is held in June. The students of Chikushi High School do various things for this festival. In each of their homeroom classes, they decide what to do: a game, a movie, a play, an information booth, etc. They spend weeks preparing, rehearsing and filming. The day of the festival is filled with students and visitors In the auditorium, there is a choir competition, student band performances and a performance from the school’s brass band.
On the school courtyard, they hold the “Kyokusui-no-en.” In this event, the students write and recite their own waka, Japanese poems. They also design and make their kimono costume from Japanese paper. A cup flows down the stream, he/she picks it up and then recites his/her waka. Then he/she returns the cup to the stream.
