セントメアリーズカレッジに所属する6名の帝京大生たちが、入学宣誓式に参列しました。この宣誓式は、帝京大生たちをセントメアリーズカレッジの正式な一員として迎えるための式典で、学長代理をはじめカレッジの上層部の方々も列席し、厳かな雰囲気で執り行われました。はじめは緊張していた学生たちも、無事宣誓書にサインを済ませ、その後、フォーマルディナーを楽しみました。正装でのディナーですが、英語での会話を楽しんだり、折り紙や日本語を教えてあげたり、和やかな雰囲気に包まれていたようです。

The 6 Teikyo students at St Mary’s College are very lucky to be able to participate in a special Matriculation entrance ceremony in April. The signing ceremony was held at St Mary’s College and involved the students being formally welcomed into the student community by Acting Principal Catherine Paine and other senior college staff. Although nervous at first, all 6 students signed the manuscript in English perfectly. After signing, we all had a lovely formal dinner together in the Kenworthy Hall in college.

This was the students first taste of a formal dinner setting. Everyone wore lovely formal dresses and suits and also gowns so they felt like they were in Harry Potter! During dinner, the conversation flowed well and each student tried really hard to speak in English. They also demonstrated some origami techniques and taught a few simple phrases in Japanese. The evening had a lovey atmosphere and was a super introduction into St Mary’s life for the 6 new undergraduates.
