Ono High School offers a students' exchange program between our school
and Brent Secondary College in Australia. By taking part in this program,
the students can enrich their experience through exposure to different culture.
Every other year a few Ono High students who voluntarily join the program pay
a visit to Brent Secondary College. Participants will attend some classes,
stay with Australian families and take an enjoyable tour of nearby fascinating spots.
This program enables them to improve their English,
familiarize themselves with Australian culture, and acquire a broader view of the world.
In the following year when Brent students visit Japan,
Ono students will cherish friendship with them through a variety of activities in
and outside of Ono High School.
The emblem of Ono Senior High School is the combination of
Tombo(the dragonfly) and the kanji character for the word High.
The figure of Tombo is shaped out of the two Kanji characters
included in Ono Middle School as the school was called
in former days.
It is also intended to embody the ancient name of Japan,
Akitsushima or the Archipelago of Tombo.
The entire symmetrical figure represents the educational goals
that Ono High School tries to promote. It signifies peaceful unity,
genuine impartiality, and the harmonious combination of wisdom,
virtue, and physical strength.
It is hoped that these ideals will nurture
the students to overcome hardships
and soar high into the bright future
with unyielding spirits.
