OUR SCHOOL CURRICULUM

We have fully implemented the new Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) System of Education. CBC provides a reliable pathway to the best skilled individuals who are able to think and solve problems for themselves. It is associated with activities that take place beyond the classroom.

Fanaka Junior School complements the core subjects & requirements of the National Curriculum with extracurricular activities that go far beyond the standard requirements. Learning of a second language is also emphasised. Our main aim is to build students’ ability to work independently, have acceptable moral values and think critically. Emphasis is placed on exposing students to opportunities in a wide range of activities so they can begin forming ideas on where their interests and strengths lie.

Information Technology features strongly and is introduced early, but used sparingly until Grade school. After that it is used widely as a work tool. Every pupil (from age 6 onwards) is provided with a personal device (Android powered tablets and desktops) to support their learning.
