Talent Development and Co-Curricular Learning at Wakajoy Junior School under CBC
One of the most transformative aspects of the Competency-Based Curriculum is its strong emphasis on identifying and nurturing learner talents. At Wakajoy Junior School, talent development is a vital part of our holistic education approach, ensuring learners grow beyond the classroom.
CBC recognizes that every child is gifted differently. Wakajoy supports this by offering a wide range of co-curricular activities and clubs, allowing learners to discover and develop their interests and abilities. Our clubs include football, school choir, journalism, scouts, art, and dancing. Each learner is encouraged to join clubs that match their interests and strengths.
Participation in these clubs helps learners build practical skills, confidence, teamwork, leadership, and discipline. For example, sports promote physical fitness and teamwork, journalism builds communication and critical thinking skills, while art and dance nurture creativity and self-expression. These activities align directly with CBC competencies such as collaboration, creativity, citizenship, and self-efficacy.
Wakajoy Junior School ensures that club activities are well-structured and supported by dedicated teachers and trainers. Learners involved in school teams participate in additional practice sessions, helping them refine their talents and develop commitment and resilience. This structured approach ensures talent development is purposeful and impactful.
Talent development at Wakajoy also complements academic learning. Learners who are confident in their abilities often perform better academically and socially. CBC allows us to celebrate diverse achievements, ensuring learners feel valued for who they are, not just exam results.
Parents are encouraged to support their children’s participation in co-curricular activities, strengthening the home–school partnership. Through events, performances, and prize-giving days, Wakajoy celebrates learner achievements and motivates continued growth.
By embracing talent development under CBC, Wakajoy Junior School prepares learners to become balanced individuals—academically capable, skilled, creative, and confident. This commitment reflects our vision of molding lives and shaping future leaders.
