Special Program in Journalism
The Special Program in Journalism (SPJ) is a four-year program for Junior High School learners designed to develop their knowledge, skills, and competencies in campus journalism and mass communication. It provides specialized learning experiences in print, online, and broadcast media, with emphasis on news writing, feature writing, editorial writing, copyreading, proofreading, photojournalism, radio broadcasting, television broadcasting, and multimedia production.
Through hands-on activities, collaborative projects, campus publications, and journalistic competitions, learners enhance their writing, speaking, critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills. The program also promotes responsible journalism, ethical reporting, accuracy, fairness, and social awareness, preparing students to become competent and responsible communicators who can inform, inspire, and make a meaningful contribution to their school and community.
GENERAL SECONDARY CURRICULUM
In the implementation of the Basic Education system, GFMINHS continues to improve and bridge the learning gap from the elementary level to the secondary. Based on the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the school comes with the General Secondary Curriculum, which caters to free education for the youths of General Trias, even from nearby municipalities.
GFMINHS also uses the salient features of RA 10533, also known as “An Act Enhancing the Philippine Basic Education System by Strengthening Its Curriculum and Increasing the Number of Years for Basic Education, Appropriating Funds Therefor and for Other Purposes,” otherwise known as the “Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013”, as it supports the spiral curriculum from strengthening the Universal Kindergarten, making the curriculum relevant to learners, ensuring integrated and seamless learning, building proficiency through language motor, gearing up to higher education, and nurturing the holistically developed Filipino towards their future career, by letting them undergo a four-year junior high school general secondary program with its core disciplines with its minor subjects.
OPEN-HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
In compliance with DO. 46, s. 2006, also known as Guidelines on the Pilot Implementation of the Open High School Program, GFMINHS opened its gates to encourage out-of-school youths (from ages 12 to 16) in General Trias City and nearby towns to return to study in 2012. It is an alternative curriculum in giving secondary education to students who struggle with time, financial difficulties, physical impairment, distance, and social or family problems.
At present, the school continues to cater to learners who want to complete their secondary level at their convenience and pace by attending classes every Saturday with competitively appointed teachers, wherein they can also enjoy the same learnings from the regular general secondary curriculum, but with a special means of delivery.
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
During the hype of the pandemic, Governor Ferrer Memorial Integrated National High School made way to the integration of the Senior High School curriculum, offering HUMMS, STEM, ABM, and Arts and Design strands in 2021. Starting with less than 500 students in its first implementing year, the school is now growing with a great number of enrollees and teachers. As it follows the rigid curriculum set by the department, GFMINHS remains to set high standards of learning that will lead the students to their respective fields in higher education.
