Assales Fatumaca

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Assales Fatumaca is a school in Baucau District, near , East Timor.

History[]

Missionaries first came to Fatumaca in order to open schools for East Timorese youth, and requested permission of the Gariuai king, and asked for land upon which to build a school. The king granted his permission. There was only one school at first, the ETP (Escola Tecnica Proffecional); Assales Fatumaca was a subsequent school.

Educational System[]

The Assales Fatumaca educational system is based on the Don Bosco "preventive system", which assumes that preventing someone from making a mistake is better than punishing them after they make a mistake, which makes Assales Fatumaca stricter than ETP Fatumaca; Assales Fatumaca also has an elimination program for those who fall below the marks level set by the school. Assales Fatumaca has a full marching band.

ETP and Assales Fatumaca are rivals, and play against one another in three cups: Immaculada Cup (8 Dec), Don Bosco Cup (31 Jan), and the Auxiliadora Cup (24 May).
