The biennial PARTNERS Award, which was instituted in 2002, is presented by COMPASS to recognise efforts made by schools in promoting and strengthening collaborative partnerships with their stakeholders such as parents, the alumni, School Advisory Committee/School Management Committee (SAC/SMC), community groups and business organisations.
To-date, PARTNERS Award has entered into its 5th cycle. The next application is in 2012.
From 2012, application for the award will be on an annual basis aligned with the school's year of EV/SA report submission.
