7. When can schools apply for the Award?

Applications will be opened to all schools in October each year and the submission of the reports will be in early January of the following year. Successful schools will be informed of the outcomes in July / August and the awards will be given out at the MOE Work plan Seminar. Schools that do not receive an award in an earlier application can only re-apply for the award two years later. For example, a school which fails to qualify for an award in 2007 can only re-apply for the award in 2009. The additional two years provide time that is needed for the school to refine and consolidate its processes.
