Compassvale Secondary School’s own brochure identifies 2000 as its founding year. Its archives then provide two clear anniversary markers: a student artwork in 2015 and the silver jubilee in 2025. Read together, these records show both the passage of time and the ways pupils helped express the school’s identity.

The school’s 2019 brochure states that Compassvale Secondary was founded in 2000. It also presents its North Star language and the motto Realising the Star Within.
A brochure is useful evidence of how an institution described itself at a particular time. Keep the publication context visible, especially when reading older programme information or educational terminology.
The May 2015 archive records Secondary Two students arranging recycled coloured bottle caps into the number 15. The school linked the project with its fifteenth year and Singapore’s hosting of the SEA Games.
That is a concrete historical activity rather than an abstract anniversary count. A collective artwork can make a milestone visible while giving individual pupils a part in the celebration.
The principal’s 2026 message looks back on 2025 as the school’s 25th-anniversary year. This is a retrospective confirmation, distinct from the 2024 letter announcing preparations.
Publication date and event year are not interchangeable. A message written in 2026 can establish what the school was recalling about 2025 without turning the celebration into a current invitation.
Compare the older brochure’s star imagery with the dated artwork and later anniversary reflection. Which ideas recur, and which records describe a particular occasion?
Students can make a short illustrated timeline using the years 2000, 2015 and 2025. Use links to view the school’s original material rather than copying protected images. Check current school channels for visits, programmes or admissions.
