Thai Central School Grant's Report

Thai Central School now has been operating since 19 July 2008. We recently submitted an application to obtain Victorian government funding for our Thai children students. Our team worked for several months to put together our submission for funding.

TCS is now very pleased to announce that we have received funding accreditation from the Department of Education And Early Childhood Department (DEECE). This accreditation runs until the year 2012. We are very thankful to the government for giving us this extra funding to help the long term viability of our Thai School and to assist the Thai Community. The funding will help us with our rent costs at St.Mary Church Campus (Simonds Catholic College), in paying our teachers and in helping us to provide the best educational resources for our child student in the future.

We wish to thank the Thai community for its ongoing support during the past year and especially our mothers group. We also wish to thank our dedicated teachers and we compliment our adult students on their efforts and the support they give to the School.
