Mrs June Tham
Executive Director, Rainbow Centre

Mrs June Tham has devoted more than 20 years to the education of children with special needs. Mrs Tham joined the Margaret Drive Special School as its Principal and Executive Director in 1989. The school came under the umbrella of Rainbow Centre (RC) in 1992 when the latter was founded.

Rainbow Centre (RC) is a voluntary welfare organisation with a mission to enhance the quality of life of children with special needs through education and training to enable them to achieve their fullest potential.

Mrs Tham spearheaded the growth of RC by developing two purpose-built special schools, expanding the early intervention programme to serve more children. She also started the Training & Consultancy Unit to train teachers, professionals and parents.
