Thai minister meets prize-winners
Dr Piyawat Sivaraks, the new Minister (Education) at the Royal Thai Embassy in London visited a prize ceremony at Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies (CCSS) to congratulate Thai scholars on prestigious awards.
On 7th October five CCSS students received academic awards introduced to honour a former principal and founder of the College, Paul Redhead. The Paul Redhead Prizes have been instituted to mark exceptional achievement and commitment in the academic and wider life of the College. Onusa Charuwana and Papitchaya Saoraya from Thailand were amongst the five prize winners. Each year the Thai government chooses the best pupils from the country and sends them to study in the UK. CCSS is one of a small number of independent schools and colleges in the UK which are chosen for this purpose.
Dr Piyawat Sivaraks is responsible for over 2000 Thai students, mostly Government Scholars, who are studying in Europe.The presentation of the Paul Redhead prizes was an excellent occasion for Dr Piyawat to meet the students and see the College. He was most impressed with all he saw.
