The Tamil School was started in 1979 by the Ceylon Tamil Association under the leadership of Late Prof C.J Eliezer with nine students. The school was granted a small financial support by the Federal Government in 1982 and by the Victorian State Government in 1983. During these initial period classes were conducted in Prahran as the central location (although it was originally started at Dr Chandrabanu's dance school). Later in 1984, a second school in Carnegie, third school in Dandenong in 1987 and the fourth in Mill Park in 1988 were iniated.
