These are the words of the outgoing Assumption Convent School principal, Neville Workman.

He has been in the post for the past 28 years but compared it to feeling as if ‘I only started yesterday.’

Workman describes the school as kind and a caring place for teaching and learning.

“It is a place where every child feels safe and valued.

“Soul is the one thing that cannot be bought and Assumption Convent School has a big soul.

“I had the privilege of working with extraordinary pupils, parents, colleagues, trustees and many other dynamics and selfless people.

“I have made wonderful friends,” he said.

His departure will make way for the appointment of Anthea Weinerlein, who according to Workman, is eminently qualified and passionate about doing what is best for the school.

“I do not doubt that the school will continue to go from strength to strength.

“Along our journey, we have overcome what seemed like insurmountable challenges and our school continues to adapt and thrive.

“Michelangelo tells us that the greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high, and we miss it, but that it is too low, and we reach it!”

Workman said the school encourages every learner to believe in themselves to realise their abundant God-given potential and to reach for the stars.

“Our pupils have surpassed our expectations in academics, sports and cultural activities and our alumni excel in every profession, both at home and abroad.

“More importantly, they are thoroughly decent human beings.

“In looking back, the memories I cherish are the little moments we have shared.

“Life is about relationships and I will always be passionate about this wonderful school,” said Workman.
