What does Assumption Convent School say about itself?
Assumption Convent Primary School was established in 1952 by the Missionary Sisters of the Assumption, at the request of the Archbishop of Pretoria, Archbishop Garner. Since its humble beginnings with a handful of learners and one pre-fabricated classroom, the school has grown from strength to strength, now boasting over twenty air-conditioned classrooms, an ultra-modern computer centre and a well-equipped media centre, art room and music room. We, the students and staff of this school, are very proud of what we do here and what we have accomplished so far. We are extremely excited about what the future holds for us because we know that by the grace of God we can accomplish anything. We hope that we can be of service to you and your child in future so that you and your child can also become part of the ‘Assumption experience!
