Our Alumna this week is Sally-Ann Wang

SALLY-ANN WANG  - MATRIC 2010

I completed school at Assumption Convent School n 2010.  I am currently studying for my Masters in Marketing at Wits.  Assumption Convent taught me how to become an independent, confident, and humble person.  I joined Assumption when I finished Grade 10 in China. At that time, I was battling to acclimatized to a totally new environment. However, I had a wonderful learning experience at Assumption, and have many warm memories of my time there.  The Teachers were more like my family, they encouraged and helped me in different aspects.  Assumption gave me an excellent education with wonderful facilities, diverse cultures, and interesting after school clubs. I am truly grateful to be part of the Assumption Convent Alumni.
