Queenstown Girls’ High bids farewell to retiring headmaster

Queenstown Girls’ High School has bid farewell to its headmaster, Mr Anaxagoras, who is retiring after nine years of service to the school.

Staff gathered at the end of Term 3 for a special farewell evening celebrating Anaxagoras and his contribution to the school during his time as headmaster.

The occasion featured a Greek-themed dinner catered by Johan Rheeders from Roche House, with staff and special guests reflecting on memories from the past nine years.

Farewell messages were delivered during the evening, while the school’s choir and isiXhosa Ensemble performed as part of the programme.

One of the significant moments of the evening was the presentation of a special gift painted by Mrs Maclean to mark Anaxagoras’ time at Queenstown Girls’ High.

The school thanked its outgoing headmaster for his leadership, commitment and contribution to the GHS community.

“Mr A, thank you for nine years of leadership, commitment and heart. Thank you for the memories, the guidance, the laughter and for the part you have played in the life and story of GHS,” the school said.

Queenstown Girls’ High wished Anaxagoras well as he begins his retirement, saying it hoped the years ahead would give him time to enjoy the things he loves, embark on new adventures and spend time with those closest to him.

“You leave with our gratitude, our warmest wishes and a very special place in the GHS story,” the school said.
