Uplands

Uplands Expressive Arts Department had their final performance this evening as part of the White River ‘Night of the Lights’. The event was a fantastic evening of celebration for the local community in the streets of White River.

Two of our Grade 10 pupils, Jena Rawlinson and Lucy Van der Meulen, recently flew to Italy to begin their Rotary exchange.

Our congratulations to Callum Baird (Grade 1) who won the Natal K1 U8 Championship, whilst competing at the Ozzie Gladwin Canoe Marathon. #uplandspride

The Uplands’ Journey stands as one of our key Rites of Passage. It is a rare and special opportunity for each to find the space and time to deeply consider themselves. We sincerely thank Bidvest for their ongoing support of the Journey. #UplandsJourney2018

We celebrate #WorldKindnessDay today. This movement was launched in 1998 to help make the world a better place. At Uplands today, all teachers will pass-on an act of kindness to another member of our community. We wish you all a day and future filled with kindness.

52 Uplands’ pupils participated in the annual Independent Schools Cross Country Championships, as hosted by Summerhill Preparatory School. Amongst a strong field comprising 7 other schools, our athletes did exceptionally well; many placing in the top three for their age group.
