Arts and Crafts
Arts and Crafts is a fun-filled afternoon activity for those creative minds seeking a rest from sport. We make and paint various items – masks, for example – as well as stained glass and beadwork.

It’s a social afternoon where pupils across all grades can interact, get to know one another, make new friends and express themselves creatively.

Chess 2011
In April 2011 we played a friendly against Hoërskool Bergvlam. Gage Abell won both his games, while Renilwe Lebea won a game and Kurt Spence drew one. We played Bergvlam and Lowveld High in May and even though we were absolutely thrashed, it was an enjoyable afternoon and a good experience.

Founders has continued their cultural winning streak by emerging victorious in the Inter-House Chess championships. We are grateful that Willie Engelbrecht broke his foot as he consequently joined the club. He and Nhlanhla Thabethe scored the most points for Founders - a total of 8 of the 15. In College House, Marc Grove scored 5 out of the 11 points. Unfortunately a lack of Bishop players contributed to their low score.

We will keep forging ahead, developing strategies and increasing our battle plans and will take on anyone and anything that comes our way.

Confirmation Classes
Uplands offers confirmation classes to those pupils who wish to be confirmed while they are at the College. The purpose is to allow them to express for themselves a commitment of faith as we explore the fundamentals of the Christian faith over a period of twelve sessions. The Confirmation Service normally takes place in the third term and is conducted by Bishop Les Walker.
