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
The Chess Club started with fairly novice pupils attending the Tuesday sessions. Six of Penryn players challenged us to our first tournament which proved to be quite an eye-opener. The silence of the brain-power seemed to become overwhelming, but soon strategic planning was underway. The first and foremost Rule being Attack is the best means of defense, and this strategy cannot be underestimated!

As our senior players head into the Prelims, then the Finals, and other distractions, the juniors are still keen to fit in a quick game or three in our regular afternoon slot. Watch this space for more action

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.
