This year a competitive field of 67 entrants from 21 different primary schools wrote the scholarship examinations. For entry in 2012, the hopeful pupils came from various primary schools in the Lowveld and Gauteng and Limpopo regions, as well as from Botswana and Swaziland.

Outstanding results were achieved, and in consequence Uplands College made twelve awards. The Open Academic Scholarship Award was won by a very deserving candidate, Cameron Barry, from Riverview Prep School in Malelane. Seven College Awards were awarded this year. They went to Esna Vermeulen from Riverview Prep School; Robyn Forte from Usutu Forest Primary in Swaziland; Lisa Thomson from Clifton Primary in Francistown, Botswana; Graham Wiggill from Southern Cross in Hoedspruit; Hye-Yoon Shin from St Peter’s in Nelspruit; and Ozayr Karodia and Darren Jackson from Uplands Preparatory School.

Andreas Kuhn from Uplands Preparatory School was awarded the College All Rounder Award.

The three College Sports Awards went to Hilton Thomson from Pridwin Preparatory School in Johannesburg, Yusuf Patel from Nelspruit Primary and Bevan Carlse from Uplands Preparatory School.
