The
2007 Co-ed
Independent Schools Sport
Festival coincided
with the official opening
of our astro turf, which
is a first in the whole
of Mpumalanga. The contractors
worked frantically to
get it ready and the first
official match was played
on Thursday afternoon
between the Uplands girls
versus Gateway.
The
official opening followed
this. Mr Miles Japhet,
the Chairman of the Uplands
College Board, spoke a
few words about the significance
of a facility like this
on our campus and the
fact that the broader
community will also benefit
from it. Miles was instrumental
in securing the necessary
funds to build the astro
and he was also the representative
of our benefactor, Hollard
Insurance. We owe Miles
and Hollard Insurance
a great deal of gratitude
for making this dream
a reality - it is indeed
a 'Milestone' in the short
life of Uplands College.
