Uplands welcomes grade eights with school bell ceremony
The Uplands grade eight Class of 2021 were recently officially welcomed to the Uplands family.
After completing their induction programme, they took part in the annual Uplands tradition of the Signing of the Pledge.
The grade eights gathered with their teachers and the grade 12 Class of 2021, and after an address by the head mentors, Kobus van der Westhuyzen and Mandisa Singwane, on the importance of the induction programme and what it means to become a part of the Uplands family, they recited the pledge and rang the school bell before signing the pledge.
They then received their school ties from their matric buddies.
