Social Events
Last month was a busy month for Uplands and UPTA. Since restrictions were lifted, there are a lot of activities planned for this school year. Year and Country reps are meeting, coffee mornings are happening, we are so excited to join them and hope you are too!
Dress Up & Dancing for a Good Cause
We just had one of our cultural events: Diwali Extravaganza 2022 held at Bayview Hotel on Saturday, October 1st. All proceeds benefited the highly deserving Penang Cerebral Palsy Association, which helps those with Cerebral Palsy receive care and education https://cerebralpalsypenang.org. Parents, teachers, and the Penang community wore fabulous outfits, with lots of dancing and singing. Just a few of the beautiful photos taken.
UPTA on the move
UPTA was busy last week and this week clearing our current storage and relocating all our stocks to a new location. Thanks to all the UPTA volunteers who donated their time and muscles!

Your UPTA committee
UPTA is the Uplands Parents and Teachers Association. We are a team of fun and dedicated individuals who are here to help the whole school community to work and come together. Please join us!
COUNTRY REPRESENTATIVES are ready to answer any questions new families may have about settling into the school, or even life in Malaysia. They are also involved in organising many cultural events throughout the school year for the entire school community to enjoy. It’s a great reflection of the wonderful cultural diversity we are lucky to have here at Uplands!
YEAR GROUP REPRESENTATIVES for both Primary and Secondary schools, are parent volunteers from each class or year group who are there to help distribute information relative to each respective year and to facilitate communication between parents and teachers. Each year level has a dedicated WhatsApp group that the Year Reps oversee and use to share information.
