Uplands College announces mentors for 2024

The 2024 Uplands College mentor-election process was recently undertaken, with results announced this week amid great excitement among the Grade-11 learners.

“We offer a holistic experience that is structured to provide young people with every opportunity to enter the world. Leadership is a core value that is critical in the journey and during an in-depth election process, eleven Grade 11s were selected to lead to school as school mentors and fifteen were selected as the boarding mentors within the four boarding houses: Goss, College, Bishop and Founders,” Allan Laing, head of Uplands College, said.

The position of mentor is the highest honour a school pupil can aspire to. It recognises the esteem in which they are held by staff and pupils, and the potential they hold for real leadership in the school.
