Union High School has embarked on an exciting, sustainable fund-raising initiative – 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗦 – aimed at assisting deserving learners with their school and boarding house fees.
As part of this project, a greenhouse has been constructed behind Arthur Kingwill House with the kind assistance of our dedicated ground staff.
