New Marimbas for UHS

It is with great excitement that we received a brand new set of marimbas! More learners will now be able to play in the marimba band and it will be used to add flavor to our choir performances, in the annual productions and as entertainment at various functions. Auditions for the new band will start shortly.

Gr 7 Social Sciences Excursion

What a privilege it was to spend time with this group of kind, caring and enthusiastic girls! We looked at wetlands, river health, caught a few crabs in a river, climbed a few fences, fell a few times, had a moonlit swim in a Saltwater pool, learned about an outdoor mechanical fridge, learned about baling lucern and cooled down whilst learning about central irrigation pivots. Best weekend ever!
