Welcome to the Uplands Parent Teacher Association (UPTA) page! We are a collective of all Uplands parent and teacher members, facilitated by an active, elected Executive Committee, which all members are eligible to join.
At UPTA, we aim to enrich the Uplands experience for all by organising and assisting with special school events, social activities, and supporting student initiatives. We fundraise for the betterment of the school and strive to support new families and connect them with others, assisting them with establishing in Penang. Our committee provides support to the school, students, and our local community through organising events and fundraising opportunities.
We encourage community engagement and interactions between our school members and the wider community. It is also an UPTA tradition to donate a proportion of our Fair Profits to the local school in Batu Ferringhi.
We’re fortunate to have a large number of parent volunteers who assist in various roles, including as Year Group and Country Representatives. Our contributions to the school have included a large donation to help purchase the much-loved climbing wall, as well as organising regular activities such as Pizza Nights, Car Boot Sales, Cultural Festivities, and ensuring the school is decorated accordingly for different cultural celebrations throughout the year.
To keep families informed and up-to-date with all the goings-on at school and in the community, we have dedicated WhatsApp groups and a Facebook page, providing opportunities to meet others and build a sense of community.
If you have any questions about the UPTA, would like to volunteer, or just want to get in touch, please send us an email at [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you!
The UPTA’s role is to support the school, raising funds to expend on equipment and other items to enrich the school environment, and help facilitate social events to enrich the Uplands community.
