Drama is an integral and exciting part of the Uplands community. The department is proud of its strong performing arts curriculum. This is demonstrated by yearly productions, festivals and activities featuring the work of our students.

Our facilities include drama studios and a multi-purpose hall that feature computer-aided lighting and sound equipment.
