Student Life
A UTS student combines academics with a wide-range of extra curricular activities to develop one's whole being and create leadership training and opportunities for personal and social development.
Part of the success of the extra curricular program at UTS is attributable to the high level of student leadership, which it promotes, such as team captains, editors of school publications and presidents of various clubs. This high level of extra curricular activity is exemplified by the numerous successful achievements by UTS students in various competitions.
