We offer a wide variety of ECA’s Monday to Thursdays

Extracurricular activities play a vital role in the holistic development of students, complementing the academic curriculum and contributing significantly to their personal and social growth. At Balance we offer a wide variety of ECA’s from Monday through to Thursdays. These include cultural activities, sporting activities as well as social activities. An emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics)

We believe that ECA’s are so much more than just activities after school. Although our ECA’s are not compulsory, we strongly encourage students to participate as the added advantages of joining the clubs are endless.
