Balerno High School

Extracurricular Activites

One of the fundamental principles of Balerno High School is the education of the whole person. For this reason we have established a wide range of extra- curricular activities for pupils throughout their school career.

Through these activities we hope to develop our pupils' interests and skills as well as widen and enrich their experiences. Pupils can gain life-long habits and skills, make lasting relationships and, through the opportunity to develop interests and potential, can achieve a sense of satisfaction and fulfilment.

We aim to develop a sharing of responsibility between staff and parents in the education of children and the development of strong links with our community. Many staff give their time after school and at weekends and we are very pleased with the enthusiastic parental and community involvement in the establishment of clubs and teams. All help in coaching, organising, supervision, officiating and transport of teams is encouraged and welcomed.
