WELL-BEING — Managing Illness in Performing Arts

MANAGING ILLNESS IN PERFORMING ARTS

Attendance is obviously very important when committing to Performing Arts training, however if your child is sick, we do recommend they stay home to avoid the spreading of germs.

When you're feeling sick and need to miss your classes, it's important to prioritise your health. Resting allows your body to focus on healing and fighting off the illness. Overexerting yourself can prolong your recovery time and even lead to worsening symptoms. Stay hydrated, eat nourishing foods, and get plenty of sleep to support your immune system. If you can, practice light stretches or breathing exercises at home, but avoid any strenuous activity until you're fully recovered. Once you're feeling better, ease back into classes gradually, allowing your body time to regain its strength and flexibility. Remember, taking the time to rest and recover will help you get back to your training stronger and healthier.
