WELLBEING
Social media offers young performers opportunities to showcase their talents and connect with others. However, it's essential to use these platforms responsibly to protect mental health and adhere to legal standards.
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.
At NAPA we have teachers and staff who are working long hours at the studio, and most also have jobs outside the studio. We believe that all staff have the right to disconnect from work outside of their professional hours, which includes the expectation that parents respect their personal time by refraining from messaging staff on private social media or personal phones.
At NAPA, we are committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all. Our new Anti-Bullying Policy reinforces our stance against any form of intimidation, while our educators undergo mental health first aid and consent training to ensure they can support and empower students with sensitivity and awareness. Together, we can create a safer, more supportive space for everyone in our community.
Performance anxiety is something almost every performer experiences at some point in their career. Whether you’re stepping onto the stage for the first time or the hundredth, those pre-show nerves can be overwhelming. But anxiety doesn’t have to be your enemy. With the right mindset and techniques, you can channel that nervous energy into a powerful and confident performance.
