Physical Wellbeing
The Purcell School offers a full schedule of PE extra-curricular activities throughout the school week and during the week day evenings. Physical wellbeing activities include multi-sport, open gym, badminton, yoga, basketball, football, crossfit, pilates, running club, pickleball, netball and dance.
Regular exercise can really boost a student’s musical skills by strengthening muscles and improving posture, which allows a musician to play comfortably for longer periods. It also makes breathing more efficient, which is incredibly helpful for wind instrument players and singers. Staying fit reduces the risk of injury, allowing students to practise and perform without setbacks. Plus, exercise sharpens thinking and improves coordination, making it easier to tackle challenging pieces and techniques. The endorphins from working out can inspire music-making, and the stress relief helps young musicians stay focused and calm during performances.
