TERM 3 Newsletter

Dear parents/caregivers
We hope you & your children had a good holiday break.  We had a great LEGO holiday program run superbly by Sarah with loads of great activities which everyone loved.  Check out our FB page for the photos J
New Staff
We would like to welcome Cameron Walker to our team.  He will be working 3 days a week & we look forward to the fun that he brings & we know the kids love having him already. 
Parent Night
We would like to invite you to join us for our own “FLOURISH WORLD CUP” special soccer night on Tuesday August 28th a from 5pm until 7pm.  The children have been really enjoying the FIFA world cup & playing soccer indoors, so we thought we would take it to the next level and ask the parents/caregivers to join in.  We will put you into country groups and have some short games to see who will take out the FLOURISH World Cup.  Sausages & bread with hot chips will be provided for dinner.  Please mark this date in your dairies now – we really hope you can join us.  To help with catering and organisation could you please RSVP to Sarah by Fri 24th Aug.
Survey
Thanks to everyone who completed our parent survey.  It was good to hear from most people & review our service to you. Congratulations to Vaomapa Fakatou who was the winner of the $50 prize voucher. 
One of the things that stood out in your survey responses was the invoicing system.  I admit it is not all that easy to follow & we are working on that.  But for now, here are the basics of how it works.  You can log in at https://flourishafterschoolcare.aimyplus.com (save this link for easy access) to view your invoices, bookings and other details.  At this stage it will only show you the invoices owing & not any credit you may have.  They are hoping to upgrade this in the future.  Remember too that payments & subsidies are made in arrears.  If you have any questions about your invoices please email or ring Ruth.  This newsletter (& any other correspondence) is also available when you log in.  There is a little mail icon on the top right which is your inbox. 
Policy Reminders
Each term we will have one of our policies here in the newsletter as a reminder and so we can review what our expectations are. This term we have “Communication”.  Please make sure you are familiar with this, as it helps to iron out any mis-understandings and gives us a clear guide of what to expect.  If you have any suggestions for changes in this policy, please let Ruth know. 
We look forward to a great term & celebrating together on August 28th.
Yours sincerely,
Ruth, Sarah, Nicki , Rosanne, Jeremia & Cameron
The FLOURISH team
