WOW, the response to the Home School Drop In has been awesome! Thank You
Because of the amount of people who have expressed interest, we at the EnergyPlex would like to create an opportunity to allow you to have your first experience of our facility ON US!
So what we would like to do is invite you to an �Open House� on Tuesday the 19th from 2pm to 3.30pm. During this complimentary period your kids will be able to use all the facilities as I described in my previous email. Unfortunately because of an existing commitment we cannot include the swim during the open house. Of course the swim will be available during the regular Home School Drop In sessions.
During this Open House you will have an opportunity to discuss any suggestions or issues with the EnergyPlex Management. Also as an extra bonus, if you sign up for a ten punch pass we will give you a �Friday Night Family Pass� for free. This free pass may be given to a friend if you feel that they should come a check us out, or used for yourselves!
The Friday Night free pass offer will only be available during the Open House period; however you may purchase the ten punch pass cards without the free pass at any other time.
There have been a number of questions asked and I would like to take this opportunity to answer these.
Please note that some of the following information has been tailored for the Home School Drop In Sessions and the information may not be accurate for other periods.
Q � What are the age restrictions?
A- First off, under two will be free! And yes they will be allowed to use all of the facility as long as you are supervising them. Second, as there is no formal structure to the drop in sessions kids aged from 2 � 17 will be allowed to mix. The facilitator on the day will use his discretion and, as an example, at times may announce that for the next half an hour only kids under six can be in the gym or vice verse, he may equally decide that only kids 12 � 17 can be in there.
Q � Can my kids stay longer if we turn up late?
A- As a rule No, we don�t mind a few extra minutes but the time period that we have provided is an off �peak� period. The period immediately after is a time that kids are out of school and we consider this to be a �peak� period.
Q � If we arrive late, after 12pm, can my kids still participate in all the activities?
A � Yes, all activities will be running simultaneously, there are no formal lessons or teaching, the emphasis is on natural undirected play. Your kid can go from the gym to the rock wall then to the cube, whatever he wishes to do. There may be some restrictions on time in some areas but this will be coordinated by the facilitator on the day and will only be done to allow for fairness and safety.
Q � Will the sessions be weekly?
A- Yes, we plan to run a regular Home School Drop In session every Tuesday 12pm � 3pm
Q � Can the School that I am registered with, I.E. Heritage, Self Design pay for the activities?
A � Yes, however some of these organizations have different methods of doing this, I believe Wonder Tree (Self Design) have Visa cards available, Heritage I believe would prefer it if you bulk purchased and gave them a receipt, but I am unsure how the other organizations prefer to do it.
To make life easier we have made available a ten session punch pass. As mention above if you purchase one of these during our open house we will give you a free �Friday Night Family Pass�
Please come to the open house and make suggestions on this subject.
Q- Can we bring our own drinks, snacks and food?
A � With the exception of water No, we have a well stocked Caf�/Snack bar that is reasonable priced.
So these are probably just the tip of the iceberg for questions, I am sure there will be many more. The Home School Drop In is a new feature for us and we will have a lot of things to learn ourselves. So please allow us the chance to naturally mature, develop and get things right.
I hope I have provided enough information for you right now, if I haven�t and you need to know before the open house please feel free to ask. You may also call the EnergyPlex. If you call the EnergyPlex please ask for me - Derek if unavailable Bruce or Tracy can help.
I look forward to meeting you
Thanks
