Terms and Conditions Agreement
All families enrolling at Whoosh Club agree to our terms and conditions as part of the enrolment process; the process may also be referred to as registration.
Changes to the terms may be made and families will be notified via email or notice at Whoosh Club.
Registration and Activity Enrolment
Wait-listing with Whoosh Club comes at no cost to you.
When you enrol your child with Whoosh Club you are enrolling for your child to participate in the extra-curricular activity offered; we do not provide after school care for children that do not wish to participate in the activity. Whoosh Club’s purpose is to facilitate children’s participation in a variety of extra-curricular activities in a warm, safe, inviting and convenient location.
Whoosh Club will offer enrolment in afternoon activities on a first-come, first-served basis. Where additional days of registration are sought by a family that is already registered, or a sibling of a child already registered/enrolled, preference may be given to this family. If you are offered enrolment in an activity and you decline the offer, you are still able to remain on the wait-list in your current position. If you decline a second time, additional offers may be withdrawn at Whoosh Club's discretion.
Enrolment Fees and Ongoing Costs.
Our afternoon fee is $42.00.
Whoosh Club term fees are payable on the first Monday of the school term. If your fees are not paid by week 3 of the given term, our offer of enrolment may be withdrawn. If you would like to pay the fees in installments, please speak with Jocelyn Whisker otherwise all fees are processed for the school term in full. Families are able to claim the Creative Kids Voucher via Whoosh Club.
Ongoing Enrolment/ Ending your Enrolment
Your enrolment is for the duration of the school term and will roll over to the following school term and school year unless you notify Whoosh Club via email to end your enrolment. Whoosh Club requires an email to end your enrolment prior to the beginning of the school term. Enrolment fees continue to be payable regardless of attendance.
Feedback on Extra-curricular providers
Whoosh Club partners with extra-curricular providers who are experienced professionals. If at any point the providers have not meet your expectations, please contact Jocelyn Whisker to discuss your concern. We encourage you to visit the provider’s websites prior to enrolling to ensure that you understand the purpose of the activity you are enrolling in.
We aim to have continuous and long term agreements with our Whoosh Club partners. Activities will be provided for a minimum of 1 school term. If the activity or the provider is not of interest to the children, does not meet our expectations or is no longer suitable we will provide an alternative activity. If the activity is not suitable for you or your child, you may end your enrolment prior to the new term commencing. We welcome your suggestions and referrals for Whoosh Club partners.
Collection of Children from school
To ensure the absolute safety of children, we offer a 'walking bus' from Neutral Bay Public School on each school day. You are also welcome to collect your child from school and drop them off at Whoosh Club; please sign your child in at Whoosh Club if/when you do so.
We take the responsibility for your child(ren) very seriously. We will not leave the school without your child or without knowing that your child is safe somewhere else. To assist us in collecting the children in an efficient time frame, please talk to your child about meeting the Whoosh Club team promptly once school finishes.
You are responsible for informing us of any changes to your child’s Whoosh Club schedule including absence from school or Whoosh Club or if any other person will collect your child from school.
