2 Your Community Bank® Meet our new Trainee’s You might have noticed a couple of new faces at the branch lately. The bank has employed 2 new trainees to complement the existing staff. Both young ladies have started out with good promise and are fitting in well with the branch team. If you haven’t meet them yet, please drop in and say hello. Following are there brief bio’s: My name is Ashlee Fawcett (left), I am 22 and have recently been employed by Sanctuary Point Community Bank® as a Trainee Customer Service Officer. I was born in Nowra and raised in Sanctuary Point. In my spare time I enjoy fishing, horse riding, relaxing on the beach and exploring new places. Come into Sanctuary Point Community Bank® and say hello, I look forward to meeting you. My name is Elodie Miles (right), I am 19 years old and I am a very positive and friendly person. I was born in Young, NSW, and grew up in Nowra. I am the youngest of three sisters, and I currently have a niece and nephew, with one more on its way. I love my family, animals, chocolate, theme parks, and travelling. Upon completing my HSC at Nowra High School in 2015 I moved to America for 10 months with my family. My favourite part of my time in America was going to Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando. I have been employed by Bendigo Bank Sanctuary Point as a Trainee Customer Service Officer, where I will be completing my Certificate III in Financial Services. I am very excited to start my role here as this opportunity will begin my career in the financial industry where I want to continue learning and growing. Hope to meet you soon at Bendigo Bank Sanctuary Point. Until next month – Keith Robinson – 4443 9825

BBCR has partnered with Tecuris to offer their clients new advancements through a digital innovative care system aimed at improving the lives of those living with a disability, older Australians who may be technologically challenged, or individuals who are socially isolated. BBCR CEO, Sue Clifton reported BBCR are pioneers in this great new technology. We have been working with Tecuris for the past 12 months to plan the implementation of this trial, which could then be offered to our clients. Tecuris Connect is a supported technology system, which is individualised for each client and provides a platform (interactive tablet) for easy messaging, video calling, photo sharing and lots more. The system is handcrafted for older persons who have very limited knowledge on using technology. Having a managed tablet, which has been tailored to access many topics of interest, engaging with family, friends and their community, will keep them connected, stay informed and healthy. The tablet is designed for our clients with safe access to trusted applications, websites and digital information that will keep them interested and continuing to provide them with many benefits. The Tecuris staff members have offered this wonderful opportunity free of charge for a 6 month trial period. During this time we are training, monitoring and evaluating the benefits of Tecuris connect for our organisation and the clients we support. The Tecuris Team hosted a get together at BBCR for the induction and information session for staff, clients and other support companions. Lunch was provided, it was a wonderful morning Mrs Clifton said with lots of communication, laughs and some serious discussion on how isolation can be a key factor in feeling lonely and not having the chance to stay engaged in the community. Having technology and a user friendly tablet to remotely connect to family, friends and other forums will open a whole new opportunity for remaining connected, engaged and informed through so many different avenues. The trial is now into the second month with some amazing results. New friendships have developed through vibrant communication forums, with BBCR staff, gaining new relevant information every day. Participants who have never used the Internet or an ipad are using the tablet with confidence and enthusiasm. What great achievements for some of these individuals who were at first a little apprehensive. They have mastered and embraced Tecuris Connect to the point we are now able to add other features as their confidence grows. If clients wish to advance after the trial Tecuris Health will also be available. This service supports independent living and peace of mind with the state of the art telehealth technology. We will be able to collect and monitor the health of our clients, this will include blood pressure, blood sugar monitoring and a number of other key vital parameters and indicators of our clients wellbeing and safety. We are all very excited about being pioneers in this technology environment and what we can offer together with our partnership with Tecuris. 20 Each Friday (except school holidays) from 10.30am to 12.30pm at the Senior Citizens Centre, Nowra (laneway near Roxy Cinema Berry St) Morning tea will be provided before we begin singing.

The students came together to learn their routine for the 2018 tour program, band members needed to learn over 16 band charts, the dancers to learn 8 pieces of choreography and the vocalists to learn 8-10 pieces of music. The students were required to spend the 3 days in constant rehearsal from 7am – 9pm with very little down time. The following students from Vincentia High School were part of the Performing Ensemble Camp: Harmony Dyer – Vocals, James Ryan – Trombone and Jayden Williams – Guitar - Bass. Every student involved in the Ensemble demonstrated outstanding commitment, teamwork and dedication to mastering their required parts. Their behaviour and attitude throughout the three days was exemplary. Vincentia High Music teacher Tye Langford accompanied our students and worked with them to perfect their performance pieces. The Ensemble will go on tour for a week of each term in 2018, performing for schools across the Illawarra South East Region. Congratulations to all students on your selection into the Performing Ensemble and we look forward to your performance later in the year.
