OSCAR stands for Out of School Care and Recreation and is located at the OSCAR Recreation House, 155 Disraeli Street.
The Y is the largest provider of OSCAR programme in New Zealand and your child can be registered for up to 40 weeks of the year.

What we offer
Our experienced Oscar vans collect each child from their school and bring them back to Oscar House, where they have a range of activities to engage in whilst waiting for all the children to be collected from each school.
Snack is provided, and children have the option of fruit each day to complement each snack.
Children are put into their age range group and start the activity of the day with their supervisors.
Recreational activities are offered at multiple sites, which include Gisborne Intermediate, Netball, Badminton, Basketball and Squash courts, Stadium and our Disraeli Street site.
We offer assistance with homework from 5pm till 5:45pm.
Can I collect my child early?
Yes, you can, but we do encourage you to allow the kids to get the full experience of each day by letting them engage in each activity for as long as possible.
When it’s time to drop off or pick up the kids, simply sign your child in and out on the provided sign-in sheets located on-site at OSCAR House.
