What is OSCAR?

OSCAR is the term used for out of school care and recreation services that operate for school aged children aged 5 –13 years.

Programmes may operate before school, after school or during school holidays. OSCAR services vary throughout New Zealand reflecting the diversity of their communities

The Oscar Network provides support to programmes but is not a programme provider. We do not assess, endorse, approve, license or fund programmes.

OSCAR Network in Christchurch works to ensure that OSCAR staff and management receive ongoing training, support and development of their skills. To see our upcoming training and events, click here.
