About Glendowie OSCARS

Glendowie OSCARS is independently owned and operated out of school care programme which has been operating at Glendowie School since February 2000.


Being school based is a huge benefit, not only are children safe as they stay on the school premises, but, we also have access to the wonderful indoor and outdoor facilities, including the gymnasium, courts, playgrounds, fields and swimming pool. We are pleased to be part of the school culture and policie.

Our programme offers a comprehensive out of school care service, providing Before and After School Care and Holiday Programmes throughout the year.

Glendowie OSCARS is an approved and accredited by the Ministry of Social Development as an OSCAR provider and eligible families are able to access the OSCAR childcare subsidy.

We know how important feeling safe is and we make a real effort to get to know every child.
Glendowie OSCARS is open to children in Year 0 - Year 8. With a wide range of ages and interests our programme is flexible to respond to current interests. There is a mix of child‐initiated and staff- initiated activities.

Children are encouraged to make choices about how to spend their leisure time at oscars, while maintaining safe boundaries and supervision. There is access to a range of equipment and materials which they are free to use in their own play, supported, extended, and encouraged by staff.
