A new decade begins and our Senior Oscar is expanding, due to requests, to also pick up students from Chisnallwood Intermediate.  If you’re looking for after school care, with a variety of activities, in a nurturing environment and without the little ones, then check out our Senior’s Only OSCAR – just for Years 5 – 8!

At $18 a day (or $17 for two or more sibling), including a van pick up from one of the 5 local schools:

• South New Brighton
• Rawhiti Primary
• New Brighton Catholic
• Nova Montessori
• Chisneallwood Intermediate

We are MSD approved so there’s a good chance you may qualify for funding to subsidise the cost of OSCAR too. Fill in a few forms at the beginning of the year, and after that it’s easy! Check out what you could receive at:
