Events and projects edit
Spin 4 Kids edit
Spin 4 Kids was an annual event that took place at Nantyr Shores. This event is to raise money not only for Nantyr's sports teams and clubs but the Royal Victorian Hospitals Cancer Care Center. Spin 4 Kids consisted of over 50 riders at a time pedalling on exercise bikes for 12 hours, live entertainment, a Hallway of Achievement, silent auction, and plenty of refreshments. This event is put together mostly by students. From 2005 to 2008 the event raised over $18,000 for the RVH Cancer Care Centre, and approximately $68,000 for Nantyr's sports teams and clubs. The event is no longer run.
Green Tie Gala Project edit
The Gala Project was an initiative set up by the ECOS Club and Challenge and Change class at Nantyr Shores to fund the future project of the placement of solar panels on top of the school's roof. The event was to help raise funds for the project and is supported by the community, local business, as well as the staff and students at Nantyr Shores.
The third annual Green Tie Gala that took place in 2012 earned approximately $3500.
Since, Nantyr Shores Secondary School has raised the $30,000 required and now has an array of solar panels on its roof.
