In the mid-nineties to 2000s the school had two
tire playgrounds (one climbing and another for running on), aslide beside the building, playground, andswings by the church. The slide was taken away likely because teachers could not see it easily, both tire equipment were burnt down by arsonists and the swings were taken away for likely the same reasons as the slide. However a misleading box of stones was built closer to the school but no swings were ever put in.Two
Tetherball games were introduced but as of mid-2006 the tetherball ropes are broken and unreplaced. TwoBox Hockey games were also made but today they are unheard of whether cause of safety or unwillingness ofstudent council . Thebaseball field is unused during recess usually. Twinsoccer field s are sometimes used. There are 4 sand pits fortrack and field and twobasketball courts . The playground consists ofmonkey bars , rings, a woodenbridge , 2 slides, tires, and twistingfire pole .The wooden deck that remained from the original slide has since been paved over and fenced in. There is
Pizza Days,KFC Days, etc. The grade 6electronics fair is a usual event as well as the grade 6auction . There can be severaldance s throughout the year and one "Meet theTeacher " night. Other events such asHalloween festivities,Christmas carols , andThanksgiving meals cease to exist. In 2005-6 Centennial took in students fromSeneca Unity Public School as is closedReferences
