Spin 4 Kids

Spin 4 Kids is an annual event that takes 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 consists 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.

Green Tie Gala Project

The Gala Project is 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. As of 2010 the project is in its second year; a gala event takes place in January 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, placing the school closer to their goal of $30,000.
