[edit] Recent history
In the mid-nineties to 2000s the school had 2 tire playgrounds (one climbing and another for running on), a slide beside the building, playground, and swings 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. Two Box Hockey games were also made but today they are unheard of whether cause of safety or unwillingness of student council. The baseball field is unused during recess usually. Twin soccer fields are sometimes used. There are 4 sand pits for track and field and two basketball courts. The playground consists of monkey bars, rings, a wooden bridge, 2 slides, tires, and twisting fire 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 6 electronics fair is a usual event as well as the grade 6 auction. There can be several dances throughout the year and one meet the teacher night. Other events such as Halloween festivities, Christmas carols, and Thanksgiving meals cease to exist. In 2005-6 Centennial took in students from Onieda Public School as is closed
