Community Activities
The school provides important cultural and sporting facilities for the town and surrounding area. The town's "facilities group" reports that its Main Hall compensates for the relatively limited capacity of Alresford Town Hall, but notes that school facilities are not always exploited to capacity. The local community is also expected to benefit from the new dance studio, fitness suite, and second sports hall which has recently been developed due to the new "sport college" status. In 2004 Perins also shared a National Lottery grant of £151,000 to develop sports facilities in Hampshire, splitting the money with another Sports College in Eastleigh, in the south of the county. Perins will soon have a science status.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or activities:
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
