The Noah's Thoroughbred Pig Racing owner said the pig wearing purple and sponsored by JR and JG Dezius flew to the finish line faster than any of the other eight pigs in most races, collecting much-needed fund in the sweep.
Sweeps were held for all races and a prize given for each race.
Money raised will be used for playground equipment for the school's special needs children, upgrading the netball court and buying musical instruments.
