Steeple Removed from St Anne's Church

Steeple removed from St Anne’s Church.

On Monday the 20^th of February, some Engineers came to our community church to takedown the steeple.

First of all, the crane and cherry picker arrived throughout the day. Then the Engineer’s came with a concrete cutter to cut the four legs but the concrete legs were reinforced with so much steel, they could not cut.

So they brought in some jackhammers and more concrete saws and it took them all week to cut through the legs.

Finally On Friday at 12pm the steeple was ready to move.

The massive crane lifted up the cross and gently placed it on its side next to the church.

Now watch the video.



February 22nd Memorial Service.

On the 22^nd February was the one year anniversary of the devastating Earthquake in February which killed 185 people. Room 4 was asked to represent St Anne’s School and so we were invited to a special memorial service. This was held at Radley Park in Woolston. We wrote notes and then put them around the ‘Tree of Hope’ then we let off balloons and dropped roses in the Heathcote River and thought about the people affected by the earthquake.

Assembly Room 4

On Friday 17^th February Room 4 had assembly. Our theme was love because earlier that week it was St Valentine’s Day. We sang a song called ‘Power of love’.

We had students saying prayers and a photostory.
