Local kids name hospital cranes - Our Canberra - ACT Government

Garran Primary School students

The Garran Primary School students who helped name two cranes supporting the Canberra Hospital Expansion.

A group of Garran Primary School students have celebrated the official naming of the two electric tower cranes at work on the Canberra Hospital Expansion’s new Critical Services Building.

Following a public vote on 12 name submissions made by the Garran Primary School students, the winning names are 'Lightning McCrane' and 'Cranosaurus’.

These cranes play an important role moving heavy or bulky materials such as steel, concrete, machines and other items on the construction site.

The Garran Primary School Principal Jenny Priest says the ACT Government partnership has been thoroughly enjoyed by students.

“This has been a fun and educational initiative for our students,” Ms Priest said.

“It’s been a great opportunity to learn about construction and the critical healthcare services being built just next door to our school.

“We’ve also been able to publicly recognise the students for their creativity in coming up with two perfect names for the cranes that overlook our facilities.”

It’s not the first time Garran Primary School students have contributed to the Canberra Hospital Expansion project.

Budding artists from last year’s year 1 class currently have their artwork featured on fences around the project site.

The artwork showcases student interpretations of what caring for their health means and how the hospital’s new Critical Services Building will help the community when completed in 2024.
