UPDATED: 10.57AM An Auckland school is reeling after the theft of their charitable "sharing" shed.

St Dominic's Catholic Primary School in Blockhouse Bay used the shed as a drop off point for items for families in need.

Principal Daniel Pepper told Jack Tame the shed, and contents, were stolen over the weekend.

"I'm amazed. I'm absolutely amazed. It was clearly a place where people dropped off for those in need. It was a great opportunity for our children to see the idea of us giving back to others."

Mr Pepper said it was bolted down, and it weighs about 300 to 400 kilos so would've taken a few people to move.

He said the search to find it is on.

"No leads, but it's all on Facebook and what not. It's hot gossip I can tell you. We're out looking for it."

A similar uprooting was recently made at Motu Moana Scout Camp, five minutes drive from St Dominic's School.

That stolen shed housed giant chess pieces, which were also taken.
