WM Donald Technical Day

AGS welcomed WM Donald in to school yesterday working with a group of 60 S3 pupils. This was an excellent and valuable experience highlighting and inspiring pupils to a possible career pathway in construction. This Technical day was only one of four WM Donald offer school sin a year so were very lucky to get this opportunity.

Pupils were actively involved in a whole day of activities lead by WM Donald staff a lot of who were apprentices themselves including one former pupil based round the construction industry including:

  • Mono Blocking
  • Drainage
  • Excavator Simulator
  • Site Set up
  • Build a Bridge
  • Plant Hire

A great experience for our pupils and thank to all WM Donald staff and DYW NE for making this happen.
