The Primary 6/5 pupils from St Muns Primary in Dunoon, recently spent two days visiting the Technical Department in Dunoon Grammar School, making their own guitars. Having been given a basic specification for a guitar, the pupils came up with their own unique designs and with the help of Mr Mollins and some S3 pupils, who acted as team leaders, they constructed the guitar parts from wood and pieced them together.

The children were given the chance to use all of the machinery and tools in the Technical Lab (including the very exciting laser cutter!) and have developed many new skills from their experience. They would like to offer a big thank you to Mr Mollins and all the staff and pupils who assisted on the days. Some of the completed guitars were then raffled in the school’s Lenten fund-raising challenge which raised a massive £1020 for charities.
