Mechanics in training

Geographe Primary School students have been picking up trades skills first hand through a Young Mechanics program launched recently.

Year 6 and 7 students have been taking part in weekly workshops under the mechanical expertise of local Warren Bywaters.

The group started with small engines from motorcycles and lawnmowers but principal Tim Baker said it was possible an old car could be used for the studies.

Mr Baker said the business community had donated equipment including a work bench and tools to the group but the group was looking for overalls as well as more benches and tools to help continue the program.

To donate contact the school on 9754 0100.
