STUDENTS and teachers from Holsworthy Community College have expressed thanks for the donation of new benches.

The college has been given two benches by Mole Valley Farmers and material to construct two more from RGB Building Supplies, Holsworthy.

Representatives from the two companies visited the college to meet the Year 10 resistant materials students who constructed the benches and were thanked by students and staff for their help.

The group of Year 10 students, who are currently studying for their GCSE in resistant materials, put together the two benches donated by Mole Valley Farmers. They then used these as a template to redesign two more benches with the materials donated by RGB.

Mr Rowe, technology teacher, said: “A big thank you to Mole Valley Farmers and RGB from the students who are already making good use of them in the early summer sunshine. A big thank you also to Mr K Vile for organising all of the above.”
