Announcing the NATIONAL JUNIOR ENTOMOLOGY BUG CLUB
The National Junior Entomology (The Bug Club) Group is now accepting young students for an Australia Wide On-Line program learning all about insects and other related invertebrates. Already, many young students with a keen interest in insects have become members and are looking forward to the yearly program starting in Term 1.
For all the kids out there fascinated with insects and other micro critters, this is the group for you!!. We'll meet On-Line every Tuesday (Class A) and Wednesday (Class B) at 5:30 to 6:00 PM during School Terms 1-4 to learn and talk about all things insect.
Students will learn how to study and collect them, how to start their own proper insect collections and begin an amazing journey of discovery into the world of insects and their relatives.
As students gain more knowledge and experience, they will be able to progress towards gaining their Entomology Club Grade Level Awards and will also work towards preparing, curating and displaying their entomological collections and acquired entomological skills at our National Entomology Insect Expo in October 2025!!. Parents, this is a perfect opportunity to help nurture your childs scientific interest and curiosity while they gain a valuable appreciation of the environment as they develop into adolescence.
A huge thank you for the support given to our students by Australian Entomological Supplies PTY LTD, for offering a 10% discount available to our Junior Club Members wishing to purchase supplies and other items directly from AES.
