moths since we started collecting.

Trent and Lorraine JENKINS



Thanks Trent for making our moth catcher and display cases.
Trent also supports the odd things I do as a collector, encouraging 
and supporting the class and myself.

Ted EDWARDS.

Ted has supposedly retired from the C.S.I.R.O. in Canberra, but is 
probably busier than ever.
He has a wealth of knowledge and has identified many moths for us.

Makira     

Makira supplies us with lots of moths from out of town, and allows me to set up my moth trap near her home many warm nights.
I have even had the fairies visit my moth trap there and leave me 
chocolates and a friendly note.

Commonwealth Bank e-Learning grant.

 

In 2002 , we won a grant of $5,000 from the Commonwealth Bank, enabling us to buy two computers, a good printer, digital camera, show cases for our moths and Professional Development for the teacher to make this web page.

This has been a great help in  learning for our class.

It is encouraging when business invests in the education of our children.

Department of Education and Children's Services.

We were able to purchase a microscope that plugs into the computer, thus enabling the whole class to see small objects, thanks to an ICT Innovators Award, from DECS in August. 2002.

This has been very exciting for even the 5 year olds, as it is so simple to use.
