Philosophy Club has come to the Del Monte campus!
Students from Year 2 to Year 4 have started pondering the big ideas of life through a weekly Philosophy Club. Story books provide provocations for philosophical questions such as ‘What makes someone or something worthy of respect?’’ and ‘How should we treat our friends?’ Research shows that students who are exposed to philosophical thinking improve their reasoning, communication and emotional management.
Student Reflections
I enjoy having deep thoughts so when I joined I enjoyed that there were people that had strong opinions like me. I like to have a good debate so it was fun having a team to debate with. I like how we get to express our ideas,thoughts and opinions.
