Queensland Philosothon

Four Students, Noah Beasley, Madison Randl, Shaylen Stone and Lachlan Buchanan represented the college at the UQ Philosothon.  The Queensland Philosothon is an annual academic challenge where students from Queensland schools improve skills in argumentation and explore philosophical issues.

It is a program designed to develop the ability of students to critically analyse ideas and concepts. Some topics discussed include: free will is not important, we care more for some animals than for some people, and that’s OK, some cultures are better than others. It was an excellent performance by our students and they were well regarded by the evaluators and participants. We look forward to taking part in this enriching experience next year.
