Philosothon
The Philosothon is an event that encourages students to investigate ethical
and other philosophical questions in the context of ‘communities of inquiry’.
Participating in the event helps the student to develop higher order thinking
and communication skills through a series of discussions with students from
other schools. These discussions are facilitated by teachers with expertise in
Philosophy and are adjudicated by a panel of university academics in
Philosophy. Some examples include: Do we own our own bodies? Is beauty
purely subjective? The actual event is held in Term 3, where you will be
competing against other schools in Western Australia. If you like asking ethical
questions, this may be the perfect activity for you. Students are welcome to
nominate for this activity on the Parent Portal, but will be notified if they have
been selected.
