September, 2011 - Australasian PHILOSOTHON

Expression of Interest Request to Canberra Secondary Teachers


History: The Philosothon concept was inaugurated at Hale School in Perth by Matthew Wills and Leanne Rucks in 2007. In 2010, the first Victorian Philosothon was held at Ballarat Grammar City Site. For more information on this exciting idea, see the website.

Description: Students participate in four 30 minutes “Communities of Inquiry” (COIs) on four topics. Twelve COIs run simultaneously for each of the four topics. Topics will be publicized in Term One 2012.

A trophy is awarded to the winning school and medallions awarded in various categories. All students receive a certificate to honour their selection to represent their school.
