The judges this year commented that the standard of the competition was the highest they had seen.  There was even a delay as the judges debated themselves on the  final awarding of marks.  Our students competed really well and enjoyed the evening.

A Philosothon is concerned with big questions, questions at the edge of science and reason. Each school selects between 5-8 students to represent the school and together they explore philosophical and ethical issues orally.
