Congratulations to Ms O Brien's TY Philosophy class who have a starring role today in the Irish Times article entitled 'Philosophy in the Classroom, It's ok not to find an exact answer'. Joe Humphreys describes Ms O Brien's TY Philosophy class that takes place every Wednesday. Isobelle McLoughlin and Sarah Norris also talk in the article about what happens in the classroom and how a Philosophy class is conducted. Jenny Lynch and Lily Thorup also contributed to the article as all 4 girls also entered the Irish Young Philosopher's Award. The 4 girls and Ms O' Brien spoke recently at the Irish Young Philosopher's Award ceremony held in Aras an Uachtarain attended by President Higgins. Well done to all involved.

This week's poem is an extract from 'Buried Light' by Beau Taplin, and is dedicated to Ms. Kelly who requested something short and sweet :) Home is not where you are from it is where you belong. Some of us travel the whole world to find it. Others find it in a person.
