** Philosophy: Exercise Your Brain **
Tomorrow, we will introduce the concept of philosophy and have a go at beginning to engage in philosophical arguments and reasoning. We will discuss philosophical ideas such as values, ethics and notions of "right & wrong". On Wednesday we will travel to Headspace's Collingwood headquarters. Headspace is Australia's leading youth mental health service and we will be lucky enough to be joined by Dr. Matthew Currie, a clinical psychologist who specialises in working with young people. He will conduct a workshop where we investigate our own ideas, philosophies and values. We are incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to work with Dr Currie and the workshop promises to be a fascinating insight into why we think what we think and why we do what we do.
