Think Think Respond (TTR) Philosophy in Holy Cross Boys’ Primary School by Kevin McArevey
HCB was delighted with the huge turnout at the Houben Centre today when Mr McArevey launched his highly anticipated book, Think Think Respond (TTR) Philosophy in Holy Cross Boys’. TTR was Mr McArevey’s vision to provide a book which would help and support schools to effortlessly infuse philosophy into their curriculum.
Thank you to our wonderful compere for the occasion, Nuala McKeever (Actor/Comedian) and guest speakers, Aidan Donaldson (Author), Dr Séamus Ó Donnghaile (Principal Bunscoil Mhic Reachtain), Brian McKee (Chaplain HCB and Author) and Dr Jeremy Watkins (Philosophy Lecturer at QUB.
Copies are available at the school and all proceeds go to school funds.
