We are looking forward to seeing you for Philosophy over Pizza today at 5pm. 

There are still places available, so feel free to bring a friend (friends will be BYO pizza, as the order has been placed). 

Just a reminder that tonight's POP is being held at the Wesley Community Centre. One of our helpful committee members will be on the door from 4:50pm to welcome you. 

See you there!

Philosophy Over Pizza is a popular Explorers get together for older kids, now running twice each term. If you haven't tried it before, come and give it a go. This is a great opportunity to meet regularly with other curious minds and make social connections. 

The two groups running at this session are:

Senior POP (age guide 12+) and Structured POP (age guide 9+) 

Senior POP is aimed at older students who want to do more than just hang out on a Saturday evening. These sessions are very social and free flowing (parents tend to leave the group to their discussions).

Our senior facilitator, Daniel Haig, recently graduated from the University of Auckland with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Sociology. Daniel wants to foster independent thinking in young people through philosophy and knows how to question to encourage deep thinking. Daniel's group had a really good time earlier this month! He's looking forward to another round of great discussions. 

Structured POP is facilitated by volunteer Explorers parents/educators and parents are welcome to listen in or leave the group to their discussions. The structured session will open the door on philosophy and show Explorers what it is all about. The Explorers in this session will consider useful ideas from known philosophers and start asking questions of their own. We will enjoy an hour or so of philosophical discussion followed by construction or board games.

All this and pizza* too!

*Pizza will be ordered from the Dominos "Value Range" at a cost of $5.00/pizza and collected from 421A Sandringham Road. Check out the menu before completing your registration form https://www.dominos.co.nz/menu .

We are happy to place special orders to accommodate your kid's dietary requirements/preferences. Please use the Dominos website to price up your special pizza and deposit the correct amount to our account. 

SAVE THE DATE for our second session of Term 3 - Saturday 11 September 2021

Parents are asked to please stay on site during the session or nominate an attending adult to be responsible for their child. Tea and coffee will be available, as this is a great opportunity to meet other parents.
