The example set by @BigmacTheKing and his team @HolyCrossBoys with their philosophical approach to education is simply incredible. If you haven’t watched this, go and take the time….you’ll not regret it and you might just learn something. #ifIcandream bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

The award-winning documentary Young Plato airs tonight at 10:40pm on @BBCOneNI. The film is about a PS in Ardoyne that invokes the wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers to restore hope in a battered community. The documentary was supported by NI Screen. bit.ly/3rpZC19

100 day social work placement done! Tomorrow I start my new job as a family practitioner in safeguarding while I wait for my final degree results and registration when I will officially be a social worker! The end is in touching distance!

Er, can we step back and take a minute to appreciate a film about the #DeafCommunity and #CODA with a predominantly deaf cast actually won the #BestPicture #Oscar ?? ^^^ This is a pretty big deal.
