Our Secondary students recently celebrated Pi Day with the Mathematics Department. Pi Day is a day when mathematicians all over the world commemorate the irrational and fascinating digits of the mathematical constant π. Derived from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, π is found in many other interesting places, such as sharing the first few digits of Albert Einstein’s birthday, who was born on March 14 1879 (3.14).
This year, students in our Years 7, 8 and 10 classes enjoyed a Pi Day treasure hunt trail with creative activities prepared by our Mathematics teachers in their classrooms. The enthusiastic students solved various Pi puzzles while attempting to collect their Pi badges from all their teachers.
Many of our students completed more than 10 challenges and earned all their Pi badges. Our Mathematics teachers enjoy sharing their passion for their subject and as we guide our students in exploring questions related to Pi, we aim to help them discover the meaning behind learning Mathematics and connecting it to the world around us.
