From 16 to 20 March, our school celebrated International Pi Week, a dynamic event highlighting the importance and beauty of mathematics, with a special focus on the constant π (pi). The week aimed to spark curiosity and engage students through a variety of interactive activities.

Each day, the school published an article exploring a different mathematical topic, often connected to the use of pi in real-world contexts such as geometry, measurement, and science. Alongside each article, students were invited to answer a set of related questions, encouraging them to think critically and apply their mathematical knowledge.

The response across the school was impressive, with hundreds of students participating throughout the week. Their enthusiasm demonstrated a strong interest in mathematics and a willingness to take on new challenges. To celebrate participation, one winner was drawn each day from all students who submitted their answers, adding a sense of excitement and friendly competition. The winners are Year 7 Jackson Bezzina B19, Year 8s Ronav Ramjutton H16 and Xavier Sacdalan N19, and Year 9s Riley Hunter H11 and Tinura Fonseka H11.

A highlight of the week was the achievement of Year 8 Jonathan Jiang B13, who successfully recited pi to 99 digits, showcasing exceptional memory and dedication. This accomplishment inspired many and captured the spirit of Pi Week.

Overall, International Pi Week was a great success, promoting engagement, learning, and a deeper appreciation of mathematics across the school community.
