The Mathematics Faculty celebrated Pi Day with a mathematical extravaganza. We dove into the captivating world of Pi as students challenged themselves to recite its digits to as many decimal places as possible.
Another activity engaged the students in the pursuit of precision as participants endeavoured to draw a perfect circle. The Marian Centre was filled with fun, competition, and a celebration of the beauty of mathematics! 45 students entered the Pi recital, and 60 students entered the perfect circle competition.
Fantastic effort for our first Pi Day. Hoping that next year will be even bigger and better.
