Annual College Pi Day Competition

On 14 March each year, mathematical minds around the world celebrate Pi Day, in recognition of the infinite number, pi (or π, as it is more commonly known).

The pi recital competition is an annual tradition at the College. Students are invited to recite 20 or more digits of pi. Any student who can reach this goal wins a delicious meat pie (or something to their liking for lunch)!

At Cobblebank Campus, Year 7 student Savanah (pictured right) blitzed the competition reciting 100 digits! An amazing effort. Fellow Year 7 student Aish recited 69, closely followed by Year 7 student Pall with 64.

This year, 32 students entered and completed the competition at Melton Campus. Special mentions go to Year 10 student Martha, who recited 72 digits, Year 9 student Molly, who recited 76 digits, and Year 9 student Gabrielle, who recited a full 100 digits!

Thanks to Year 12 students Madeline, Bella and Olivia who volunteered to help judge the competition.
