Our Mathematics Department celebrated Pi Day in a unique way on 16 March this year! Annually, on 14 March (3/14), the mathematical constant π (3.14) is celebrated worldwide – a fascinating number that is essential for understanding circles, geometry, and even the universe itself. Pi represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and continues infinitely without repeating.
To mark this unique occasion, our Mathematics Department organised an exciting competition for learners from Grades 8 to 12. Learners were challenged to memorise as many decimal places of Pi as possible and write them down under test conditions. The competition sparked great enthusiasm and resulted in impressive achievements!
The winners per grade are as follows:
Grade 8: Karmi de Klerk (87 decimal places)
Grade 9: Lanel Coetzee (88 decimal places)
Grade 10: Daliah Levy (87 decimal places)
Grade 11: Caylin Sadie (93 decimal places)
A special congratulations goes to our overall winner, Danelle Hall (Grade 12), who named an incredible 226 decimal places of Pi correctly!
We are proud of all learners for their enthusiasm and dedication - Pi Day made mathematics both fun and challenging!
