Maths Week took place during Week 5 of this term. Throughout the week, we featured daily problems in the daily notices. Many students attempted these problems, and the student who submitted the correct solution first was declared the daily winner. Congratulations to the following students, who were crowned the daily winners:
- Monday- Cormac Brady (Year 10)
- Tuesday- Archie Gould (Year 7)
- Wednesday- Isaac McCudden (Year 11)
- Thursday- Jonathan Lin and Zane Everson (Year 11)
Additionally, each day featured math-based activities during lunchtime. On Monday, we played mathematics-themed bingo; on Tuesday, we took the human pi photo; Wednesday was filled with speed chess; and on Thursday, we enjoyed a game of Blackjack. The winners of each activity were also awarded prizes. Congratulations to the following winners:
Luke Ritcher (Year 8) Bingo- Harry Evans (Year 10) Bingo
- Kayn O’Connor Stewart (Year 11) Blackjack
- Ryder Bourke (Year 8) Blackjack
- Toby Pranzo-Fernandez (Year 8) Chess Winner
- Taj Probert (Year 11) Chess Runner Up
Finally, Maths Week concluded with the Friday morning assembly, where we held our annual Pi Challenge. The rules for the Pi Challenge are simple: we gather our finalists, and the first student begins by stating the first digit of pi. Each student then takes turns announcing the next digit, passing the microphone along after their turn. If a student states an incorrect digit, they are eliminated, and the challenge continues until only one student remains. It took several digits of pi to determine the 2025 Pi Challenge champion. It is with great pleasure that I announce the following winner and place getters:
- Zane Everson (Year 11) First Place
- Tristan Pearce- Maitland (Year 11) Second Place
- Oliver Black (Year 7) Third Place.
Overall, it was great to see so many students enjoying mathematics. Looking forward to next year.
