This year, once again, featured their Pi-digits competition, where girls had to learn the digits of pi and write them down under test conditions, on March 14.
An overall winner and one winner per grade were chosen. The overall winner won a gift voucher and the Pi Day trophy.
This year, the reigning Pi-Queen, Dayna Mc Clean, in Grade 10, exceeded her previous record of 611 digits of pi and correctly wrote down 1 011 digits of pi.
This is an amazing accomplishment and Dayna is yet again the All African record holder for the most digits of pi.
Hilda Maseko, in Grade Nine, came second. She attempted to write 1 000 digits, but made four errors.
Hilda was the first one being at the 201st digit of pi. Thus, she correctly wrote down 200 digits of pi.
It takes weeks to learn these digits in the correct order. There is no pattern to them, so girls have to be very creative in learning these digits.
The school also had the Amazing Pi Race, where girls had to use logic and their knowledge of the digits of pi to follow clues in order to win a cash prize.
These clues were not easy. One of them included learning to play the digits of pi on the piano.
