14 Mar 2015
Today (March 14, 2015) is National Pi Day. This year, National Pi Day holds special significance because not only is it March 14 (3.14) in the year 2015 (15), but at 9:26:53 a.m. (92653) and p.m. (in 12-hour time), the date and time can be written as 3.141592653 … which are the first 10 digits (9 decimal places) of the irrational constant, Pi (which represents the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter). For the majority of us, this is a once in a lifetime event, as it will not happen again for another 100 years!
GRC Peakhurst Campus has celebrated the lead up to this special day by holding a Pi Hunt as well as Pi Hoop, Pi Recital and Pi Sprint competitions this week, to honour our irrational constant friend, Pi.

Happy National Pi Day of the Century to you all!
