Last year the GBHS student council proposed the introduction of sweatshirts to our uniform. They worked through a great process and this term surveyed students in Years 9-12 to find out what they thought about the proposed sweatshirts. The great news is that 95% of the students who took part in the survey loved the sweatshirts! We are now working with our uniform supplier on the timeline……they are not in stock yet, but we will let you know when they are. Congratulations to **Harrison Clark-Robinson**, **Henry Jansen** and **Annie-Rose Collins** for all their work in making this happen and to all the students who took part in the process. Have a great weekend.

Daniel (Year 11) memorised 199 digits of pi - winning 50 House Points for Piha! So, what is the explanation of pi? The definition of pi is simple: It's a circle's circumference divided by its diameter. (The diameter is twice the radius or double the length from any point on the circle to its center. The circumference is the distance around a circle.)… 10th March 2023 at 9:30am [Who Ate All The Pi's?
