The King’s Hospital was proud to host one of the Regional Qualifiers for this year’s annual Pi Competition, organised by the Irish Mathematics Teachers Association (IMTA) for Third Year students. The school welcomed 22 teams from 6 different schools for what proved to be a thrilling and closely contested afternoon of mathematical excellence.
From the opening rounds, it was clear that the standard of competition was exceptionally high. Teams traded places throughout the day, with the leaderboard shifting right up to the final stages — a testament to the talent and determination on display across all participating schools.
The King’s Hospital School students rose magnificently to the occasion, with three of our teams finishing in the top four overall. The standout performance came from our all-girl team, who secured third place after a dramatic tie-break round against Castleknock College — a nerve-wracking finish that had everyone on the edge of their seats.
KH Results at a Glance
- 3rd Place — after tie-break vs Castleknock College – Emily Finn, Margarete Groepler, Cathy Wan & Sheenagh Wang
- Joint 4th Place – Ronan Kelly, Himank Miglani, Liam Jacquinot Twomey & Matthew Cameron
- Joint 4th Place – Liam Pansegrow O’Carroll, Shilin Hottie, Dheeraj Ramalingam & Hamid Toseef (Tied on the same score as the team above)
An incredible result that underlines just how strong our 3rd Year cohort is in mathematics this year. To have three teams finishing so close to the podium in a field of 22 is a remarkable achievement.
Congratulations to all twelve students involved, and a warm thank you to everyone who helped organise and host the event here at The King’s Hospital School. We look forward to seeing how our qualifiers progress through the competition. Well done to all!
