The highlight of this year’s Personal Finance Week was the S3 3D-printing Mascot Design Competition organized jointly by the BAFS and ICT Department. S3 students designed their restaurant mascots based on the promotion tactics learned from BAFS and 3D-modeling technique from ICT. All junior students and teachers could vote for their favourite Mascot designed by the S3 classes. The S3 winning classes were presented with certificates and gifts.
Thanks to the help from Library, reading articles were prepared for all students, sharing the significance of early saving and consumption discipline. Recommended business-related books were displayed in the Library for students’ borrowing.
During lunchtime, students learned personal finance knowledge along with corresponding pop songs during English and Putonghua radio broadcasts. Besides radio broadcasts, they could also watch a range of business-themed television episodes on Campus TV.
