HKICPA Experiential Learning Activity Series 2023/24 - Accounting Workshop

Six of our F.5 BAFS students recently participated in an Accounting Workshop organized by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA).

The event began with an enlightening session by the Senior Operation Manager of FSE Environmental Solutions Limited with valuable insights on "Diversity in Accounting: Profession and Career Aspirations for the Industry." Our students were captivated by the speaker's extensive knowledge and gained a deeper understanding of the vast opportunities within the accounting field.

The second part of the workshop involved a stimulating case study led by representatives from the HKICPA, focusing on evaluating a company's financial performance. Our students were enthusiastically engaged in the study, showcasing their analytical skills and innovative ideas.

This workshop proved to be an exceptional platform for our students to expand their network by interacting with fellow secondary school students sharing the same passion for accounting. It not only broadened their horizons but also fostered their career vision of the accounting profession.

JA Meet My Goals Mentorship Program

Our F.3, F.4 and F.5 BAFS and Economics students recently completed the JA Meet My Goals Mentorship Program organized by Junior Achievement Hong Kong (JA HK) and sponsored by Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). Participating in regular workshops and mentorship meetings with business volunteers from BNY Mellon focusing on financial as well as career and life planning education, our students were guided to set a saving target with the program offering a 1:1 matching fund, amounting to HK$1,000 per participant at most.
