HSUHK Personal Finance Literacy Event for Secondary Schools 2024 cum Award Presentation

The School of Business and the Department of Economics and Finance co-organised a team-based competition targeted for senior secondary students from March to May this year. The theme was “Stay Alert to Money Traps – The Earlier, the Better” 「( 理財關注『早』WhatsApp貼圖設計比賽」), in encouraging secondary school students to create WhatsApp stickers to alert their peers on financial management and be cautious about financial scams. The competition attracted participation from 27 secondary schools, with NLSI Lui Kwok Pat Fong College winning the championship. The award presentation ceremony was held on 27 June 2024.

High school is the perfect time to learn personal finance skills because students are just about to start making their own decisions about their own money. At that age, students are transitioning from being kids to young adults. Exchanging experience and alerting each others among peers could prevent them from falling into money traps. Dr Thomas LEUNG, Associate Dean of the School, expressed his hope that through this competition, young people can spread financial education messages to their peers and provide mutual guidance.

The Judging Panel consisted of the Hon Edward Leung HEI, Legislative Councilor, HKSAR; Ms Dora LI, General Manger of Investor and Financial Education; Ms Elaine SHIU, Chairperson of the Youth Innovation Development Charity Association and Dr Thomas LEUNG, Associate Dean of the School of Business. They selected the top eight winning teams. It was important to note that the Youth Innovation Development Charity Association served as the sponsoring organisation for the competition, providing support and resources to ensure its success.
