In 2024, the school organized an inter-house Vending Machine Business Proposal Competition, inviting students to form teams and participate. To prepare the students, the school held 2-day training sessions conducted by teachers from the Accounting, Business, Economics, and BTEC departments. Additionally, Ms. Jennifer Lam, the PTA Chairperson, was invited to provide insights into the accounting and operational aspects of running vending machines.
On June 22, 2024, the student teams showcased their proposals for managing the school’s vending machines in the upcoming academic year. Each team had 5 minutes to present their plans and then answered questions from the judges.
The school was pleased to have an esteemed panel of adjudicators for the competition. Professor Godwin Wong, the Resident Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, served as the lead adjudicator. Ms. Jennifer Lam, the PTA Chairperson, and Ms. Annette Lau, the PTA Vice Chairperson, also participated as adjudicators. All three have extensive experience in business and entrepreneurship.
The student presentations were outstanding, and their responses to the adjudicators’ questions were apt. The adjudicators were impressed by the students’ efforts and commitment, as expressed in the feedback session.
In the end, the winning team was from Kenny House. The team comprised Sin Hong Yu (F.4S), Fung Wan Hei Scarlet (F.4T), Liu Yan Kiu Tianna (F.4A), Au Yan Yuet (F.4A), and Choi Hai Tung Hazel (F4U). The winning team was awarded certificates and scholarships, and the prize ceremony is scheduled for the upcoming Speech Day.
