Junior form students learnt the concepts of money management by enjoying the drama of MPFA. Apart from the performance, students joined the activities as well.

Students listened to the introduction and daily operation of Mad head Limited by a developer of a well-known mobile application, Tower of Saviors. Students adopted the knowledge from the lesson for the discussion and presentation about how to prepare themselves for entering the mobile gaming industry.

Students can learn correct financial concepts and practical skills through fun and engaging activities.
