Financial Literacy: The need to nurture a culture of financial planning and preparation amongst our students prior to their adolescence is crucial. Financial literacy permeates within each HESC seminar, targeting both pupils and students (starting from a young age) and parents through aspects such as: being a wise consumer by carefully considering their financial choices even in simple daily decisions, for example when buying groceries; being sustainable e.g. by choosing local produce instead of imported ones when possible, choosing products with minimal packaging, opting for home-made food rather than making unhealthy/ inappropriate use of convenience food; waste-reduction tips; food rescue.
