Business, Accounting and Financial Studies (BAFS)

Mission and Visions

The overall aims of the Business, Accounting and Financial Studies (BAFS) curriculum are:

• to provide students at senior secondary level with fundamental business knowledge and skills, and develop their positive values and attitudes, so that they can fulfil their roles

• to develop students’ generic skills in research, analysis, leadership, team-building, communication, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving and transfer them to

• to explore different aspects of business to prepare students for life, for learning and for employment.

Curriculum Highlights

The BAFS curriculum is built upon a contemporary business curriculum structure planned in line with the fast-changing local and global social and economic circumstances. It draws on a range of business-related disciplines (such as accounting, business management and finance) to highlight their complex interrelationships. The learning elements are interrelated, to mirror the real business world.

It is considered that an integrated understanding of the essential business areas: business environment, accounting, management and personal finance will prepare students well for dealing with their both personal and business finance when they engage in business and financial activities such as consumption, work and investment in adulthood. The emphasis on different roles as consumer, employee, entrepreneur and investor will enhance their understanding of business knowledge as a whole, and enable them to view business-related decisions from different angles.
