BSHM 1D students crafted their product plans. This output highlights a financial blueprint in the form of food costing behind development of their own products which is an integral aspect of this course.

This activity will not only help the students be equipped with knowledge in terms of food costing, check the real-life market trends and the ever-changing costs of raw materials in the market, but will also help the students exemplify the Cecilian Core Value of Innovativeness.

TM 3rd year students conducted an ad hoc tour which aimed to combine experiential learning with student leadership, initiative, and collaboration. The tour was entirely planned, coordinated, and managed by the students. Each of the members assigned committees (e.g., logistics, finance, documentation, food, safety) and responsibilities, each with specific tasks. The destination was selected based on educational value, family or relative preferences, and student management.

The student-organized tour is to foster experiential learning through real-world exposure, while simultaneously cultivating critical life skills such as leadership, teamwork, planning, budgeting, and communication.
