By James Kon

Slide presentation on the history of HSBC

A group of 20 students from St. James School made an educational visit to Hong Kong and Shanghai's Banking Corporation (HSBC) headquarters in the capital yesterday morning. Mr Rosli, the bank's Human Resource officer, said it is hoped that the visit will broaden the students' knowledge on the banking sector as well as learning more about HSBC, so that one day they might pursue a career in the sector.

During the visit, the visitors were briefed on HSBC structure and organisation whereby the students were introduced to the history of HSBC in Brunei and all the financial services that HSBC has to offer in Brunei as well as around the world. A video clip on the bank's promotional effort and how it works together in different parts of the world to solve problems was also presented.

After the briefing, the students visited the banking facilities like the Call Centre, Treasury Department and Mailing System at the HSBC headquarters.

Miss Ovilie, the teacher from St. James School, who led the visit, said the educational tour was aimed to familiarise the students with the banking system and information technologies used in the banking sector as the students were from the commerce and computer studies classes.
