We are delighted to announce that three of our students, Avi (U6J2), Dhilan (U621) and Rayaan (U6J2), were shortlisted for the annual Schroders Economics Essay Prize Competition. Run in conjunction with the The Haberdashers’ Company, the contest is open to all Habs students.
Head Boy Avi was awarded the best essay on a topic set by Schroders, this year’s question was ‘How Far will high inflation prove a permanent feature of the economy?’
A victory to savour
Avi and Dhilan were invited to Habs Hall for the awards ceremony itself, whilst Rayaan was unfortunately unable to attend due to exams. Accompanied by Dr St John, both Avi and Dhilan met with leading figures from the world of finance and the Haberdashers’ Company. The event was followed by a special awards lunch.
Competition for the top spot was tight, so it was a great achievement when Avi was declared winner.
Big win for Economics department
On receiving the award, Avi also secured a generous grant from Schroders for the Habs Economics Department. Under the leadership of Mrs Wolfson, the department has done so much to encourage and support students entering the contest, so well done Mrs Wolfson and her team.
The picture shows Avi and Dhilan alongside Caroline Davis, Chairman of the Haberdashers’ Charities Committee and co-founder of the prize. The contest proved a great experience for our students and we look forward to more Habs entries in the future.
