Maryknoll Convent School
Maryknoll Convent School (MCS, Chinese: 瑪利諾修院學校) (Demonym: Maryknoller) is a Roman Catholic girls' school with primary and secondary sections in Hong Kong. It was established in 1925 by sisters of the Maryknoll Sisters, a Catholic institute founded by Mother Mary Joseph.
Its long history, traditions and distinguished academic results made Maryknoll Convent School a prestigious school in Hong Kong. The school uses English as the medium of instruction in all subjects with the exception of the subjects of Chinese Language, Chinese History and Mandarin.
In 2024, Maryknoll Convent School ranked 13th amongst the 445 schools in Hong Kong that offer the local Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education curriculum. BigExam based its rankings on several criteria, including but not limited to the school's HKDSE performance and the percentage of students pursuing further education after graduating. The school also counted a total of 15 winners of the Hong Kong Outstanding Students Awards throughout its history.
Maryknoll Convent School is located in Kowloon Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
In 1921, an organisation called Maryknoll Sisters went from the United States to Hong Kong after its founder Mary Joseph Rogers said, 'Let's see what God has in store for us.' On 11 February 1925, Mary Paul began teaching 12 students various subjects in the Convent Parlour at 103 Austin Road. In 1931, due to the growing number of students and teachers, the school moved to 248 Prince Edward Road. The school moved again in 1936 to the current campus at 130 Waterloo Road.
In 1941, the Maryknoll Sisters left Hong Kong and closed the school because the Japanese army invaded Hong Kong. In 1945, after the Japanese surrendered, the school reopened.
In 1960, a new section was inaugurated at 5 Ho Tung Road for the secondary section. The primary section remains at 130 Waterloo Road. The Maryknoll Student Association was set up for the Secondary Section in 1967 under the guidance of Sr Jeanne Houlihan. In 1971, an experimental administrative system, a Staff Council, was set up in the Secondary Section; it was later replaced by a School Advisory Committee and General Staff Assembly in 2001. The student prefect system was instituted in 1989. The MCS Educational Trust was founded in May 1992 to advance education at Maryknoll.
Since 1997, the primary section has been converted to a whole-day school. The school's parent-teacher associations were set up in 2001–02. As of 2005, the Maryknoll Convent School Foundation has replaced the Maryknoll Sisters as the sponsoring body of the school.
