Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Decide your admission path for Primary 1. Maryknoll Convent School (Primary Section) uses two main entry routes: Central Allocation (EDB) and Special Admission (school-based). For Central Allocation in 2026, the Education Bureau will inform eligible families in mid‑January 2026 to make school choices via the POA e-platform, and those bound to their ePlatform account with iAM Smart+ may submit the Choice of Schools Form electronically. Special Admission is a separate route; details are published on the school site in mid‑May each year.
The school's Primary One process operates through Central Allocation (EDB) and a School-based Special Admission route, followed by a Discretionary Places (DP) process handled by the school. The Education Bureau central allocation allocates places “as far as possible” based on parental choice, and the school publishes DP results as part of its allocation process.
Maryknoll Convent School (Primary Section) is an all‑girls Catholic day school located at 130 Waterloo Road in Kowloon.

Since 1997 the Primary Section has operated as a whole‑day, non‑boarding school for students in Primary 1–6. The school runs a school‑based curriculum designed by its Curriculum, Learning and Teaching Committee, with emphasis on holistic development, values education and STEAM‑oriented learning. English is the language of instruction in the English language curriculum; Chinese is taught as a separate subject, and Putonghua (Mandarin) is offered as an additional language. The Principal is Ada Chan. The school serves girls aged approximately 6–12 and provides a wide range of ECAs and clubs, including Debate Team, Drama Club (Cantonese) and STEM Club.
