1. Admission framework and routes. Maryknoll Convent School (Secondary Section) follows the Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) system. Students are admitted either through discretionary places or via the Education Bureau's (EDB) allocation process. For discretionary places, applicants may apply to up to two secondary schools participating in the SSPA system; this school's discretionary places total 54 for 2026–2027 (subject to final approval). The school confirms these arrangements and directs applicants to use the SSPA framework for entry.
There is no separate, school-run waitlist published for admission. Admissions are governed by the SSPA system, with discretionary-place announcements and allocations managed through the EDB framework.
Maryknoll Convent School offers an Internal Scholarships program that recognises outstanding students across categories such as academic work, civic awareness, community service, creativity, leadership, music and art, spiritual devotion, and sports.
The school also highlights External Scholarships and Awards with multiple entries per year (e.g., Jockey Club Volunteer Together programs and other disciplinary/organizational scholarships).
Maryknoll Convent School (Secondary Section) is an aided girls' school located at 5 Ho Tung Road in Kowloon Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The Secondary Section sits on the same Kowloon Tong campus as the Primary Section (primary at Waterloo Road) and moved to 5 Ho Tung Road in 1960 to accommodate increasing student numbers. The school follows a six-year, Form 1–Form 6 curriculum under a school-based curriculum framework designed to align with the Hong Kong education system and to support a seamless transition from junior to senior secondary education. English is the primary language of instruction for most subjects, with Chinese language taught as part of the core program. The school offers a broad range of co-curricular activities, including leadership opportunities through the Student Association, performing arts ensembles (e.g., choir and orchestra), and service-oriented clubs; it also participates in joint-school exchanges and competitions. The principal is Meimei Chan (as of August 2025).
