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).
