Annual School Report 2016-2017
Our School
Introduction
Maryknoll Convent School (MCS) Secondary Section is an EMI Anglo-Chinese Roman Catholic day
school for girls. It is financially assisted by the Government of the Hong Kong SAR as a “Grant-in-Aid”
School. The language of instruction at MCS is English except in classes where Chinese or Putonghua
constitutes the subject material.
History
In 1925, the Maryknoll Sisters began teaching 12 students in the convent parlour at 103 Austin Road.
They taught classes in basic subjects. In the decades that followed, the number of students grew, as did
the number of teaching staff. After six years on Prince Edward Road, Maryknoll Convent School (MCS)
moved to Boundary Street in 1937. World War II interrupted their teaching, but the Sisters resumed
their work in 1945. In 1960, the Secondary Section relocated to 5 Ho Tung Road while the Primary
Section remained on Boundary Street. From an initial class of 12 students and a few Sisters, the school
(both primary and secondary sections) has grown to its current full capacity of 2000 students with a
faculty of over 100.
Since 2005, the Maryknoll Convent School Foundation Ltd., comprising Maryknoll Sisters and former
teachers and students, has assumed the sponsorship of the school.
School Facilities
The secondary section of MCS has been operating in a single building of three storeys. The Jockey
Club Wing with additional classrooms and other facilities was erected in 1995. There are 31
classrooms as well as laboratories for biology, chemistry, physics, and junior science. In addition to a
lecture room, the student canteen, assembly hall, conference room, staff resource rooms, staffroom,
prefects' room, Student Association room and prayer room, there are special rooms assigned to visual
arts, music, cookery, sewing and computer studies. In 2002, a Multi-Media Learning Centre was added
to facilitate computer-assisted learning of all subjects. There are also outdoor and covered playgrounds
and a swimming pool and basketball court shared with the primary school. The campus features lawns,
trees, bushes and flowerbeds.
The Rogers Annexe, constructed under the School Improvement Programme, was opened in September
2004. This has facilitated various aspects of learning with the provision of more classrooms as well as
rooms for specific functions, namely the Multi-Purpose Area, Student Activity Centre, extended Library,
and the Computer Assisted Learning, Geography, Careers, Character Building Committee, Guidance
Activity and Editorial Board Rooms, etc.
In 2016-2017, all classrooms and special rooms are covered with wi-fi. E-Learning is further
enhanced.

School Management
School Organization: We follow the school-based style of management with the sponsoring body
exercising the highest authority. The Maryknoll Convent School Secondary Section Incorporated
Management Committee was established on 31 August 2013. Different partners on the Management
Committee work together in the management of the school.
The school administration is made up of the Curriculum and Academic Affairs Team, the General
Resources Management Team, the Student Support & Pastoral Care Team and the School Development
Team under the leadership of the 4 Core Groups and the Principal. The core group members are in
charge of the Key Learning Areas, pastoral care, character-building, counselling, ECA, Global,
Citizenship & Civic Education, environmental protection, community service, religious activities, IT etc.
In addition, the School Advisory Committee and the General Staff Assembly liaise between staff and the
school administration and take part in decision-making.
The school first implemented school-based management in 2000. The IMC was founded in 2013.

Annual School Report 2016-2017
Achievements and Reflection on Selected School Goals
Priority Task 1: To encourage and empower our students and staff to pursue excellence and
realize their potential to the full.
Ultimate Targets:
I. To develop and enhance the capacity of staff and students. (Pursue Excellence, Realize Full
Potential & Be Forward-Looking)
II. To develop and enhance students’ 21st Century Learning Skills: critical thinking, creative
thinking, communication and collaborating skills. (Pursue Excellence; Realize Full
Potential; Be Forward-Looking)
III. To develop and enhance students’ 21st Century Literacy Skills: information literacy, media
literacy and technology literacy (Pursue Excellence; Realize Full Potential & Be Forward-
Looking).
Achievements:
Students’ participation rate in competitions throughout the year was quite high. Compared
to previous years, there was a noticeable change in participation rate of different kinds of
activities. A drop was perceived in the participation of Chinese and English events, while
Sports and Arts remained high. The drop may be due to a changing focus and a lower
participation rate in mass events. There was a significant growth in the participation of
STEM-related activities which were demanding in both time and effort. Despite the lower
participation and entry rate, many of the students were able to attain good results in
competitions. The awards-to-entry ratio of 2016-2017 could be compared favourably to that
of previous years. It demonstrated consistently good performance of our students in
different events.
More students were taking an interest in STEM-related activities and competitions. Pleasing
results were achieved in competitions. Teachers actively facilitated such activities both
inside and outside school. Students who took part in research-related competitions found
them rewarding and were keen to start preparing for similar activities in the coming year.
Students’ efforts were duly recognized. Their hard work paid off judging from the
comments of judges and the pleasing results. They won prizes and awards, both in and
outside Hong Kong, in Chinese and English Writing, Chinese and English debates, science
research, music and drama performances, dance and sports etc. (Refer to p. 19-38 for a
full list of awards and prizes.)
Enhancement and enrichment classes held were able to help those with different academic
5
Annual School Report 2016-2017
potentials. Students were striving to ‘realize their potential to the full’. The majority of
the students in the classes gave positive feedback. Students in enhancement classes, who
were motivated to excel, appreciated the opportunity to meet the challenge. Students in
enrichment classes found the extra guidance and support helpful. More students got Level
5** in subjects with enhancement classes.
Student-centred learning continued to be a focus. A variety of strategies have been
employed to promote student-centred learning which helps students with different interests
to maximize their potential. The use of e-Learning platforms is one of such strategies to
help students explore their own interests and learn at their own pace to stretch their
potential. Students’ motivation to learn was greatly stimulated.
The use of e-Learning tools (both hardware and software) has increased significantly. The
demand for e-Learning equipment for lessons by individuals or panels was high. Each
panel submitted e-Learning teaching plans. More e-Learning equipment was purchased to
meet the increasing demand for e-Learning tools for Teaching and Learning.
The school’s e-Learning plan with equal emphasis on the acquisition of resources, teaching
and learning strategies and staff development was on the right track.
A majority of students and teachers who engaged in e-Learning activities found the lessons
interactive and effective.
Staff development days helped to further enhance teachers’ knowledge and broaden their
horizons in different areas. Teachers were able to learn more about Cyber Threats and
their legal implications from expert speakers. Through the visit to the Civil Aviation
Department and the Science & Technology Park, teachers acquainted themselves with the
latest technology and also learnt about the latest development in the use of big data.
STEM education, which has gained considerable attention in the education arena in recent
years, was identified as being a key area for professional development of all teaching staff,
irrespective of the subject areas they specialized in.
All subject panels and committees have been able to incorporate into their year plans the
Sixteen Habits of Mind, used as a tool to fulfil the stated school goals. Certain habits of
mind and corresponding 21st Century Skills have been reinforced both in and outside class
time.
Reflection
Participation rate in competitions of various categories varied from year to year. Students’
interests change and peer group influence affect their choices. Where appropriate, teachers
will encourage students to take part in different kinds of events, especially newly organized ones.
Better time management is, of course, an important element for students to have a balanced
curricular and extra-curricular profile. While boosting participation rates has its merits, the
school will strike a balance between respecting students’ interest and not sacrificing quality for
6
Annual School Report 2016-2017
quantity.
The focus on STEM education and e-Learning in recent years has led to an injection of funding
from different sources. The school has made good use of the opportunity to acquire additional
resources for students and teachers.
The school was able to fulfil the e-Learning plans laid down. Students were able to benefit from
appropriate e-Learning activities. The additional demand for e-Learning facilities and technical
support has put a strain on our IT personnel. Additional manpower will be required to address
the additional demands. There is a need to enrich pedagogical knowledge in conducting
lessons in the technology-infused classrooms in the coming years.
Many STEM-related resources, hardware or training programmes, are available on the market.
Teachers and students concerned need to make prudent choices.
Sharing among peers could help to encourage those who have not attended suitable training
programmes to start using e-Learning tools. This is also applicable in the case of STEM
education.
In terms of the promotion of STEM education for students, the school provided suitable other
learning experiences by organizing workshops in school or facilitated students to take part in
STEM-related competitions and events. In the coming year, the school will implement
school-based STEM-related learning activities within the curriculum.
The Sixteen Habits of Mind and the corresponding 21st Century Skills were incorporated by
panels and committees in their annual plans. Having introduced a more systematic approach
to presenting the habits of mind and skills, teachers and students found it easier to remember the
‘habits’ and integrate them into the school routine. Each class focused on cultivating 2 habits
of mind as part of their class goals for the school year. Majority of the classes were able to
attain such class goals satisfactorily. Lesson plans drafted to promote targeted habits of mind by
level will be implemented in the coming year to reinforce the individual habits.
Priority Task 2: To instil in our students the importance of trust and integrity, an appreciation
for cooperative teamwork and respect for others.
Ultimate Targets
I. To develop and enhance the spirit of service by promoting the values identified: “trust”,
“integrity”, “cooperative teamwork” and “respect for others” (Serve Home, Country,
World)
II. To develop and enhance students’ 21st Century Life Skills (Flexibility, Initiative, Social Skills,
Productivity, Leadership) (Be Forward-Looking)
Achievements:
7
Annual School Report 2016-2017
Promotion of targeted values by integrating them into the annual plans of the panels and
committees has helped to develop and enhance students’ spirit of service. More than 80
percent of panels and committees could create suitable opportunities which encouraged
students to cultivate and live out the values concerned.
Some F.6 students were able to sustain their spirit of service throughout the years and
accumulated up to 800 hours of community service. They were given the highest honour
in community service upon their graduation.
The values and life skills identified could be seen as emphases in all student activities
conducted by the clubs, houses and other student groups under the auspices of the Student
Association and the Extra-curricular Activities Committee. Students’ team spirit and
leadership were greatly enhanced through such activities. Due recognition was given to
outstanding leaders and good team players. Students from both uniformed and
non-uniform groups gained awards in different competitions for their leadership and
cooperative teamwork. They demonstrated 21st Century Life skills.
‘Trust’ and ‘cooperative teamwork’ were evident in students’ outstanding performance in
team sports and other group events such as drama, debating, dance and music
performances.
The Prefects’ Board and the Character Building Committee helped to ensure that students
were able to meet the school’s expectations with regard to developing the character traits
underscoring the important values of “trust”, “integrity” and “respect for others”. Based
on records from the Prefects’ Board and Character Building Committee, it was
encouraging to find that the majority of students were able to live up to the school’s
expectations. The school was complimented on students’ good conduct and fine attitude
on different occasions by visitors and guests.
The School Programme Team also initiated programmes open to all students to develop
21st Century Life Skills. Student participants were able to perform meticulously tasks
designed to enhance the various skills. Positive feedback was collected from both
organizers and participants after the programmes.
Reflection:
The recent unrest in the world and disputes among different sectors of society again underscore
the importance of the values identified. Even greater stress needs to be placed on helping our
students to adopt solid values as there are signs that relativism has taken root in different
sectors both within and without the school. Teenagers become vulnerable prey in the face of
the contradicting messages in the adult world.
Religious and Moral Education should be further enhanced in the face of such challenges.
Activities organised by the Religious and Moral Education Committee should be further
promoted to all students irrespective of their religion and culture.
8
Annual School Report 2016-2017
The Homeroom teachers’ role is essential for helping students develop good habits and values.
The Student Support and Pastoral Care Team could coordinate the efforts of the Homeroom
Teachers Coordination Committee, the Character Building Committee, the Prefects Board and
the Counselling Committee to provide materials and programmes to help students acquire
relevant habits and values. Better planning for the use of extended homeroom periods could
facilitate the joint effort.
Service projects of different scales, both in and outside Hong Kong, could be further promoted
to facilitate students’ development of their spirit of service.
Carefully designed programmes, both in and outside school, could help cultivate the life skills
students need to meet challenges of the 21st Century.

Our Learning and Teaching
Learning & Teaching Strategies
We have clear-cut objectives and policies for fashioning a curriculum in line with the school's vision
and mission, and with the intellectual, spiritual, psychological, emotional and physical needs of our
students. We provide our students with different learning experiences as an integral part of education
for the whole person. Our curriculum is balanced, comprehensive and multi-faceted and caters for a
broad range of abilities and needs. We have flexible timetables to accommodate our diverse,
cross-curricular and extended learning activities, particularly those designed to promote civic and
moral education.
Student-centred Learning and eLearning activities are systematically introduced in class. Extended
Learning Programme lessons are in place for students to enhance their learning in different subject
areas outside the classrooms. They help to enhance the acquisition of 21st Century learning,
literacy and life skills.
Key Tasks (Reading to learn & Project-based Learning):
A reading session is built into our Monday to Thursday regular timetable. The school also runs an
on-line reading programme for Chinese books and English reading materials. In each junior form
classroom, a reading corner has been set up. Each student also keeps a reading profile listing the
books she has read. Our P.T.A. Reading Club organizes regular sharing sessions featuring famous
authors and speakers in order to promote students’ interest in reading. The school library team
introduced the mobile library and initiated book floating activities to encourage the reading habit.
Students' critical thinking skills and creativity are improved through classroom discussion, project
work and intranet learning and teaching. Form 1 students have two lessons of Project-based
Learning each week, through which they can acquire the skills required for effective independent
learning by working on group projects. They learn to carry out research on a topic of their own
interest and write up a research report at the end of the school year. As they move up to higher
forms, they expand their knowledge and skills by working on projects in different subject areas.
Teaching & Learning in Information Technology:
We have 3 computer rooms to serve our students’ needs. In addition, our students can go online in
the school library to gather information. Every one of our classrooms is equipped with a computer, a
visualizer, a screen and an LCD projector to facilitate eLearning where deemed appropriate. All
classrooms and most special rooms have wi-fi access and eLearning activities are employed when
appropriate. Computer notebooks and tablets are available to facilitate eLearning.
An intranet and tools like eCampus and eClassroom make it possible for teaching-learning and
communication to take place outside school hours and outside the school setting. Each teacher is
10
Annual School Report 2016-2017
issued with a notebook computer. Preparations have been made to facilitate e-learning in all
classrooms.
Medium of Instruction Policy:
All classes, apart from Chinese Language, Chinese History and Putonghua, are conducted in
English.
Putonghua is a compulsory subject from Forms 1 to 3. Our English Club runs the annual English
Week and English camp. Through Chinese and English reading schemes, prose reading and verse
speaking, drama and musicals, we seek to maintain a high level of proficiency in biliteracy and
trilingualism well beyond the requirements of public exams.
Curriculum Tailoring and Adaptation for Learning and Assessment:
We administer a midyear and a final examination every school year, supplemented by regular tests
and quizzes. Our method of assessment takes into consideration both a student's written assignments
and her performance in class.
The school provides additional resources to provide pull-out programmes for Non-Chinese students.
These will prepare them for the alternative Chinese Language public exams recognized by the
universities. Additional resources are devoted to help Non-Chinese students to be able to catch up
with their Chinese counterparts in terms of their Chinese Language standards. Other than
preparing for the alternative Chinese exams, more emphasis would be put in enhancing the
Non-Chinese students’ language skills beyond the examination curriculum. Extra-curricular
activities are also run to promote understanding and create harmony among students from different
cultures. These also help the Non-Chinese students practise the Chinese language in a meaningful
way.
Students with Special Educational Needs can apply to have special arrangements made in internal
and external examinations and assessment. These depend on the recommendations provided by
experts in the area. Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) were drafted and implemented under the
guidance of the in-house Educational Psychologist. Regular case conferences are held to ensure
specific needs of students’ concerned are made.

Support for Student Development
Healthy Lifestyle: At MCS we set great store by our students' physical and mental health.
Physical Wellbeing
We offer a wide range of intracurricular and extracurricular sporting activities. All classes, F.1 to F.6,
have Physical Education classes which offers a comprehensive curriculum. Besides having sports
clubs and teams for selected athletes, the school organizes annual sporting events open to all students e.g.
inter-house activities e.g. the Annual Swimming Gala, Annual Athletics Meet and inter-class running
competitions and ball games.
Besides exploring in class the importance of eating healthily to stay fit, the school conducts events
focusing on healthy eating such as 'Fruit Day', ‘Green Friday’ etc. to put into practice our belief in a
healthy lifestyle. To ensure that our students follow a balanced diet and sound eating habits, the lunch
dishes and the snacks that our school canteen provides are decided on and vetted by qualified
nutritionists.
Mental and Psychological Wellbeing
The school put great emphasis on promoting mental health. For Staff Development Programmes, the
school has invited experts including psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and educational psychologists
to conduct seminars and workshops to equip teachers with professional knowledge in tackling issues
related to mental health.
The school has promoted positive psychology for more than 10 years. The in-house clinical
psychologist has conducted courses for teachers and students to introduce the background and merits of
positive psychology. Teachers and student ambassadors have been trained to promote positive
psychology. The student ambassadors, called the Smileys, organize programmes to help the
junior-form students to get to know and enhance different character strengths.
The school adopts a whole-school approach involving religious and moral education, the homeroom
period, guidance provided by a full-time social worker, the Careers Committee, the Extra-curricular
Activities Committee and the Pastoral Care Core Group, under which the Character Building Committee,
the Counselling Committee, the Prefect Board, the Homeroom Teachers’ Committee work together to
promote the mental and psychological wellbeing of the students.
16
Annual School Report 2016-2017
Catering for learner diversity
Funding from the EDB and the MCS Educational Trust helps to pay for extra services like the running of
Learning Support Groups and the provision of school-based educational, psychological and clinical
psychological services.
Individualised Education Plans (IEPs) are drafted and implemented for students with Special
Educational Needs. Case conferences are facilitated by the SEN & Gifted Education Committee
regularly between the in-house Educational Psychologist, the School Social Worker, homeroom and
subject teachers to discuss students’ learning needs. The Educational Psychologist also conducts
surveys to help gauge the different learning styles and identify learning issues of students. Based on
the findings, homeroom and subject teachers can offer appropriate assistance to individual students.
Enhancement and enrichment classes are run, where appropriate, to help students of different levels of
academic ability to excel, stretch their potential and improve. Split classes and pull-out tutorial sessions
are run to help students who can benefit from having more individual attention from teachers or
instructors.

Feedback on Future Planning
This was the second year of our 3-year development cycle. The school incorporated into the school
plan the Four strategic foci, namely, “Serve Home, Country and World”; “Pursue Excellence”;
“Realize Full Potential” and “Be Forward Looking”, identified by our School Sponsoring Body as
crucial to the development of the school for the coming years. The school development plan is in line
with the Four Strategic Foci and the school will continue to incorporate them into the plan of the new
school year.
STEM education and E-Learning activities will continue to be focus items. Careful planning and
allocation of resources, in addition to adequate professional development programmes will contribute to
the success in carrying out the focus items. School and staff development will continue to evolve to
promote students’ acquisition and application of 21st Century Skills.
