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.

Early identification and examination accommodations are among the measures described in school materials.

Fees
Application fees

- No application or registration fee is charged as part of the Primary One application/registration process; the published Primary One registration procedure does not list any application fee.

Tuition and school fees (by year group and per term)

- Maryknoll Convent School (Primary Section) is a government‑subsidised (aided) primary school and does not charge a school tuition fee for P1–P6. Annual tuition / school fee: HKD 0 for all year groups (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6). Per term tuition: HKD 0.

- The school does levy an annual 'tong fai' (school composite/activity) charge of HKD 6,000. This is reported as the school's published annual tong fai for the current school‑charge listing.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The tong fai is published as an annual charge (HKD 6,000). The school's public materials and the school charge summary do not list a detailed invoicing schedule or term-by-term billing dates for the tong fai. Parents should note the tong fai is described as an annual school charge.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Boarding is not offered by Maryknoll Convent School (Primary Section); there are no boarding or accommodation fees. The school is a day primary school and published facility lists do not include boarding.

Other compulsory or recurring charges

- PTA fee: HKD 100 per year (published as the Parent‑Teacher Association annual fee).

- Other standard charges (listed school fee, other charges, approved charges for non‑standard items) are shown as not specified in the school charge summary; optional items commonly paid by parents (examples: school uniform, lunch, school outings, instrument hire or external activity fees) do not have fixed amounts published in the school's annual charge summary.

Refunds and fee remission

- There is no separate published refund policy for the tong fai or PTA fee in the school's publicly posted documents. Education reporting notes that the Education Bureau requires schools charging tong fai to provide fee remission/waivers for families with financial difficulty; the school's tong fai must be administered in line with that requirement. Specific refund or remission arrangements (timing, eligibility, documentation) are not detailed in the school charge summary.

Fee payment options and contact for payment queries

- The school's public pages and the annual charge summary do not specify payment methods (for example, credit card, bank transfer, autopay). For payment arrangements or accepted payment channels, the school lists direct contact details: telephone numbers and a general school email address for enquiries. Use the published school contact details to confirm acceptable payment methods.

Admissions

Admissions
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.

Waitlist
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.
