MCS Impact Corner. To home, to country,to the world
Raised in one of the well-known girls' schools in Hong Kong with a 80-year old history Maryknollers have contributed to society in many ways. Whether as well- known public figures or those keeping a low profile, many are successful in their own fields - as home-makers, professionals, entrepreneurs, civil servants…… The Impact Corner is a space in the 'Greater Maryknoll' website to rejoice in their achievements and to inspire other Maryknollers. These stories reflect how the years in Maryknoll have shaped them in their many roles in life. This inventory of articles may eventually become part of the data source for an MCS research project now under discussion. This potential project will study the impact and the evolving trends of the role of women in the society of HK.
		This initiative is coordinated by the PPP Committee of the MCS Foundation (Promotion of Positive Perception)

		The Hon. Miriam Lau Kin-yee,G.B.S., J.P. Legislative Councillor Congratulatory message for establishment of the MaryknollConventSchool Foundation I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations and best wishes to the Maryknoll Convent School Foundation on its establishment. For 80 years, the Maryknoll Sisters have, through the excellent system of education that MaryknollConventSchool provides, tirelessly nurtured innumerable students to become knowledgeable, caring and responsible members of the community. This demanding and important responsibility is now handed over to the Maryknoll Convent School Foundation which has undertaken to be the school sponsoring body of the Primary and Secondary Sections of MCS. Constituted under the guidance of the Sisters and supported by many former students and principals, the Maryknoll Convent School Foundation is committed to uphold and continue the wonderful tradition of quality education and excellence pioneered by the Sisters and now enshrined in the Schools Mission and Vision. The Foundation will lead the School to accept the challenges of the future and perpetuate the Maryknoll spirit. I have no doubt that the Foundation will, in an open and transparent fashion, work closely with teachers, parents and all parties concerned in society to further the noble and virtuous objectives of the School, not only for the benefit of those who have the fortune of receiving education in MCS, but also the well-being of the community at large. As a former student, I pledge my full support to the Maryknoll Convent School Foundation for the honorable task that it has assumed. Sincerely, Miriam Lau Kin-yee

		Message from Dr. Henrietta Man Hing Ip Chairman, Maryknoll Convent School Educational Trust. Dear members of the Maryknoll Convent School Foundation, I wish to congratulate you on your joint efforts to form the Maryknoll Convent School Foundation. Through the Foundation, we demonstrate that having benefited from the guidance of the Maryknoll Sisters, we are now capable of carrying on the Maryknoll spirit and tradition to benefit students coming after us. Let nothing get in our way to enlarge our big Maryknoll family and welcome the return of our past, present and future students into the arms of the Foundation, so that united we stand in service of God, of Maryknoll Convent School and of the furtherance of quality education in Hong Kong. I pledge to create time when called upon to serve and I am sure all of you will do the same. Yours faithfully, in service of Maryknoll, Dr. Henrietta Man Hing Ip O.B.E., J.P.
