I am a DGS old girl, graduated in the 1990's, and am now the mother of a 2.5 year-old boy. I know quite a number of Maryknoll alumni and am pretty familiar with the things in both DGS and MCS. I think I can share with you some of the differences I have observed between the two schools.
While most of the girls in both schools are smart, I think DGS girls are generally more tough and independent. In a way, you can say that Maryknollers are more modest and gentle. But I have the impression that they do tend to be more reliant, especially on seeking help from guys. In my old school days when organizing joint school activities, DGS girls would insist on doing everything by themselves, even for moving heavy furniture and things like that. But Maryknoll girls would not hesitate to ask the boy schools to help.
In terms of the school culture, there is a strong sense of achievement in DGS. Maryknoll, as I see it, is relatively more relaxed. While I agree that winning awards in interschool competitions and having top scholars in public exams does not account for everything, it is in fact not difficult to notice that DGS is relatively conspicuous in these achievements. DGS is always the top few schools in sports, music, debating and academics. I think Maryknoll girls are no less, but the school is perhaps more low-profile.
When I was there, I had classmates coming from almost all other reputable girls schools (like MCS, St Mary's, Good Hope, St Stephen's Girls, St Paul's Convent, Sacred Heart, Heep Yunn, Ying Wa Girls, etc). I dare not say DGS is better than the others. But in general DGS has a "bigger name".
In conclusion, one can't say whether DGS or MCS is better. If your girl is more of an achiever and is very self-motivating, I believe DGS will unveil her potential further. But if she is the more relaxed type, MCS may suit her better.
Hope the above helps. |
