    Applying the paramount welfare principle and giving weight to the genuinely expressed wishes of this 9‑year‑old, together with the Social Welfare Department's recommendation and realistic assessment of the mother's ability to supplement Chinese education, the court concluded that maintaining the child's current schooling at Marymount is in her best interests and the father's application to prevent the transfer is allowed.
