Hi Zhen,


my friends son is in YCK pri. complains a lot of that school saying no proper coaching and no manners among the kids. anyways my personal opinion would be that as long as your kid works hard, no matter which school he is in he will definitely cucceed. good luck.

I am considering to register my boy in Monfort Junior but would like to listen to other’s comments on this school. Wonder why it’s popularity rate is so low?

friends son is in montfort in p5. she says no prob with the school except for a bit of bullying. she has even registered her ds2 this year under phase 1.

Thank you for your feedback! Anymore comments? Worried that not enough students, the teachers might be demoralised to teach…

With less students enrolled in P1, do you know if the number of classes is reduced or the number of classes is kept the same with smaller class sizes? A smaller class would definitely be more beneficial to the students as the students will get more attention. Don’t you think?

FYI. Just found this forum that discusses Montfort...

So grateful to all the kind souls helping to solve my problem as I really in a lost. Glad to hear some positive feedback on Monfort! Worried about the school’s academic underachievement…

Cannot compare to other top school. MJS accepts all students, foreigner and slow learner too.


So far I find the school acceptable. This is a single session boys school, has ample facilities and coupled by its low enrolment, it is not as crowded as some other school.

As for its low enrolment, I believe being a catholic boy school and there are many other primary school in the vicinity may be one of the reason.

for more infors, ,

Anyone saw the latest update from moe for hougang schools? Amazing only xin min and hougang primary have a huge turnout for phase 2c. Seems like confirmed balloting on the first day itself. Surprised by the low turnout for HIPS and CHIJ and Paya Lebar. Maybe all parents are waiting for day 3.


Wish all parents registering their kids in this phase good luck!
