... NB : I will be very sad if the thread started for the sole purpose of sharing only negative comment on the school, then this will be my last post . .
buzybuzz... it is because of your very presence in this thread that give help balance the view of people who have may have negative views of the school. Imagine what will happen if no one stand up to state their views on Montfort based on their actual experiences? That fact that you take pains to counter the negative views already give pause to those who may think that the school is all bad. -
buzybuzz…thank you so much for your comments. Please don’t give up on this thread as your input really help us to get a better view of MJS. As Chiefkiasu said you are helping to balance out the views expressed in this forum. Please feel free to tell us more about MJS (i.e., pros and cons of the school, teachers’ performance, cca, etc.). I’m sure parents of prospective students of MJS would really appreciate any feedback you may have. Thank you!

I've been to Montfort Junior & Sec (accompany students) and I personally find that their boys are polite & I see alot of initiative in the boys. Boys will be boys, they will be mischevious & sometimes disruptive.
So far the students I know from Montfort are all well-rounded students who do well (maybe not top top top type, but good enough to go to a decent course in local uni) & I've very good impressions of them.
This is one of my shortlisted schools too (MSHS is my first choice, this is my 2nd). I also recommend parents to consider Montfort Sec as one of their choices for boys taking PSLE. You need to physically visit the school a few times before you can make a decision
It's good to visit during normal school days & during events. You'll be surprised at how good the boys are when it comes to organising school events! -
Thanks to parents for contributing the feedback. I personally dun think tht Monfort is ‘naughty boy’ sch as well.
As a lot of people mentioned, ALL BOYs environment is nosiy and rowdy. There may be some Sec boys that we had seen with unfavourable behaviour in the neighborhood , But open your eyes, this occurs in other schs as well - sure there will be a bunch with unfav behaviour that wants to seek attention.
Monfort is one of my 2nd choice, but now my agony is should i travel all the way down fr SK to HG if I cant get into my first choice in SK area.
I thought the advantage of near a sch is very impt so that my children can enjoy their pri sch days and participate in any CCAs they like ( I am a working mum so encounter transport difficulty to let child stay back after sch for CCAs when they are young) -

What is your first choice? Nan Chiau/ Seng Kang Pri? Both ok sch.

The nearer the better to home.
Keep your finger cross and all the best.
Enjoy this long wkend holiday!!!! -
I understand that there is a new principal at Montfort. Would someone please comment on how this new principal is? Also, how are the teachers there? Are they good, motivated, patient, and nurturing? I’ve seen some very impatient and not very nurturing teachers in a neighborhood school that really makes me worry about the type of teachers teaching our children.

Buzybuzz, I would appreciate it if you could comment on my question regarding the new principal at Montfort Junior and also the quality of the teachers there since you have a child in Montfort Junior. Thanks!

Hi I realise the new principal is rather young and I heard she is quite firm about things. Maybe as kiasu parents we should be more proactive like writing to her and ask her what are her plans for the school. Montfort used to be a rather good school but the standard (especially in the academic areas) has not improved over the years.
