Celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Montfort Schools with 300 proud alumni, staff and students last night.
I am not a Montfortian, but went to Catholic High School. Interesting fact which I just discovered: both schools had a common connection in Father Edward Becheras, a French missionary. He revived Montfort in 1920 and founded Catholic High in 1935!
I met Princeton Toh (right), a P5 student, who led a project with his peers to show their appreciation to the non-teaching staff – administrators, cleaners and canteen vendors. They were putting their values into action. I hope other schools do more such projects too!
May the Montfort Schools continue to live up to their vision to be “A Man for Others”, and nurture many more gentlemen, scholars, sportsmen and leaders.
