Does anyone know what Montfort Junior School is like? How's the standard? How's the school environment? What's the student body like? Would appreciate any info you may have

Hi,
I'm staying around passing by MF every day. I quite like the school environment. I consider it as big and pretty airy as compare to most of the neighborhood school around the vicinity. The school recently built an indoor sports hall but I'm not sure if it is for secondary or primary use.
I think they are pretty outstanding in sports. Many poster/banner showing the award/metal won for their badminton. You can also find some reports on their IT project and such from schoolbag from time to time. As for the academy, I have no info on that prospect.
For your info, I did not choose MF for my son mainly because we preferred mix school to Boy school.
Hope the above help.

Thank you KS_me for the information. I’m talked to some people and most don’t think highly of Montfort. They said that the school used to be better. They also said that the boys there behave badly…lots of bullying and fighting. Not sure if this is true.

My neighbour’s grandson is fm Montford and he is in P2 this yr and even got a chance to go Jakarta for badminton tournament…which i think is quite a good exposure.

Thanks, Sunshine! I agree that is a great experience for the kids to be able to go abroad for such activities. I am looking for a all-rounded school so am seeking for a school that focus on both academics and extra-curricular activities. Any other information you have on this school would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Antchin!


I am also thinking of Montfort for my son. I can’t seem to get much information on the school. Tried calling the school for a school visit and meet the principal but the school is closed to visitors due to H1N1. Would appreciate it if you would please share whatever information you have on this school. Thanks!
