Lau Jiak Night - 24th March 2007

Bi-annually, a large gathering of alumni members (both from the YMA and MA) return to school to celebrate their unity with their ex-teachers and current teahers. The event was graced by Bro. Emmanuel, Mr Simen, Mr Chua Cher Choon (School Management Chairman), Mr Ronald Tan, Mr Ang Chee Kok (MA) and a whole host of other successful and prominent Montfortians. Most importantly, the presence of so many old teachers who have retired - Mr Teo Joo Meng, Mr Lee Ah Bah, Mr Jacob Chng, Mr Joseph Ng, Mr Emil Cheng, Mr Lee Tong Juan, Mr Cheng (Former Sc HOD) - made the event so meaningful. It had been years since we had seen them and Montfort welcomes them back for all they have done for us! Mrs Lee Poh-Lin, Mrs Lee Swee Hoon, Mr Peter Ho, Mrs Lee Saw Khim were some of the current teachers who were there to meet up with their students.

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will also be." Do not store up riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal". (Luke 12:33-34O)

Mr Lloyd Yeo began the evening with a Blues version of "Big Bossman" to welcome the guests. The Montfort Blues Virus Band (Associated Members) and Mr Mark Miles (1997 Graduate) entertained the crowd for the evening till close to midnight.
