Founder's Day Celebrations - 21st April 2007

Brother Gasper Xaviar, Provincial Superior of the Brothers of St Gabriels graced our Founder's Day with his presence. He also helped open and bless our gallery of Brothers found at the front porch of the school.

As part of the celebrations it was a heart-moving experience for many to watch a video titled "A Day in the Life of a Montfortian", which showed how the Junior School and Secondary School dovetailed the mission and vision of the school into a single comman experience. Most touching was to watch Mr Simen playing the guitar for our students and seeing Ms Judina Cheong waving goodbye to all of us to conclude the video. Other videos included interviews with Brother Emmanuel, Brother Dominic Yeo-Koh, Mr Chua Cher Choon and Mr Ronald Tan reminiscing and telling us what it means to be a Montfortian.

Top students from our PSLE, GCE E and N Level students were honored. So too, were top CCA Colours Awards winners. The highlight of the awards presentation went to Benedict Foo (T-Score of 216) and who emerged with 7A1s. Other importaht highlights included tribute paid to Magesh and Mathan, the proud twins of Mr Sivakumar, who chose Montfort as their first choice despite doing so well in their PSLE exams.

The Founder's Day ended with the singing of the school song with great gusto and crackers firing ribbons in all directions. A lunch reception was held with Mr Simen entertaining our guests (which included Principals of St Gabriel's and Assumption English School) with his signature guitar playing skills and songs.

Tagboxes are great ideas! However, for the purpose of editing and moderating comments, I think the present mode of comments / opinions works well. Thank you for your suggestions. Keep them coming. Age Quod Agis.
