1. Programme for Rebuilding and Improving Existing Schools (PRIME)- 2010 to 2011
Montfort School is going to undergo PRIME and we are moving off-site from Jan 2010 to Dec 2011. We are moving to Serangoon North Ave 1, near the vicinity of Serangoon Gardens Secondary School. Those in Secondary One would be affected for 2010.
It'll help us get a spanking brand new and refurbished school with larger classrooms. Some look at it with a tinge of sadness because they might not be at Montfort in 2010 / 2011, others might mix it with nostalgia or green-eyed envy. Come what may, it would still be our school with St Louis Grignion De Montfort and the Brothers of St Gabriels casting its blessings down on our endeavour.
2. Gabrielite Foundation Flag Day
The St Gabriel's Foundation was set up to help in the management and running of all Gabrielite schools in Singapore. We've benefited quite a bit from the fundraising efforts but because we are a mission school alway serving the needs of the less privileged, charity and fundraising is always part of our business.
Students who benefit from the school's financial scheme have received pocket-money for meals, free uniforms and textbooks, free newspaper / magazine subscriptions and course applications. Substantial items. These are non-standard privileges not providied for by the government's Financial Assistance Scheme. Other non-standard facilities not found in other government schools are also paid for on our own.
Hence our mission of serving the needs of the less privileged by doing well at charity drives and the mission of being that Man for Others.
Mr Wu Tian Hwee gave out details of the Flag Day. All Secondary Threes would be involved in this fundraising drive. Our target is $100,000. Age Quod Agis.
