ExHiLeaRate Week 2009

The primary objective of ExHiLeaRate Week (31st March to 6th April 2008) is to provide the necessary platforms for Montfortians to exhibit as well as internalise School Values, selected “Habits of Mind” and Servant Leadership traits, aligned to the five aspects of the School Vision – ‘The Scholar’, ‘The Sportsman’, ‘The Gentleman’, ‘The Leader’ and ‘The Man for Others’.

Secondary One Montfortians were taken through a slew of activities to develop class and school spirit. A 2D1N camp at Sentosa forges a strong bond between the Sec One Montfortians. They have learnt on team-building activities and bonding, namely introduction to High- and Low- Elements, Rafting, Geocaching.

Secondary Two Montfortians focused on 1-Star Kayaking as well as Proficiency Level 1 Abseiling accreditation, Dragon-boating, Improvised Rafting, Rock-climbing and High Elements, in preparation for Montfort’s quest to participate in “The Hillary Challenge”.

Secondary Three Montfortians roughed it out in a 4D3N Camp on Pulau Ubin, where they challenged themselves to Kayaking Refresher Course, Orienteering, Night Walk, and Eco Programme at Chek Jawa.

The Secondary Four Normal (Technical) students also gained advance module accreditation from the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) when they undertook the Category A Elective Module, Video Production.

Aside from fun activities, there were serious enrichment training activities like Math Trails, and PET Rocket for the Secondary One. These activities are designed to motivate pupils to learn Math and Science in an interesting way.
Also activity such as Community Waypoint Challenge also designed to toughen up the Secondary Two to prepare them for the CIP/Service-Learning. They have visited and gained insights into Charitable Homes and VWOs in the vicnity of Hougang/Serangoon.

Lastly, for the Sec 4E/4N/5N students, various enrichment programmes such as Motivational Course by Adam Khoo Programme, IP, ECG Portal, NE Survey,and *CIP (for selected classes) are also conducted to motivate and cultivate good learning habits for extensive knowledge acquistion for the Montfortians.

Finally, Montfort has brought in AKLTG to give a motivational speech. I've been pushing for it to happen when I was in Montfort but it didn't happen ;)
