Festive roar !

Montfortians eager to welcome the Lunar Year of the Tiger, had worked hard to put up a commendable performance on the 12th of February 2010. The Wushu tigers purred and roared into the lives of the Montfortian audience, who received enthusiastically, the performance that was put up by the prancing Montfortian Tigers.

Following next, The CLDDS performers made an entrance to the stage on stilts! It was an eye-catching Cowboy-themed Western dance that was put up to the catchy and popular Jay Chou song. It garnered quite a number of singers from amongst the audience. Jay Chou would have been pleased!

The importance of Reunion Dinners was transmitted to the young audience in a play put up by the ELDDS members. The character of Spicy Grandma enacted skilfully by Kenny Yaw of 4E4, conveyed the message that despite the generation gap, Chinese New Year is a significant cultural event.

A scintillating performance by Montfort's own magician, Anthony Tan of 4E2 had everyone spellbound for that 10 minutes. His bag of tricks included colourful hankerchiefs, and hot strings.

To add a multicultural flavour to the days event, TLDDS took the stage by storm with a Bollywood-inspired energetic dance. Singer Sai from Secondary 2AA gave a melodious rendition of a popular Tamil song, and despite many Montfortians not being able to understand the language, they enjoyed the song.

The event was a success. Students returned to their classes, and lessons resumed.

The Move - The Hot And The Not

Montfort has moved! 4th of January saw Montfortians making their presence felt in the new surroundings of Serangoon North Avenue 1 . Thrilled and excited at the newness of things and the abundance of space , the gentlemen embarked on a voyage of discovery . With sprawling basketball courts amongst the leafy environment , the Montfortians felt they were more in a 'resort' than in a school .

However , reality hit upon entering the rather small and 'basic' classrooms. Definitely the students felt a sense of loss especially at the absence of air conditioning and spaciousness of the classrooms of Montfort @ Hougang . But knowing that two years would eventually pass would help get us through this temporary deprivation of comfort . Persevering Montfortian decided to rise to the occasion and to enjoy also the present location and the perks of space and the green world around them . Onwards we go!
