Are you looking for the School of Excellence..??
Then you are in the right place…!!!
MONTFORT….the School of Limitless Possibilities…
MONTFORT….the House of ‘Virtue and Labour’…
MONTFORT….the Sanctuary of Learning and Knowledge….
MONTFORT has been performing such a stupendous task ever since the beginning of the 19th Century. In the new Millennium, as a “SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE”, it has further qualified its beliefs in the philosophy of QUALITY EDUCATION.
Here in Montfort, we do not stop with the amount of information that is imparted to each Child, but take it further to focus on man-making, life-building, character formation and spiritual growth. In other words, the ultimate end of our “LABOUR” is “VIRTUE”.
‘EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS’ is our prime concern though Sports and Games and other extracurricular activities too form an integral part of Montfort.
We endeavour to give every child who enters Montfort a HOLISTIC EDUCATION. However, the ‘raison d’etre of a child’s stay in Montfort is ‘EDUCATION’ – ‘with books’ in their hands, ‘LEARNING FOR LIFE’.
“Lead kindly light, amidst the encircling gloom…”
This prayer is the essence of our Educational Objectives—to lead the Children from …darkness to LIGHT, that is what ‘MONTFORT’ is !
Good afternoon
I am writing my memoirs and have been recounting a tale of having visited your college in 1992, at which time my wife, cousin and I met with the Principal (Brother George). He was somewhat reluctant to give us the time, until I pulled out a map which had been drawn by my uncle Bill Spitteler from memory. Brother George was very excited stating that Buffalo Juice Pond still existed. He became even more interested when I mentioned that my eldest uncle (George) Spitteler may have been one of the students who walked down from the convent with a few brothers to start Montfort College. He sent off for a copy of your 75th anniversary magazine, in which there was a photo of those same brothers and students. I immediately recognised my uncle in the photo and Brother George pounced on the list of names which had my uncle’s as the first. Brother George was so delighted that he invited us back for lunch.
It was a very special day for all of us and one that my wife (Cath) mention often.
I thought you might be interested in the tale of my visit almost 30 years ago.
