Originally named Holy Innocents' English School, it was renamed to its current one in 1959 in honour of the Founder of the Brothers of Christian Instruction of St Gabriel, St Louis Marie Grignion De Montfort. Boys in this school proudly call themselves "Montfortians" and sons of Montfort.<br /> <br /> Its motto, ''{{lang|la|Age Quod Agis}}'' means "Do well in whatever you do". Montfort has celebrated its 90th Anniversary in 2006 with a 90&nbsp;km run to its former location and a thanksgiving mass conducted by the Archbishop of Singapore, Nicholas Chia, who happens to be an old boy of Holy Innocents' English School (later renamed to Montfort School) at the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary which is the church that has been beside the old location of the school all along, and a dinner held at the school. The school has a high Catholic population and it has produced numerous Catholic priests, including archbishop of Singapore, Nicholas Chia, over the past years. <br /> Montfort Secondary School has recently received a Badminton Niche Award and so Primary 6 students can now apply into the school directly through Direct School Admission.<br /> <br /> ==The school creed==<br /> {| class="toccolours" style="float: right; margin-left: 2em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 85%; background:#c6dbf7; color:black; width:25em; max-width: 35%;" cellspacing="5"<br /> | style="text-align: left;" | <br /> <br /> '''The school song'''<br /> ''Musical Score by Mr. Chua Song Khoon''<br /> ''Lyrics by Mr. Teo Kah Leng''<br /> <br /> ''Verse 1:''<br /> :All ye sons of Montfort School,<br /> :ever grateful be and true.<br /> :To your Alma Mater dear,<br /> :for her loving care of you.<br /> :Keep your filial piety,<br /> :burning bright your whole life through.<br /> :Ever jealous of her name,<br /> :ever mindful of her claim.<br /> <br /> ''Chorus:''<br /> :Hark!

It was first set up in 1916 by the parish priest, Father H. Duvelle next to Nativity church at Upper Serangoon Road. At the request of the Inspector of Schools, he organized an English class on the top floor of the two-storey building between the church and the school canteen. The teacher was Mr Lee Ah Kow. The class lasted for three years. <br /> <br /> In March 1920, Father E. Becheras, the new parish priest restarted the school with a class of some 30 pupils under the charge of a Mr Monterio. In the following year another class was added. <br /> <br /> In 1922, Mr P A D’Costa was recruited as teacher and administrator. From 1922 to 1936 he was a tower of strength to the school and a source of inspiration to both pupils and staff. <br /> <br /> The school grew from strength to strength. A new class was added each year and additional teachers recruited. <br /> <br /> The increased intake of students necessitated the need to expand the school premises. A block of 5 classrooms along Upper Serangooon Road was completed in 1927. In 1929 three additional classrooms along Holy Innocents Lane were added. Yet in 1932 another floor was added to the second block. <br /> <br /> 1936 marked the beginning of a new era when the management of the school was placed in the hands of the Brothers of St Gabriel, Rev. Bro. Gerard Majella came from Bangkok to become the first Brother Director of the school. <br /> <br /> Brother Adolphus and Brother John de Breboeuf came in December 1936. 1936 was also the first year when the school produced its School Certificate class. <br /> <br /> It was Bro. Gerard Majella who was responsible for the smooth charge over in the school management. In 1938, he was succeeded by Bro. Louis Gonzaga. <br /> <br /> The Japanese occupation of Singapore interrupted the work of the school. Immediately after the war, Bro. Louis Gonzaga worked tiredlessly to reorganize and rehabilitate the school. He extended the block along Upper Serangoon Road by adding another floor to it. <br /> <br /> The new extension was opened by His Highness the Sultan of Johore. <br /> <br /> In 1949, Bro. Louis Gonzaga also started the afternoon school - the Holy Innocents’ Afternoon School - under the charge of Bro. Basil. <br /> <br /> In 1955 Rev. Bro. Noel. became the Director of the Holy Innocents’ and he set up a committee on 3 April 1955 to raise funds to further extend the school. Within three years the extension was completed. <br /> <br /> In 1959 Holy Innocents’ English School was renamed Montfort School in honour of the Founder, St Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, of the Gabrielite Brothers. <br /> <br /> In the late 1980s, a decision was made to relocate Montfort Junior and Secondary Schools so as to make them comparable to the newer Government Schools. A Building Fund Committee was formed to raise the necessary funds to finance the building project, the cost of which amounted to $24 million. Capital grant from the Government was 18.5 million, therefore the schools had to raise $5.5 million. <br /> <br /> Piling began in August 1989 at the new site at Hougang Avenue 8, immediately after a ground breaking ceremony on 12 August 1989 which was officiated by His Grace, Mgr Gregory Yong D.D. The main building works of the two schools started in March 1990 and took about 21 months to complete. <br /> <br /> On 2 January, 1992, the two schools, Montfort Junior and Montfort Secondary, started functioning at their new premises.<br /> <br /> In 1997, the school underwent its first R & R (Repairs and Redecoration).<br /> <br /> ==Facilities==<br /> <br /> Valour@Montfort, an E-Gaming centre fully equipped with iMac computers was built on the campus ground itself. With the numerous potted plants and natural sunlight, the gaming centre provides a comfortable environment for the students to play in. Eye massagers are provided for the students to rest their eyes after gaming. It was officially opened on 13 July 2007, making it the second school in Singapore facilitated with a gaming centre, after Anglo-Chinese School (Independent).<br /> <br /> The school hall has seating galleries on the third level and is also air-conditioned, which was sponsored by one of the old boys of the school.<br /> <br /> Air-conditioned classrooms occupies the fourth level, half of the third level classrooms, and some of the second level classrooms, giving the students a comfortable and cool environment to study and work in. It will be switched on from 12 noon onwards to save the cost of electricity.<br /> <br /> Water dispensers are placed in all the classrooms to provide cool drinking water for teachers and students without the hassle of having to travel to the water coolers for a drink. However, it was removed in 2009.<br /> <br /> A large competition standard sports hall was added on to the school in early 2009. Completed with seating galleries, the three-tiered sports hall housed badminton courts, basketball courts and tennis courts.<br /> <br /> The school has a cafeteria set up near the general office of the school, which is known as "Cafe De Mont".<br /> <br /> ==Uniqueness of the School==<br /> In Montfort secondary school, classes start at 8.00am. Classes used to start at 8.30am.<br /> <br /> Common tests are also suspended from the school following a new system of teaching introduced to the school.<br /> <br /> With handphones being allowed in the school, students really have nothing to complain at all except the strict hair checks. The school have 2 types of uniform, the proper school uniform and an alternative uniform. <br /> <br /> E-Gaming has been introduced into the school as well.the school's badminton team has done extremely well and has done the school proud for winning the badminton championships for the past five years, making Montfort Secondary School to be the top badminton specialized and niche school in Singapore.<br /> <br /> ==PRIME==<br /> Montfort Secondary is undergoing PRIME (Programme for Rebuilding and Improving Existing Schools). It is one of the major initiatives by MOE that was launched back in 1999 (you can read the press release [http://www.moe.gov.sg/initiatives/prime/ here]).<br /> The current building is almost 18 years old now. The facilities need to be upgraded to meet the growing needs of education through the pedagogies and programmes provided.<br /> <br /> The school will be moving to 15 Serangoon North Avenue 1 for two years starting from January 2010 and will be back for the school year of 2012.<br /> <br /> For more details, go to [http://www.montfortsec.moe.edu.sg/prime.asp http://www.montfortsec.moe.edu.sg/prime.asp].<br /> <br /> ==Notable alumni==<br /> * Lim Boon Heng (Minister in the Prime Minister's Office)<br /> * Dr Lee Boon Yang (Minister for Communications, Information and the Arts)<br /> * Nicholas Chia (Archbishop of Singapore)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Secondary schools in Singapore]]</div>

The class lasted for three years. <br /> <br /> In March 1920, Father E. Becheras, the new parish priest restarted the school with a class of some 30 pupils under the charge of a Mr Monterio. In the following year another class was added. <br /> <br /> In 1922, Mr P A D’Costa was recruited as teacher and administrator. From 1922 to 1936 he was a tower of strength to the school and a source of inspiration to both pupils and staff. <br /> <br /> The school grew from strength to strength. A new class was added each year and additional teachers recruited. <br /> <br /> The increased intake of students necessitated the need to expand the school premises. A block of 5 classrooms along Upper Serangooon Road was completed in 1927. In 1929 three additional classrooms along Holy Innocents Lane were added. Yet in 1932 another floor was added to the second block. <br /> <br /> 1936 marked the beginning of a new era when the management of the school was placed in the hands of the Brothers of St Gabriel, Rev. Bro. Gerard Majella came from Bangkok to become the first Brother Director of the school. <br /> <br /> Brother Adolphus and Brother John de Breboeuf came in December 1936. 1936 was also the first year when the school produced its School Certificate class. <br /> <br /> It was Bro. Gerard Majella who was responsible for the smooth charge over in the school management. In 1938, he was succeeded by Bro. Louis Gonzaga. <br /> <br /> The Japanese occupation of Singapore interrupted the work of the school. Immediately after the war, Bro. Louis Gonzaga worked tiredlessly to reorganize and rehabilitate the school. He extended the block along Upper Serangoon Road by adding another floor to it. <br /> <br /> The new extension was opened by His Highness the Sultan of Johore. <br /> <br /> In 1949, Bro. Louis Gonzaga also started the afternoon school - the Holy Innocents’ Afternoon School - under the charge of Bro. Basil. <br /> <br /> In 1955 Rev. Bro. Noel. became the Director of the Holy Innocents’ and he set up a committee on 3 April 1955 to raise funds to further extend the school.

A Building Fund Committee was formed to raise the necessary funds to finance the building project, the cost of which amounted to $24 million. Capital grant from the Government was 18.5 million, therefore the schools had to raise $5.5 million. <br /> <br /> Piling began in August 1989 at the new site at Hougang Avenue 8, immediately after a ground breaking ceremony on 12 August 1989 which was officiated by His Grace, Mgr Gregory Yong D.D.

It was first set up in 1916 by the parish priest, Father H. Duvelle next to Nativity church at Upper Serangoon Road. At the request of the Inspector of Schools, he organized an English class on the top floor of the two-storey building between the church and the school canteen. The teacher was Mr Lee Ah Kow. The class lasted for three years. <br /> <br /> In March 1920, Father E. Becheras, the new parish priest restarted the school with a class of some 30 pupils under the charge of a Mr Monterio. In the following year another class was added. <br /> <br /> In 1922, Mr P A D’Costa was recruited as teacher and administrator. From 1922 to 1936 he was a tower of strength to the school and a source of inspiration to both pupils and staff. <br /> <br /> The school grew from strength to strength. A new class was added each year and additional teachers recruited. <br /> <br /> The increased intake of students necessitated the need to expand the school premises. A block of 5 classrooms along Upper Serangooon Road was completed in 1927. In 1929 three additional classrooms along Holy Innocents Lane were added. Yet in 1932 another floor was added to the second block. <br /> <br /> 1936 marked the beginning of a new era when the management of the school was placed in the hands of the Brothers of St Gabriel, Rev. Bro. Gerard Majella came from Bangkok to become the first Brother Director of the school. <br /> <br /> Brother Adolphus and Brother John de Breboeuf came in December 1936. 1936 was also the first year when the school produced its School Certificate class. <br /> <br /> It was Bro. Gerard Majella who was responsible for the smooth charge over in the school management. In 1938, he was succeeded by Bro. Louis Gonzaga. <br /> <br /> The Japanese occupation of Singapore interrupted the work of the school. Immediately after the war, Bro. Louis Gonzaga worked tiredlessly to reorganize and rehabilitate the school. He extended the block along Upper Serangoon Road by adding another floor to it. <br /> <br /> The new extension was opened by His Highness the Sultan of Johore. <br /> <br /> In 1949, Bro. Louis Gonzaga also started the afternoon school - the Holy Innocents’ Afternoon School - under the charge of Bro. Basil. <br /> <br /> In 1955 Rev. Bro. Noel. became the Director of the Holy Innocents’ and he set up a committee on 3 April 1955 to raise funds to further extend the school. Within three years the extension was completed. <br /> <br /> In 1959 Holy Innocents’ English School was renamed Montfort School in honour of the Founder, St Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, of the Gabrielite Brothers. <br /> <br /> In the late 1980s, a decision was made to relocate Montfort Junior and Secondary Schools so as to make them comparable to the newer Government Schools. A Building Fund Committee was formed to raise the necessary funds to finance the building project, the cost of which amounted to $24 million. Capital grant from the Government was 18.5 million, therefore the schools had to raise $5.5 million. <br /> <br /> Piling began in August 1989 at the new site at Hougang Avenue 8, immediately after a ground breaking ceremony on 12 August 1989 which was officiated by His Grace, Mgr Gregory Yong D.D. The main building works of the two schools started in March 1990 and took about 21 months to complete. <br /> <br /> On 2 January, 1992, the two schools, Montfort Junior and Montfort Secondary, started functioning at their new premises.<br /> <br /> In 1997, the school underwent its first R & R (Repairs and Redecoration).<br /> <br /> ==Facilities==<br /> <br /> Valour@Montfort, an E-Gaming centre fully equipped with iMac computers was built on the campus ground itself.

It was first set up in 1916 by the parish priest, Father H. Duvelle next to Nativity church at Upper Serangoon Road. At the request of the Inspector of Schools, he organized an English class on the top floor of the two-storey building between the church and the school canteen. The teacher was Mr Lee Ah Kow. The class lasted for three years. <br /> <br /> In March 1920, Father E. Becheras, the new parish priest restarted the school with a class of some 30 pupils under the charge of a Mr Monterio. In the following year another class was added. <br /> <br /> In 1922, Mr P A D’Costa was recruited as teacher and administrator. From 1922 to 1936 he was a tower of strength to the school and a source of inspiration to both pupils and staff. <br /> <br /> The school grew from strength to strength. A new class was added each year and additional teachers recruited. <br /> <br /> The increased intake of students necessitated the need to expand the school premises. A block of 5 classrooms along Upper Serangooon Road was completed in 1927. In 1929 three additional classrooms along Holy Innocents Lane were added. Yet in 1932 another floor was added to the second block. <br /> <br /> 1936 marked the beginning of a new era when the management of the school was placed in the hands of the Brothers of St Gabriel, Rev. Bro. Gerard Majella came from Bangkok to become the first Brother Director of the school. <br /> <br /> Brother Adolphus and Brother John de Breboeuf came in December 1936. 1936 was also the first year when the school produced its School Certificate class. <br /> <br /> It was Bro. Gerard Majella who was responsible for the smooth charge over in the school management. In 1938, he was succeeded by Bro. Louis Gonzaga. <br /> <br /> The Japanese occupation of Singapore interrupted the work of the school. Immediately after the war, Bro. Louis Gonzaga worked tiredlessly to reorganize and rehabilitate the school. He extended the block along Upper Serangoon Road by adding another floor to it. <br /> <br /> The new extension was opened by His Highness the Sultan of Johore. <br /> <br /> In 1949, Bro.

A Building Fund Committee was formed to raise the necessary funds to finance the building project, the cost of which amounted to $24 million. Capital grant from the Government was 18.5 million, therefore the schools had to raise $5.5 million. <br /> <br /> Piling began in August 1989 at the new site at Hougang Avenue 8, immediately after a ground breaking ceremony on 12 August 1989 which was officiated by His Grace, Mgr Gregory Yong D.D.

It was first set up in 1916 by the parish priest, Father H. Duvelle next to Nativity church at Upper Serangoon Road. At the request of the Inspector of Schools, he organized an English class on the top floor of the two-storey building between the church and the school canteen. The teacher was Mr Lee Ah Kow. The class lasted for three years. <br /> <br /> In March 1920, Father E. Becheras, the new parish priest restarted the school with a class of some 30 pupils under the charge of a Mr Monterio. In the following year another class was added. <br /> <br /> In 1922, Mr P A D’Costa was recruited as teacher and administrator. From 1922 to 1936 he was a tower of strength to the school and a source of inspiration to both pupils and staff. <br /> <br /> The school grew from strength to strength. A new class was added each year and additional teachers recruited. <br /> <br /> The increased intake of students necessitated the need to expand the school premises. A block of 5 classrooms along Upper Serangooon Road was completed in 1927. In 1929 three additional classrooms along Holy Innocents Lane were added. Yet in 1932 another floor was added to the second block. <br /> <br /> 1936 marked the beginning of a new era when the management of the school was placed in the hands of the Brothers of St Gabriel, Rev. Bro. Gerard Majella came from Bangkok to become the first Brother Director of the school. <br /> <br /> Brother Adolphus and Brother John de Breboeuf came in December 1936. 1936 was also the first year when the school produced its School Certificate class. <br /> <br /> It was Bro. Gerard Majella who was responsible for the smooth charge over in the school management. In 1938, he was succeeded by Bro. Louis Gonzaga. <br /> <br /> The Japanese occupation of Singapore interrupted the work of the school. Immediately after the war, Bro. Louis Gonzaga worked tiredlessly to reorganize and rehabilitate the school. He extended the block along Upper Serangoon Road by adding another floor to it. <br /> <br /> The new extension was opened by His Highness the Sultan of Johore. <br /> <br /> In 1949, Bro. Louis Gonzaga also started the afternoon school - the Holy Innocents’ Afternoon School - under the charge of Bro. Basil. <br /> <br /> In 1955 Rev. Bro. Noel. became the Director of the Holy Innocents’ and he set up a committee on 3 April 1955 to raise funds to further extend the school. Within three years the extension was completed. <br /> <br /> In 1959 Holy Innocents’ English School was renamed Montfort School in honour of the Founder, St Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, of the Gabrielite Brothers. <br /> <br /> In the late 1980s, a decision was made to relocate Montfort Junior and Secondary Schools so as to make them comparable to the newer Government Schools.

The class lasted for three years. <br /> <br /> In March 1920, Father E. Becheras, the new parish priest restarted the school with a class of some 30 pupils under the charge of a Mr Monterio. In the following year another class was added. <br /> <br /> In 1922, Mr P A D’Costa was recruited as teacher and administrator. From 1922 to 1936 he was a tower of strength to the school and a source of inspiration to both pupils and staff. <br /> <br /> The school grew from strength to strength. A new class was added each year and additional teachers recruited. <br /> <br /> The increased intake of students necessitated the need to expand the school premises. A block of 5 classrooms along Upper Serangooon Road was completed in 1927. In 1929 three additional classrooms along Holy Innocents Lane were added. Yet in 1932 another floor was added to the second block. <br /> <br /> 1936 marked the beginning of a new era when the management of the school was placed in the hands of the Brothers of St Gabriel, Rev. Bro. Gerard Majella came from Bangkok to become the first Brother Director of the school. <br /> <br /> Brother Adolphus and Brother John de Breboeuf came in December 1936. 1936 was also the first year when the school produced its School Certificate class. <br /> <br /> It was Bro. Gerard Majella who was responsible for the smooth charge over in the school management. In 1938, he was succeeded by Bro. Louis Gonzaga. <br /> <br /> The Japanese occupation of Singapore interrupted the work of the school. Immediately after the war, Bro. Louis Gonzaga worked tiredlessly to reorganize and rehabilitate the school. He extended the block along Upper Serangoon Road by adding another floor to it. <br /> <br /> The new extension was opened by His Highness the Sultan of Johore. <br /> <br /> In 1949, Bro. Louis Gonzaga also started the afternoon school - the Holy Innocents’ Afternoon School - under the charge of Bro. Basil. <br /> <br /> In 1955 Rev. Bro. Noel. became the Director of the Holy Innocents’ and he set up a committee on 3 April 1955 to raise funds to further extend the school. Within three years the extension was completed. <br /> <br /> In 1959 Holy Innocents’ English School was renamed Montfort School in honour of the Founder, St Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, of the Gabrielite Brothers. <br /> <br /> In the late 1980s, a decision was made to relocate Montfort Junior and Secondary Schools so as to make them comparable to the newer Government Schools. A Building Fund Committee was formed to raise the necessary funds to finance the building project, the cost of which amounted to $24 million.

The class lasted for three years. <br /> <br /> In March 1920, Father E. Becheras, the new parish priest restarted the school with a class of some 30 pupils under the charge of a Mr Monterio. In the following year another class was added. <br /> <br /> In 1922, Mr P A D’Costa was recruited as teacher and administrator. From 1922 to 1936 he was a tower of strength to the school and a source of inspiration to both pupils and staff. <br /> <br /> The school grew from strength to strength. A new class was added each year and additional teachers recruited. <br /> <br /> The increased intake of students necessitated the need to expand the school premises. A block of 5 classrooms along Upper Serangooon Road was completed in 1927. In 1929 three additional classrooms along Holy Innocents Lane were added. Yet in 1932 another floor was added to the second block. <br /> <br /> 1936 marked the beginning of a new era when the management of the school was placed in the hands of the Brothers of St Gabriel, Rev.

It was first set up in 1916 by the parish priest, Father H. Duvelle next to Nativity church at Upper Serangoon Road. At the request of the Inspector of Schools, he organized an English class on the top floor of the two-storey building between the church and the school canteen. The teacher was Mr Lee Ah Kow. The class lasted for three years. <br /> <br /> In March 1920, Father E. Becheras, the new parish priest restarted the school with a class of some 30 pupils under the charge of a Mr Monterio. In the following year another class was added. <br /> <br /> In 1922, Mr P A D’Costa was recruited as teacher and administrator. From 1922 to 1936 he was a tower of strength to the school and a source of inspiration to both pupils and staff. <br /> <br /> The school grew from strength to strength. A new class was added each year and additional teachers recruited. <br /> <br /> The increased intake of students necessitated the need to expand the school premises. A block of 5 classrooms along Upper Serangooon Road was completed in 1927. In 1929 three additional classrooms along Holy Innocents Lane were added. Yet in 1932 another floor was added to the second block. <br /> <br /> 1936 marked the beginning of a new era when the management of the school was placed in the hands of the Brothers of St Gabriel, Rev. Bro. Gerard Majella came from Bangkok to become the first Brother Director of the school. <br /> <br /> Brother Adolphus and Brother John de Breboeuf came in December 1936. 1936 was also the first year when the school produced its School Certificate class. <br /> <br /> It was Bro. Gerard Majella who was responsible for the smooth charge over in the school management. In 1938, he was succeeded by Bro. Louis Gonzaga. <br /> <br /> The Japanese occupation of Singapore interrupted the work of the school. Immediately after the war, Bro. Louis Gonzaga worked tiredlessly to reorganize and rehabilitate the school. He extended the block along Upper Serangoon Road by adding another floor to it. <br /> <br /> The new extension was opened by His Highness the Sultan of Johore. <br /> <br /> In 1949, Bro. Louis Gonzaga also started the afternoon school - the Holy Innocents’ Afternoon School - under the charge of Bro. Basil. <br /> <br /> In 1955 Rev. Bro. Noel. became the Director of the Holy Innocents’ and he set up a committee on 3 April 1955 to raise funds to further extend the school. Within three years the extension was completed. <br /> <br /> In 1959 Holy Innocents’ English School was renamed Montfort School in honour of the Founder, St Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, of the Gabrielite Brothers. <br /> <br /> In the late 1980s, a decision was made to relocate Montfort Junior and Secondary Schools so as to make them comparable to the newer Government Schools.

It was first set up in 1916 by the parish priest, Father H. Duvelle next to Nativity church at Upper Serangoon Road. At the request of the Inspector of Schools, he organized an English class on the top floor of the two-storey building between the church and the school canteen. The teacher was Mr Lee Ah Kow. The class lasted for three years. <br /> <br /> In March 1920, Father E. Becheras, the new parish priest restarted the school with a class of some 30 pupils under the charge of a Mr Monterio. In the following year another class was added. <br /> <br /> In 1922, Mr P A D’Costa was recruited as teacher and administrator. From 1922 to 1936 he was a tower of strength to the school and a source of inspiration to both pupils and staff. <br /> <br /> The school grew from strength to strength. A new class was added each year and additional teachers recruited. <br /> <br /> The increased intake of students necessitated the need to expand the school premises. A block of 5 classrooms along Upper Serangooon Road was completed in 1927. In 1929 three additional classrooms along Holy Innocents Lane were added. Yet in 1932 another floor was added to the second block. <br /> <br /> 1936 marked the beginning of a new era when the management of the school was placed in the hands of the Brothers of St Gabriel, Rev. Bro. Gerard Majella came from Bangkok to become the first Brother Director of the school. <br /> <br /> Brother Adolphus and Brother John de Breboeuf came in December 1936. 1936 was also the first year when the school produced its School Certificate class. <br /> <br /> It was Bro. Gerard Majella who was responsible for the smooth charge over in the school management. In 1938, he was succeeded by Bro. Louis Gonzaga. <br /> <br /> The [[Japanese occupation of Singapore]] interrupted the work of the school. Immediately after the war, Bro. Louis Gonzaga worked tiredlessly to reorganize and rehabilitate the school. He extended the block along Upper Serangoon Road by adding another floor to it. <br /> <br /> The new extension was opened by His Highness the [[Sultan of Johore]]. <br /> <br /> In 1949, Bro. Louis Gonzaga also started the afternoon school - the Holy Innocents’ Afternoon School - under the charge of Bro. Basil. <br /> <br /> In 1955 Rev. Bro. Noel. became the Director of the Holy Innocents’ and he set up a committee on 3 April 1955 to raise funds to further extend the school. Within three years the extension was completed. <br /> <br /> In 1959 Holy Innocents’ English School was renamed Montfort School in honour of the Founder, St Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, of the Gabrielite Brothers. <br /> <br /> In the late 1980s, a decision was made to relocate Montfort Junior and Secondary Schools so as to make them comparable to the newer Government Schools. A Building Fund Committee was formed to raise the necessary funds to finance the building project, the cost of which amounted to $24 million. Capital grant from the Government was 18.5 million, therefore the schools had to raise $5.5 million. <br /> <br /> Piling began in August 1989 at the new site at Hougang Avenue 8, immediately after a ground breaking ceremony on 12 August 1989 which was officiated by His Grace, Mgr Gregory Yong D.D. The main building works of the two schools started in March 1990 and took about 21 months to complete. <br /> <br /> On 2 January, 1992, the two schools, Montfort Junior and Montfort Secondary, started functioning at their new premises.<br /> <br /> In 1997, the school underwent its first R & R (Repairs and Redecoration).<br /> <br /> ==Facilities==<br /> <br /> Valour @ Montfort, an E-Gaming centre fully equipped with iMac computers was built on the campus ground itself.<br /> With the numerous potted plants and natural sunlight, the gaming centre provides a comfortable environment for the students to play in.<br /> Eye massagers are provided for the students to rest their eyes after gaming.<br /> It was officially opened on 13 July 2007, making it the second school in Singapore facilitated with a gaming centre, after Anglo-Chinese School (Independent).<br /> <br /> The school hall has seating galleries on the third level and is also air-conditioned; sponsored by one of the old boys of the school.<br /> <br /> Air-conditioned classrooms occupies the fourth level and half of the third level classrooms, giving the students a comfortable and cool environment to study and work in.<br /> <br /> Water dispensers are placed in all the classrooms to provide cool drinking water for teachers and students without the hassle of having to travel to the water coolers for a drink.<br /> <br /> A large competition standard sports hall will soon be added on to the school.<br /> Completed with seating galleries, the three-tiered sports hall will house badminton courts, basketball courts and tennis courts.<br /> The school has a cafeteria set up near the general office of the school.<br /> <br /> ==Uniqueness of the School==<br /> In Montfort secondary school, classes now start at 8.00am. Classes used to start at 8.30am.<br /> <br /> Common tests are also suspended from the school following a new system of teaching introduced to the school.<br /> <br /> With handphones being allowed in the school, students really have nothing to complain at all except the strict hair checks. The school have 2 types of uniform, the proper school uniform and an alternative uniform. <br /> <br /> E-Gaming has been introduced into the school as well.the school's badminton team has done extremely well and has done the school proud for winning the badminton championships for the past five years, making Montfort Secondary School to be the top badminton specialized and niche school in Singapore.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Notable alumni==<br /> {{refimprove|section|date=August 2009}}<br /> * [[Lim Boon Heng]] (Minister in the Prime Minister's Office){{fact|date=August 2009}}<br /> * Dr [[Lee Boon Yang]] (Minister for Communications, Information and the Arts){{fact|date=August 2009}}<br /> * [[Nicholas Chia|Archbishop Nicholas Chia]] (Archbishop of Singapore){{fact|date=August 2009}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Secondary schools in Singapore]]<br /> [[Category:Roman Catholic schools in Singapore]]<br /> [[Category:Gabrielite Brothers' schools]]<br /> [[Category:Educational institutions established in 1916]]<br /> [[Category:Hougang]]</div>
