The school song

 Musical Score by Mr. Chua Song Khoon
 Lyrics by Mr. Teo Kah Leng

Verse 1:

All ye sons of Montfort School,
ever grateful be and true.
To your Alma Mater dear,
for her loving care of you.
Keep your filial piety,
burning bright your whole life through.
Ever jealous of her name,
ever mindful of her claim.

Chorus:

Hark! Her bugle sounds aloud,
rise her sons, and play your part,
With a song upon your lips,
and a courage in your heart.
See! Her banner in the breeze,
freely flutters high and smart!
Feel in you a surging pride,
when your Mater's colours ride.

Verse 2:

All ye sons of Montfort School,
onward, steadfastly advance.
Higher, nearer to your star,
never casting back a glance.
Forge ahead, relentlessly,
trusting naught to happy chance.
Onward, onward valiantly,
onward press with destiny.

Verse 3:

All ye sons of Montfort School,
takes whatever comes your way.
Every blessing with a smile,
every woe without dismay.
All undaunted by the odds,
you may counter in life’s fray.
Boldly march in spirit high,
nobly live, and nobly die.
