"I had the privilege of attending Montfort Primary School and graduated in 1991. Reflecting on my time there, I can confidently say that it was an amazing experience. The school was located at the Old Premises back then, and I have fond memories of the environment and the people who made my schooling years so special. The teachers, though strict, played a significant role in shaping who I am today. I’m incredibly grateful for the education and values imparted to me at Montfort Primary School. Thank you, Montfort, for everything! Age Quod Agis 🤩🙏"

"Good Teachers and staffs at MJS. They are doing a wonderful job in upbringing the boys. The lessons are made interesting for them. Teachers are very supportive. Communication plays a key role when children learn, so far I had the best experience with the form teachers and MT teachers. Keep it up!!"
