PTA
Mougins School Parent-Teacher Association
At Mougins, the Parent-Teacher Association plays an active role in school life. Made up of an enthusiastic group of parents, teachers and student representatives, its major functions are the organising of social activities, assisting teachers with class projects, organising events and fundraising.
Our proactive PTA association involves parents across all age groups. There are dedicated class representatives who foster open communication between parents, teachers and senior leaders. The PTA also offers support to the school’s wider parent network and helps students with tutoring and support.
All pupils are encouraged to take part in social and fundraising activities, and funds raised by the PTA in the past have enabled the school to purchase a new school bus, playground equipment, stage, sound and lighting equipment, renovating the art studio and the science lab.
In addition to fundraising for the school, the PTA also regularly organises fundraising events and initiatives in support of different charities. It is quick to react to major disasters such as the Tsunami, the Haiti earthquake and 9/11, and has also raised funds nationally and internationally on behalf of Cancer Research, Red Nose Day (Comic Relief) Sidaction, and training a guide dog for the blind.
“Every parent and teacher at Mougins School is automatically a member of the PTA. Our mission is to leverage parents’ participation to foster an inclusive community and contribute to our children’s wellbeing and success. Our Class Reps have set up WhatsApp groups to facilitate communication between parents, teachers, and the school. We offer a warm welcome to new families, organise activities and events, raise funds, and generally provide support to teachers and to the School.”
