PARENT VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION 2025/2026

Dear students, parents, teachers, and staff

We are thrilled to launch the 2025/2026 PTA Parent Voluntary Contribution process and invite students, parents, teachers, and staff to submit ideas on how this part of the PTA budget could be spent to make our community even better!

Your idea could actually make a big difference, so please read on below for all the details. We hope many of you will participate in this exciting opportunity and submit your ideas. We look forward to receiving them!

The 2025/2026 PTA Parent Voluntary Contribution

Over 110 families kindly contributed to the PTA Parent Voluntary Contribution in their School Contract this year, and the School transfers an amount of €16,500 to the PTA. As per previous years, these funds are kept and managed separately from the PTA Treasury and will be available to fund ideas that benefit our students and the Mougins School community, as well as two annual events (2025 Winter Event and 2026 International Day).

Starting Wednesday, 24th September, students, teachers, staff and parents are invited to submit their ideas for how the funds should be spent this year. The process for submitting ideas is similar to last year and is outlined below, together with the online submission form. 

A few key things to highlight upfront:

• No single idea submissions above a €10,000 budget. 

• An in-person ‘Help Session’ for Students and Teachers wishing to submit an idea will be offered. 

• No ideas which require building and/or erecting new infrastructure. The school is on protected land, so anything that requires drilling into the ground is unlikely to be approved by the authorities. This is unfortunate, but we learnt this from previous years.

• We are open for idea submissions for 3 weeks. Please ensure you use this time to work with the PTA to include an accurate budget. This gives us more chance to be able to deliver your idea.

• All students' submission forms should include the contact details of one or more parents, teachers or the PTA who are going to actively help deliver the idea with them if they win.

We are delighted that Louise Peeters continues in the role of PTA Parent Voluntary Contribution Coordinator this year and she can be reached via the email as follows:
