End of year information 2013

Thirty two students will be graduating from Mougins School this year in order to follow higher education. They represent 11 of the 41 nationalities at the School which has 520 students. Seventy per cent of the students will be going to British universities, the others to the Netherlands, Canada and France.
September 2103 will see the end of the building programme and the opening of the new Science Building which provides four Laboratories, a second Computer Suite and an extra classroom.
Despite the economic crisis, Mougins School faces the future with serenity. A British education is highly sought after in this region, both by foreigners who choose to live and work here, as well as French families who are not only looking for an education of high academic quality, but also the possibility to follow studies in music, art, theatre and sport.

Other than the academic work of our students, they participate in a number of charity fund-raising challenges during the year. They recently had a ‘bowl of rice’ day where they experienced a typical Indian meal and the difference between the cost of a bowl of rice and an ordinary meal allowed us to send 600€ to the Pandrata Circle Association in Gokarna in India. This is to be used to build shelves, using local artisanal skills, for the 150 kilos of text books we have already sent to Pandrata to help with the teaching of English. Students in the Primary School also created ‘flash cards’ for the same purpose. Over the year the School has raised 4,270€ which included donations to Sidaction and the Cancer Centre for Children at l’Archet 2 in Nice.
The caring family atmosphere of the School is well reflected in its actions and an international environment and high standard of education help to form well-rounded young adults able to deal with the demands of an ever-changing world.
