Their aim is to raise money for the school, but the activities which take place are also mainly enjoyable social events. Would you be interested in being more involved with the Friends of Illogan School?

If the answer is "YES" please contact the school.

Easter Eggstravaganza

The eggs for this event were paid for by the Friends

For the Eggstravaganza parents of KS1 were invited to come into school on the Monday to help make the Easter Bonnets with the children ready for the Parade on Wednesday. The classes paraded around the track with KS2 watching. After the parade the KS1 children had an Easter Egg Hunt, they had to find coloured cardboard eggs in return for chocolate eggs. The parents enjoyed Easter Biscuits made by the children and staff.

Helping our friends to find the eggs.
