WELCOME
It is my privilege to welcome you to Iona–a school that honours its heritage while looking forward to the future to empower our girls for life.
We are committed to a culture of academic excellence and to developing the whole girl. The young women who graduate from Iona have a strength of character, grace, and selflessness that embody the Christian values on which we were founded.
There are rich opportunities available to students in the academic, sporting, cultural, and spiritual domains. At Iona, girls are challenged, understood and nurtured. Our strong relational teaching and exceptional pastoral care are complemented by our beautiful surroundings.
I invite you to explore what Iona has to offer and to see what amazing young women Iona Girls are.
