Strategic Plan
For more than 118 years, Iona Presentation College has been a place where young people grow in faith, knowledge and service.
Our Strategic Plan, Shining Brighter (2026-2030), is both a map and a mission - shaped by our Presentation history and focused on future opportunities.
This plan reflects the future of our students - Ionians who shines brightly in the world, carrying forward the light of Nano Nagle.
"At Iona, learning is more than an academic pursuit; it is the foundation of who we are. It is the wonder in a child's eyes, the courage to grow through change, the striving for excellence and the wisdom to keep asking questions - at every age and stage."
Ms Robyn Miller, College Principal

Spirit
At this unique time in our Presentation history, we take bold steps to reimagine the Presentation charism that has been entrusted to lay leadership. Inspired by Pope Leo XIV's call for Catholics to serve at society's margins, we commit to reaching the vulnerable. We strive to empower Ionians to be compassionate agents of transformation and carry the lantern for those who cannot. Guided by the Holy Spirit and the enduring values of our Presentation story, we move forward with faith, courage and purpose.
A dynamic ecosystem of self-directed learners, ethical innovators, and striving minds.
Curiosity
Iona is a lighthouse of learning where minds are nurtured to explore, question, and create. Within the classroom, on the stage, in the lab, and across the playing fields, the spark of curiosity drives every Ionian to engage deeply and think boldly. This guiding light calls us to fuse time-tested wisdom with future-ready practices, creating space for ethical innovation and courageous thinking. Our legacy of academic excellence now evolves into a landscape where students lead their learning with passion, purpose, and imagination.
A lifelong network of confident, compassionate change-makers rooted in shared connection.
Sisterhood
At the centre of Iona is community. The welcoming heart of Ionians is one that continues to embrace all members to foster a safe, inclusive and connected community. The sisterhood of Ionians extends beyond current pupils, past pupils (IPPA), Presentation Sisters, and all those actively involved in Iona: parents, staff, and beyond. As the Catholic Church continues to deepen its understanding of accompaniment, Iona is called to be courageous in how it reaches out to allow more feel a deeper sense of connection.
A thriving environment where courageous leaders and agile learners grow to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
Growth
This guiding light celebrates growth as a living process - where people can thrive, take risks and step into their own potential. As a learning organisation, Iona commits to the flourishing of staff as lifelong learners and the development of young leaders ready to face an uncertain future. Our infrastructure, systems, and learning environments are built to support not just what we do, but who we become. With hearts attuned to service, we grow to shine more brightly - not for ourselves, but for others.
