Parents

The Iona community is energetic and compassionate - always willing to embrace new families and nurture our students and parents. We truly value our parents and treasure the opportunity to walk with them on their child’s educational journey.

The Iona Parent Council is a parent group that aims to assist the College to fulfill its educational responsibilities and to provide assistance in the building of a strong and supportive community of parents, teachers and students.

In conjunction with the College Leadership Team, the Parent Council helps to contribute to areas of need in the College via a range of fundraising initiatives and hands-on support. The Parent Council meet regularly to organise social events at the College that contribute to the spirit of Iona; connecting families and building a sense of community.

Highlights of the Iona Parent social calendar include:

Welcome Sundowner
Annual key event (e.g. quiz nights, cocktail parties and celebration balls)
Annual Tuition Raffles

“Being part of the Iona Parent Council has been a fabulous way to make friendships with other parents, stay connected to the school and, most importantly, give back to a community that has given to our daughter, and our whole family, so much over the last decade.”

Jane

“Being new to the school, I found that becoming a Parent Rep was a great way to get to know how the school operates, as well as meeting other parents from across the school community.”

Michaela

“Being on the Iona Parent Council is a great way to hear more about what is happening across the school and to get to know parents from all year groups. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be involved in the life of the school.”
