Welcome to Iona Presentation College.

As Principal, I have the privilege of serving this exceptional community and building upon the foundations of our Presentation Sisters and all who have gone before. Story is important to me and for over 100 years the Presentation story and ethos has guided and shaped so many, inspiring a strong sense of service and justice for all. Aspiring for excellence, promoting learning, justice and compassion, acting with courage and integrity, and extending hospitality are at the very core of the Iona way. 

As a Catholic school, we provide a Co-educational experience for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6 and an all-girls environment for Year 7 to Year 12 students. It is our calling to prepare and equip our students with all the necessary tools to experience success in an ever-changing world. It is with this in mind that our students are afforded a holistic education using contemporary pedagogies, where dedicated staff, equipped with first class facilities, support student learning both during the school day and beyond. At Iona we recognise that learning never ends and thus seek to afford an extensive offering of Co-curricular activities and development opportunities to our students.

As Principal, I am acutely aware of the importance of connection with one's peers and community, and we are blessed to have many initiatives to ensure the inclusion of all. A strong sense of family permeates all we do, and a friendly and welcoming environment is what you will experience when visiting the Iona community. All are welcome and all Iona students, whether current or Past Pupils, will always be central to the story and ethos of Iona Presentation College.

In the spirit of Nano Nagle, who shone her lantern so brightly for others, it is my hope that her light shines through as you journey through our website. I encourage you to contact us should you require any further information about our rich and vibrant learning community. 

Iona students make a difference, together.

God bless,

Ms Robyn Miller
