Iona Presentation College

Welcome to Iona Presentation College. In January 2018, Iona Presentation College began an exciting new chapter in its more than 100-year history, becoming re-established as a Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 College. We have re-amalgamated Iona Primary School with Iona Presentation College for the first time since the early 1990s – and it is again providing seamless transitions in curriculum, pastoral care, and co-curricular opportunities, while continuing to lead in the Presentation Tradition.

Iona Presentation College is co-educational from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6, and all-girls from Years 7 to 12.  It is a Catholic school that, for more than 100 years, has provided education in the Presentation ethos, a rich tradition of service and commitment to social justice. Since 1907, Iona has welcomed thousands of students and maintained Excellence, Learning, Justice and Compassion, Courage and Integrity, and Hospitality at the heart of everything we do.

We, in the Iona community, consider it our privilege to be involved in the education of your child. We have a reputation as a friendly school and this is obvious when you walk through our campus. When your daughter or son join us, your whole family becomes part of the Iona community and all that it encompasses. Past Pupils and members of our current community hold close a maxim that defines the educational experience we all work to offer: 'Making a difference, together'.

Our student numbers are maintained at a level which enables staff to know and appreciate each child as an individual and we are pleased to say that our students come from many areas of the Perth metropolitan area.

We believe that the early years of childhood are the times for developing healthy, respectful and collaborative relationships.

With the Junior and Senior Schools having their own distinct learning settings, all of our students enjoy being part of a strong united community, where role modelling and leadership responsibilities and opportunities are available to all students.

Iona provides an opportunity for your children to practise being humble and caring citizens. Students are encouraged to become active citizens of the world with a lifelong ethos for giving back to those less fortunate.

All Junior School classes have a responsibility to involve themselves in service activities, and for each Senior School student, service learning is an individual responsibility, through our formal program 'Iona Care'.

At Iona, we aim to foster an environment that encourages and challenges your child to achieve their best in all that they do.

From Pre-Kindergarten through to Year 12, the curriculum inspires students to explore and extend their potential according to their abilities and interests as they grow from dependence to independence.  It develops critical and creative thinkers who are self-motivated and give consideration to their own learning journey.

Our students continue to achieve excellent academic results across all subject areas – year after year.  Graduands of Iona Presentation College are well prepared for future study and work options.

Your child will learn from teachers who love what they do and take their roles as educators very seriously. Our teaching staff are chosen because they are exceptional teachers with a commitment to help your child reach their potential and embrace their talents.

Your child's wellbeing is fundamental to their academic, mental and social growth. That is why pastoral care at Iona is an integral part of all activities and is embedded in every facet of College life.

Iona is committed to using the latest technology and continuous connectivity across the campus enables every teaching area to be fully equipped with resources. Technology is infused into the curriculum at every level and students are guided to become well-informed and wise users of this ever-evolving information and learning tool.

Iona has a solid sporting reputation with excellent programs. With expert and supportive coaching, your child can excel in a vast range of sports with students competing as part of the Junior Independent Girls' Schools' Sports Association (JIGSSA) and in Senior School, the Independent Girls' Schools' Sports Association (IGSSA).

Playing sport is more than exercise—it provides opportunities for motivation; experiences in success and failure; and the development of leadership skills, camaraderie and selflessness.

It is important for students to have a balance of academic, social and physical pursuits, while also enjoying time with friends and family. The broad range of co-curricular offerings in the Junior School and Senior School provide students with a variety of possibilities to find an activity they enjoy doing and where their skills lie.

Our Buckland (Junior) and Palmerston (Senior) Campuses are both nestled in the leafy suburb of Mosman Park, between the Indian Ocean and the Swan River. Because our students come from all over the metropolitan area, we offer southern (Mandurah/Cockburn/Murdoch) and northern (Karrinyup) private bus transport. Many other areas are serviced well with Transperth options leaving from or near the campuses.

'Belonging' is something we all desire and treasure. Past Pupils maintain a strong connection to the College and to each other. Once you become part of the Iona community from your first day at school, you will always be an Iona student—even when you're a grandparent!
