23.01.2022 Our Year 12 students and their mothers enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea yesterday at Frasers Restaurant. Reflecting on the year that has been, and what is still to come over the next few weeks in regard to school events and final assessments, it was a lovely opportunity for the girls and their mothers to take some time out of busy schedules and spend some time together. #iona #ionapresentationcollege #makingadifferencetogether #classof2020 #year12

21.01.2022 R U OK? There were splashes of yellow all around the College today in recognition of @ruokday. Year 12s dressed in yellow, and our Wellbeing Captain Molly and her SLC team sold yellow ribbons for a gold coin donation as well as giving out R U OK cookies (from @sweetlybakedperth) to girls around the College at lunchtime. It is hoped these initiatives encourage our girls to check in with one another and ask each other the important question R U OK? #iona #ionapresentationcollege #makingadifferencetogether #ruokday #wellbeing

19.01.2022 Just like their daughters, our Year 7 Parents made many new friendships and connections on Friday evening at the Parent Sundowner. With girls coming from over 50 primary schools to begin their secondary school journey at Iona, we are blessed to have such a vibrant parent community. #iona #ionapresentationcollege #makingadifferencetogether

18.01.2022 Congratulations to Year 9 Visual Arts student Milla Venturi Leach, whose artwork has been selected as an Honourable Mention in the 13-15-year-old category for her portrait titled Jemimah which will be displayed at Sydneys SH Ervin Gallery as part of the Young Archie's Exhibition. "This portrait is of my friend and teammate Jemimah. Driven, disciplined and a force to be reckoned with on the basketball court, she is also a warm, honest and generous person. It is t...hese two sides of her personality that I have endeavoured to capture in my portrait. The reference photo was taken after a tough weekend of State Championship try-outs and her vulnerability in a moment of self-reflection documents her feminine tranquillity, which is inseparable from her strength and courage. She steadies herself by taking a dip in the pool, with her mind still on the court, elsewhere." https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/prizes/young-archie/2020/ #iona #ionapresentationcollege #makingadifferencetogether #visualarts See more

17.01.2022 Our Year 12 ATAR Politics and Law students were privileged to have Mr Fred Chaney AO speak to them today, broadening their understanding of Human Rights and specifically, the ongoing progression of indigenous rights in Australia. With this, the importance and courage to speak out when we see a disparity in social justice for not only marginalised, but all people. #iona #ionapresentationcollege #makingadifferencetogether

17.01.2022 Our final positive emotion is love. Love encompasses all forms of positivity and is the most common positive emotion that people feel. As we enter the festive season, may you feel and share love through your words and actions with all those around you!

17.01.2022 Grit is within! Not only can we cultivate grit from the inspirational persistence of others around us and through the resilience of nature. But our greatest examples of grit can come from turning our focus within. Reflect on times when youve persisted and fought gallantly. Let these lived examples be your source of gritty inspiration to help you get through any obstacle in your path this week. #iona #ionapresentationcollege #makingadifferencetogether #wellbeing #grit

15.01.2022 Leroy the Wellbeing Dog has been hard at work bringing joy to students and staff at Iona. A recent competition was held where students could submit a design for a coat or bandana for Leroy to wear at school. Kori from Year 7 designed a coat that would show that Leroy supports all of the Iona Houses equally. For the last two years, Leroy has attended school two days per week, and whilst he may be small in stature, he has a huge heart. #iona #ionapresentationcollege #makingadifferencetogether #wellbeing @leroyslicks

15.01.2022 Congratulations to Year 11 ATAR Visual Arts student, Gianna Lawrence, who has been selected as a finalist in the Young Archies Exhibition 16-18-year-old category for her portrait titled Linda which will be displayed at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. "Linda has dedicated her life to the education of primary school students, and it is her compassion, commitment and genuine care for their wellbeing and development which inspired me to create this portrait of ...her. Through her thoughtful expression, I aimed to capture her joyful and calm nature which she brings to her classroom every day, often through the various musical instruments she plays. The portrait seeks to evoke feelings of nostalgia and warmth from viewers who have also experienced the ongoing positive effects of a teacher who has made a difference in their lives." https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au//young-ar/2020/ #iona #ionapresentationcollege #makingadifferencetogether #visual art See more

14.01.2022 Our Years 7 and 8 students wanted to find a special way to thank Mrs Pitos for all she has done during her time at Iona as Principal. Inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas, they created this video for the final College Assembly today.

14.01.2022 Our seventh positive emotion is awe. Feeling a sense of awe stops you in your tracks and it allows you to feel humble and overwhelmed by greatness. It can help you to feel part of something larger than yourself and can push you to do extraordinary things. Therefore, when was the last time you stopped and were transfixed in awe of something amazing? #iona #ionapresentationcollege #makingadifferencetogether #loveoflearning #education #school #waeducation #perthschool #perthschools #australianschools #wellbeing #positivity

11.01.2022 Merry Christmas from staff band, "The Nano's"

10.01.2022 We are delighted that three of our Year 12 ATART Visual Art students have been selected as part of the Pulse Perspectives 2021 which will run from March next year. Iona has continually been well represented at this prestigious exhibition; and we are delighted that this year is no exception. Taylor Wetherall’s ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’ comments on the banality of isolation within the elderly community; an issue particularly pertinent during the Covid-19 Global Pandemic. Jord...ee Simmons’ ‘Can’t Judge a Book by its Cover’ is a celebration of her personal and cultural context; the relationship between her nanna and Jordee and Jordee’s relationship with her Indigenous ancestry. Rachael Whitechurch’s ‘You Light the Way’ is about the absence of her mother who passed away when Rachael was 12 after a brave and hard-fought battle with cancer. #iona #ionapresentationcollege #makingadifferencetogether @artgallerywa See more
