Welcome to Iona connect
Iona Connect is Iona's online community platform for social and professional networking.
Iona Connect is our online social and business networking hub. It is designed to bring Old Girls, students, parents, and friends of the College closer together, to provide ways to reconnect and stay in touch and to build a supportive life-long community. Another major part of our work is to raise funds to ensure we continue to deliver amazing opportunities and education to our students.

REUNIONS AT IONA
A class reunion at Iona is a truly memorable experience. Start the day with morning tea in the Heritage Room followed by a school tour hosted by a member of The Iona Old Girls' Association. Reminisce and reconnect in the place where you spent your formative years.
If you are interested in organising a reunion for your year group, please follow the link below and we can help to make arrangements.

Perfect as a gift… or a little treat for yourself.


Opportunities to Get Involved
We are creating a highly engaged and social network, because everyone who joins Iona Connect has a shared affection for Iona College. We are here to help you find peers and develop your network of old school friends, hear about events and reunions, reminisce about your time at Iona College, access our business directory (to be launched early 2024) and update your details and bio. We welcome your support through career advice, guidance and mentoring opportunities for our students and your contribution to the continuous development of Iona College.
'As I reflect on my years at Iona, I believe its instruction was of the highest caliber, and it equipped its girls to live interesting and significant lives anywhere in the world.'Edith Battan (Astall), 1932-1934
