Iona Presentation College is a prestigious independent day for girls, located in Mosman Park, an affluent suburb of Perth, Western Australia.Founded in 1907 by the Presentation Sisters, Iona now caters for approximately 960 girls from Years 7 to 12.The college is a member of the Independent Girls Schools Sports Association (IGSSA), the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australia, and the Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia.HistoryIona Presentation College was founded on 11 September 1907, by the Presentation Sisters who came to Australia from Kildare in Ireland.The College is named after the Scottish Isle of Iona, on which the Irish Saint Columba founded a community in 563AD. Iona became a centre of learning from which Saint Columba and his monks spread the Gospel into Scotland and the north of England. Bishop Gibney remarked that the school's location in Mosman Park, situated on a rise, with the Swan River on one side and the ocean on the other, reminded him of the Isle of Iona. Furthermore, one of the four founding sisters was Sister Columba and so it was decided that an appropriate name for the College would be Iona. Iona recently celebrated its centenary in 2007, marking 100 years since the foundation of the college.
