Principal’s Message

“I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.”

PD & Yr 7 Welcome to Iona College, a boarding and day school for girls in Havelock North.

As a parent, I know that deciding on your daughter’s secondary schooling creates mixed feelings. There is excitement that she has reached this stage of her life and that new possibilities are opening up but there is also a certain anxiety. You want to provide her with the best start you possibly can and you want to make the right choice.

At Iona, the student is placed at the centre of learning.  We believe in pursuing personal best through a holistic approach to education.  Students are guided to become independent, actively involved learners by providing opportunities in all fields of endeavour: academic, sporting, cultural and spiritual.  Iona is a place where every girl can grow as an individual and realise her unique potential.

With a commitment to small class sizes and Christian values, Iona provides a warm, caring environment in which each student can live, learn and achieve.

Our door is always open and we look forward to meeting you and your family.

Warm regards,

Pauline Duthie
