Iona Tradition
Did you know that Iona has been sending a fortnightly newsletter to parents for nearly 50 years? It could be even longer!
The earliest located in the collection date back to 1969. And we are always looking for more! The Past Pupils newsletters go back even earlier.
Technology may have professionalised the production somewhat over the years but the basic content remains very much the same!
The issue dated January 1969, provides information about the development of new facilities such as the Sister's Chapel, the history of the Presentation Sisters, The Old Ionians' Association news (gives committee for 1969), Parents & Friends activities and events, Iona Fathers, sporting activities and up-coming events. Sound familiar?
The artist's impression of the College's expansion plans was included in a 1970 issue.
If you have any little snippets or stories about Iona, please tell me about them!
