Black and White Dinner – A Night to Remember

Just when we thought last year’s Black & White Dinner was a big success, the 2025 edition blew it out of the water!

On Saturday 26 July, more than 400 guests gathered at the stunning Plaza Terrace Room at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre for an unforgettable evening celebrating all things, Iona.

The night was not only a celebration of our vibrant community but also a vital fundraiser supporting the programs that empower our students to thrive.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this night shine.

Our amazing sponsors and donors, your generosity and commitment to Iona never ceases to inspire.

• Platinum Sponsor: Educlean
• Live Auction Sponsor: Ocean Realty
• Gold Sponsors: F45 Training Wakerley, Emphasis Jewellery Collection
• Silver Sponsors: BMD Group, Green by Nature, Zone Plumbing and Backflow, Joan Pease MP
• Bronze Sponsors: 3 Elements Coffee, Crafty Monk Brewing, Continental Carpets, Cr. Alex Givney, Deep Grey Photography, Lipke Motors, Malpass Tennis, Opal Skin & Beauty, Stretch Pilates and Barre, Wynnum Golf Club

Thank you also to our wonderful Iona families and friends who enthusiastically took part in the Ocean Realty live auction — congratulations to all successful bidders!

The Baseline Studio Band had the dancefloor buzzing from start to finish with an electrifying performance. Meanwhile, LUXE Entertainment’s GLAM photo booth was a huge hit, drawing queues longer than the tuckshop on a Friday!

Our MC, Steve Haddan, hosted the evening with humour and heart, keeping the energy high and the smiles wide throughout the night.

The spectacular balloon display by Balloons By The Bay made a striking entrance that added a touch of magic to the venue.

To all the Ionians who joined us, thank you for being the heart of this incredible community. Your support makes events like this possible and helps shape the future of Iona College.

Same time next year? We can’t wait!
