P&F Lads and Dads Breakfast
This is your last chance to get tickets! Bookings close at 9am Friday 12 September.
What a great way to end the term – join us for the annual Iona P&F Lads and Dads Breakfast on Friday 19 September.
This year’s guest is adventurer and Iona Old Boy Oliver Foran (Class of 2016), who will share his inspiring story of resilience, overcoming tragedy, and summiting nearly 7000m of Ama Dablam in the Himalayas.
The big raffle prize on the day is a legendary Iona ‘Gorilla Griller’ Weber Family Q+ Premium barbecue (valued at $900). The only way you can get a ticket to be in the draw, is by being at the Lads and Dads Breakfast.
Please note that seating will be unallocated, and numbers are limited, so we encourage families to secure their tickets early to avoid disappointment.
Continuing Enrolment 2026
Each year, the College requests confirmation of your son's continuing enrolment for the following school year.
This provides the College with the certainty we need to assist our planning for the next 12 months.
For nearly 70 years, the families of our local community have entrusted their sons to an Oblate education at Iona. It is a responsibility we are privileged and proud to accept.
By ensuring our enrolments are accurate, we are able to maintain affordable fees to support our families.
Of course, we hope all families will continue their educational journey with us next year, as we strive to deliver a quality education and create quality men of character to serve our community.
Your completion of this short form will help us confirm your son’s continuing enrolment into 2026.
If, however, your circumstances are changing and there is a need for you to advise the College that your son will not be continuing at Iona next year, we respectfully request that you inform the College via this short form.
Please be advised that the College requests one (1) term's notice in writing should your son not be continuing at the College.
Failure to provide one (1) term's notice may result in one term's fees in lieu of sufficient notice being charged as the College commits resources based on our understanding of enrolment numbers.
Therefore, an end-of-year departure needs to be communicated by the last day of Term 3 - Friday 19 September 2025.
