What's on Offer?

The Oblates of Mary Immaculate deeply treasure the ministry and care of the Iona community and have been inspired by the many people they have worked alongside in building the culture and strengths of our community.

Our Catholic identity and the person of Jesus remain central to every aspect of College life.  The College continues to focus on the whole person and the positive development of the young men in our care as well as the significant number of people who call Iona home.
