Iona College is an independent Catholic boys school, owned and
administered by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
Fr Tim Long O.M.I. and Fr Denis McCarthy O.M.I. arrived at the 32 acre
Lindum property on 1 October 1957, and the College opened its doors on
Tuesday 28 January 1958 with an enrolment of 58 students.
The name “Iona” was chosen in recognition of the Isle of Iona off the west
coast of Scotland.
Iona is located in the Brisbane bayside suburb of Lindum and caters for
nearly 1,600 students from Years 5 to 12 inclusive.

IONA’S CONNECTION TO THE CONFRATERNITY CARNIVAL
Iona participated in the Confraternity Carnival in 1980, 1981, 2017, 2018 and now in 2019.

Our best result was winning the Plate Division in 2018.

Our participation in the Confraternity Carnival
has become a means to connect with other
Rugby League schools and bind with the
communities they represent.

In 2020, Iona is privileged to be hosting the
Queensland Confraternity Carnival, and
bringing the largest school in the Bayside
back into rugby league and encouraging
the Carnival’s growth.

PLAYING FIELDS
Iona has six excellent
playing fields on
campus. Together
with Wynnum Manly
Rugby League Club,
we have the capacity
to ensure the players
have quality fields for
the competition.

PLAYER REFLECTIONS
Ryan Leadbetter - Iona Confraternity Representative 2016 And 2017
Having the opportunity to represent the College at the Confraternity Carnival, on our return in 2016,
was one of the best experiences of my life.
The competition was the best I have ever been part of. Having the opportunity to play schools from
throughout the state and see so many famous Rugby League faces during the carnival, was a great
thrill.
Confraternity is an experience like no other.

Harrison Graham - Iona Confraternity Representative 2018
Ethan Malt - Iona Confraternity Representative 2017 and 2018
                     Harrison: I was incredibly proud to lead the Iona College team at the Charters Towers
                     Carnival. The boys played some great footy against really strong opposition and to win the
                     Plate final was an awesome achievement for us, the College and our Coaches.

                     Ethan: The boys really dug deep to achieve our objectives at both the Padua and Columba
                     carnivals and our improvement over my two years was fantastic. We wish the Iona boys all the
                     very best in this year’s 2019 carnival and especially 2020 when Iona will host its first
                     Confraternity Carnival. We can’t wait to come and support the team.

Charlie Kwok-Sun Barker – Iona Confraternity Representative 2018 and 2019

Confraternity 2018 was a great experience for me as a Year 10 student. I was accepted into
the team by the older boys and made to feel really welcome from the start. Travelling away
with the team gave me a real sense of belonging.

I can’t wait for this year’s carnival at Shalom and hope to be in the team as a Senior in
2020 when Iona will host the Confraternity Carnival.

Anthony Pepe – Iona Confraternity Representative 2018 and 2019

                 I totally enjoyed my first year of Confraternity in 2018, as I got to play with some great
                 footy players from my school, and against teams from all over Queensland.

                 As Carnival hosts in 2020, it will be a big year for Iona. As a senior, I will hopefully also be
                 a representative player in Iona’s Rugby League team.
