Annually, the Iona College community of employees and their families are invited to come and share a day of fun in the sun at a good old fashioned barbecue. The event is held on Rice Oval on a Sunday afternoon during the summer months. There are games for the children i.e. water balloon races, tee shirt painting, watermelon eating contests and face painting -- just to name a few and for those who wish; Sunday Liturgy is held outdoors prior to the start of the picnic.
