Iona College principal Shannon Warren has announced her resignation today.
This morning the College and Board of Trustees announced it was with great regret, but with understanding and support, that they had accepted her resignation which will be effective in December this year.
Mrs Warren is to return to Adelaide to become Principal of Woodcroft College, an independent, co educational school with 1,200 students.
"This is not a decision that Mrs Warren has made lightly as she has repeatedly expressed her love for Iona and the wider school community," College Council chair Angus Mabin and Board of Trustees chair Lisa Townshend said.
The pair said while Mrs Warren's departure saddened them they were pleased she had the opportunity to extend her career in a role that brought new and different challenges.
