Frequently Asked Questions
We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions which we hope will help in answering your enrolment questions.
When should an Enrolment Application be lodged?
We encourage you to register an Enrolment Application well in advance of the entry year.
Interviews are conducted by invitation only and usually occur two to three years prior to the year of enrolment.
What are the entry procedures following submission of the Enrolment Application Form?
Upon completion of the online Enrolment Application form and the payment of the $150 application fee, students are placed on a prospective future students’ list. Subject to availability an interview may be offered two to three years prior to the year of enrolment supplied.
Photocopies of the student's birth certificate must accompany the initial enrolment application along with a Baptismal certificate, if applicable.
Prospective students not born in Australia, are required to provide proof of their Australian citizenship/residency or visa details.
This enrolment procedure must be followed for each child in the family wishing to secure a place.
When do enrolment interviews take place for entry into Iona?
Enrolment interviews take place two to three years prior to the proposed year of enrolment.
How many students attend Iona?
Iona Presentation College currently has approximately 970 students in the Senior School and 350 students in the Junior School.
Does Iona only accept Catholic students?
Although Catholic students are prioritised for placement, students of other religious denominations are also fully considered. Positions are subject to availability, as per the Iona Enrolment Priorities Form.

Open Mornings are held at the College several times throughout the year and are advertised on the College website.
What happens if/when my child is offered a place at Iona?
Subsequent to interviews, families may be offered a place for their son or daughter. Following an offer, a period of two weeks is granted to accept the position by completion of the online admission form and payment of the $2000.00 enrolment confirmation fee. This will secure your child’s future place.
Does Iona provide an Orientation Program?
Yes. All details of the Orientation Program are sent to incoming students in the year prior to their commencement.
Do you have feeder schools?
We accept students from many different schools.
We welcome students from a wide range of schools to the Iona community where different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives are valued and celebrated.
Does having a sibling at the College or a Past Pupil linkage give my child priority on the waiting list?
Having a sibling at the College or a mother or grandmother who attended the College will give your child priority on the waiting list, but it does not guarantee a place.
Where is my child on the waiting list?
Due to the changing nature of waiting lists, we do not advise of a child's actual position at any point in time. However, if a place becomes available for your child, we will contact you.
For further information regarding the enrolment process or to enrol your daughter, please contact our College Registrar, Mrs Theresa Loughnan on 9285 5298 or Theresa.Loughnan@iona.wa.edu.au.
