Middle school

Students in Years 7 and 8 study a broad curriculum and, just as in Primary, teachers at Iona College foster strong relationships between students and families.

Hands on, problem-based learning is encouraged and technology is used as a tool to enhance creativity across a range of learning areas including robotics, visual art, science, music and industrial design and technology.

In Year 9, students experience their first elective model. This is a turning point for students as they move towards the end of compulsory years of education. 

Outside of the core subjects of Religious Education, Mathematics, English, History, Science, Health & Physical Education, students choose three elective subjects from the following list:

  • Aerospace
  • Commerce
  • Marine Studies
  • Music
  • Design
  • Drama
  • Digital Technologies
  • Industrial Technology
  • Art and Film
  • Japanese
  • Physical Education
  • Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM)
