Iona College

We are proud to be recognised as one of the leading secondary schools in New Zealand education.

Iona College was named as one of the top six schools in New Zealand for University Entrance results following the release of data published by the NZ Qualifications Authority in 2019, and in 2020, our students achieved a perfect 100% pass rate across NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3. We again achieved a near-perfect pass result in 2022, 2023, and again as detailed below in 2024.

These outcomes continue to reflect the importance placed on academic achievement at the school. Our students are encouraged to produce their best possible results through determination to succeed and a strong work ethic.

We applaud the effort, grit and determination our girls have demonstrated in the achievement of their goals.

We also remember that behind every result, there is a face and behind every statistic, there is a story of triumph over adversity or a lesson in the benefits of hard work. And sometimes too, the learning found in a missed opportunity!

More than anything, it is the young women that Iona Girls become that make us most proud – strong in intellect and strong in character.
