Moorditj Noongar Community College (CC) is seeking to appoint a hardworking School Officer to join our friendly and supportive team.
As a School Officer you will be the first point of contact for our school and should support co-ordination and delivery of administrative and customer focused support services within our school. The successful applicant will ideally have a friendly, positive and caring attitude; be self- motivated and be organised. They will also ideally model effective and quality customer and administrative support service and have excellent interpersonal and communication skills to work in collaboration with the administration team, school support staff, our school community and teaching staff.

The College is a systemic school set in the quiet surrounds of Black Adder Creek. There are approximately 120 students enrolled at Moorditj Noongar CC between 3 year old KindiLink and Year 6. The classes are small compared to other schools and this enables students to receive significantly more teacher-pupil time together. The students live in the Midland area and immediate surrounding suburbs. Attendance rates are high because the children have access to transportation to and from school. Although there is a significant amount of movement to and from other schools many students return to Moorditj because they miss their friends and extended family members within the Indigenous context. The design of the buildings is symbolic of aspects of Aboriginal culture.
