Moorditj Noongar Community College Newsletter

We have had a busy start to the school year at Moorditj. School attendance has been great in 2025 and student behaviour across the school has been very positive. Please ensure that children are attending school every day. Children are required to have 80% attendance to participate in reward excursions or camps. Those students that achieve 90% attendance will be invited to laser tag at the end of term.

Moort Afternoon Tea

Moorditj held a Family Afternoon Tea on Wednesday 19th February. It was fantastic to see so many friendly families at the event. Please try and attend these important days so that you can keep up to date with your child’s education and progress.

Swan Adventure Camp

Moorditj is holding its annual Yr5/6 Camp at the Swan Adventure Camp on the 31st March 2025. Camp is an amazing experience for our older students which develops friendships, teamwork, and connection within the group. The Camp is heavily subsidised by the school and offered for just $75. Children attending the camp will enjoy the commando course, a climbing challenge, high ropes, bush craft, a tricky crate stack and much, much more. For safety reasons students need to have their good standing and be proven to follow directions to attend. Students also need to have 80% attendance to participate in the overnight part of the camp.

NAPLAN Testing

From week 6 this term students in Yr3 and Yr5 will be sitting NAPLAN tests along with every other similar aged child in the state. These tests provide a snapshot of student academic performance and support our teacher judgments when reporting. The tests are not intended to be stressful, and we will encourage students to do their best.

Home Reading

Home Reading is an important part of our literacy strategy at Moorditj Noongar Community College. It is important that children read every night for at least 10 minutes. We will send home a variety of books that are at their appropriate level. Students that get their home reading books folders signed, will earn books every 20 nights at assembly. There is also a special excursion to Bounce booked at the end of term for students reading 35 nights.

The quality of our teaching and learning programs will be maximised when each family contributes and pays their invoice that was sent out late last year and earlier this term.
