The Western Australian Aboriginal Languages (Language Revival) subject enables all students to communicate proficiently by providing students with essential communication skills in an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander language, an intercultural capability, and an understanding of the role of language and culture in communication.

The learner pathway of this template is Language Revival and caters for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander languages that are being revived by their owners or custodians and are in various stages of revitalisation, renewal and reclamation.

The template provides a language sequence for each year level from Pre-primary to Year 10 for the language revival learner pathway in the Communicating and Understanding strands.
