Kalgoorlie Primary School is proud to offer Wangkatja language education as part of its commitment to cultural inclusion and respect for Aboriginal heritage. Leading this initiative is Mr Troy Rundle, who has recently completed his Aboriginal languages teacher training and now delivers Wangkatja lessons to students in Years 3–6.
The introduction of Wangkatja at Kalgoorlie Primary School provides valuable learning opportunities, fostering respect for Aboriginal histories, cultures, and languages. Aboriginal language programs play a vital role in community language revitalisation, ensuring that students develop a deeper understanding of local traditions and cultural identity.
Through his teaching, Mr Rundle is helping students build connections with the Wongutha people, the original custodians of the land. His work strengthens cultural awareness and reconciliation, ensuring that Kalgoorlie Primary School remains a place where diversity is celebrated and knowledge is shared.
