 From ABC news:

Koori school reaps language benefits
Teachers at a Sydney high school say since they've been teaching 
Indigenous students the Dharug language, the students have lifted their 
attendance rates.

For the record, Dharug is considered extinct. Doesn't much sound like it 
though... (ignore the fact that the presenter calls it 'Jurack')
