REPORT: Nick Perry - The reinstatement process of the Narungga language took
another step on Tuesday, October 28, when Department of Education and
Children’s Services (DECS) Inclusion and the Arts curriculum director Mark
Williams officially launched the Narungga Language Teaching Program at the DECS
Wakefield District Office, Kadina.

Through the program, students in Kadina, Wallaroo, Wallaroo Mines and Stansbury
Primary; Moonta and Maitland Area; Kadina Memorial High and Point Pearce
Aboriginal Schools will have access to a teaching program enabling them to
learn the Narungga language and culture.

The launch marks an important phase in the Narungga language reinstatement, an
initiative that commenced in 2000 aiming to re-establish the near-forgotten
language of the native Narungga people.
