WINGHAM’S John Taylor has shared the unbelievable experience of bringing
back to life a language his Biripi ancestors have spoken for thousands of
years, with his son Jason.

John and Jason Taylor were the only father and son to graduate the Gathang
language course run through Taree, TAFE.

The pair have always been proud to embrace their indigenous culture so when
they learnt about the course, they jumped at the chance to study together.

Jason is studying his teaching degree and is working at Wingham Public
School with John who is a member of the teaching support staff.

 “It’s been really great to work in the school with my son as well as
studying the language,” he said.

They will now spread their culture further as they teach the traditional
Aboriginal language at a number of schools in Wingham as part of the
language curriculum.
