Historical information

The Kelmscott Primary School Choir was composed of Year Six and Seven pupils and was formed in 1978 under the guidance of Mrs Lucille (Sally) Christmass. No interested child was denied admission. The school principal, Mr Bruce Blyth, suggested a recording be made, so assistance was sought from Mr John Christmass, a Senior Education Officer in the Music Branch of the Education Department.
Under the direction of Mr and Mrs Christmass, a programme was selected, regular rehearsals conducted and twenty one songs learned during second term. The final selection of seventeen songs are on this recording.
