On Sunday, the choir attended the Celebration Concert at Sydney Town Hall.
During the evening meal break, we visited the David Jones’ Christmas windows, this year based upon a new picture book, especially commissioned from Ursula Dubosarsky and illustrated by Sue deGennaro.

Former student and now professional author, Cassandra Golds, found this Youtube link and wanted to share it:
“These are the various musical groups at Penrith Primary School, recorded in 1972, when I was in Year 4. I can’t get over how good they are! Mr Doug Pope, who I adored, is conducting the band and the drums in the final item are played by Mr Rose, who I also adored.”

2. Humpty Dumpty – Senior Choir
3. Air – Flute Band
