Christmas carols and cheer

Goonawarra Primary School is bringing Christmas cheer to Sunbury this December.

The school choir will be singing festive favourites and pop culture classics at the Sunbury Hume Global Learning Centre and Sunbury Square Shopping Centre.

Performing arts teacher and choir coordinator Kelli Brogan said the kids were excited to bring some cheer into the library and sing their favourite carols for the second time.

“They sang last year (at the library) and the staff were wrapped with them, so they’re going back again this year,” she said.

“On the same day, they’re also singing at Sunbury Square, so they’re doing both on the same day. They’re also doing the carols at the end of the year.

“They’re pretty excited for the Christmas season.”

With about 35 kids in the choir, the group spend every day during recess practicing for the choir, and Ms Brogan said they are a very dedicated group of students.

“They don’t mind what they sing so long as they get to sing,” she said.

“It’s good to see the confidence that it’s building for them as well.”

The Goonawarra Primary School choir will be performing at the Sunbury Hume Global Learning Centre on Friday 5 December from 12.30pm to 1pm. There are no bookings required.

The choir will also perform at Sunbury Square on the same day.
