- Australian Documentary on school choir
(from Ensemble: 23 June 2011)
Power of song personified in new Australian documentary
The Hon Peter Garrett MP, Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth, 5 May, 2011
The Minister for School Education, Peter Garrett, today launched the documentary film Seriously Singing – a Cinderella Story at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music.
Seriously Singing documents the achievements of the choir of Lake Boga Primary School and its conductor, Jessie Carmichael (nee Arnold), in the Jubilee year of Federation, 1951.
Representing Victoria in the Commonwealth Jubilee School Choirs’ festival, Lake Boga Primary was crowned Victoria’s best small primary school choir, singing before Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies in the Royal Exhibition Buildings in Melbourne.
“The unique historical insights this documentary contains are an inspirational story for all Australian schools,” said Mr Garrett.
“It shows the powerful transformation that making music and singing can have on students’ lives.”
