In the lead up to Christmas, four Catholic school choirs were invited to perform in the Marble Foyer at Parliament House for the 2018 Christmas at Australian Parliament House program.

Over two weeks, Holy Trinity Primary School, Curtin, St Benedict’s Primary School, Narrabundah, St Jude’s Primary School, Holder and St John Vianney’s Primary School, Waramanga each took centre stage with their conductors. 

The Speaker of the House of Representatives the Hon Tony Smith MP, and the President of the Senate, Senator the Hon Scott Ryan, launched the 2018 Christmas program on the 26 November, officially lighting the Parliament House Giving Tree.

This year the Giving Tree is raising money for Drought Angels and the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF), and is on display until 3 January.

The school choirs were praised on their ‘delightful performances and impressive conductors’ and have been welcomed back to perform at next year’s Christmas at Australian Parliament House.
