That the Parliament congratulates Melrose Primary School Glee Choir on reaching the grand final of the Primary School Glee Challenge; understands that the 35 pupils from P5, P6 and P7 who made up the choir performed in front of 1,200 people at the Perth Concert Hall, where they received a standing ovation for their rendition of Try Everything and It’s a Hard Knock Life; recognises that the Frisson Foundation has been organising the Primary School Glee Challenge for six years to promote wellbeing, confidence, teamwork and friendships, as well as developing learning skills; notes that, while the Melrose Primary School Glee Choir did not win, it was in the top seven out of 132 choirs, and commends everyone involved on this tremendous achievement.
