Always wonder what ‘girt’ means
There was ridicule regarding that word in the anthem. There still is.
It means in context of the island of Australia “Surrounded by water.”
Etymology - Middle English ( spoken and written in England from about 1100 to about 1500) Girden meaning encircle.
Not a lot really, had some stuff reaffirmed though 
Times tables, 2-12, still remember them all!
Lots of songs :
Leaving on a jet plane
Morning has broken
If I had a hammer
Streets of London
Yellow submarine
Morningtown Ride
So many others, they just don’t come to mind at the moment.
Not forgetting all those Christmas carols!
My favourite time of the day, morning assembly with two teachers playing guitar and piano and us kids singing along. 
You could get that information off the radio!!
I’m glad it wasn’t just me Rose! 
I still remember the words to those traditional hymns, not that I’d volunteer to get up on the stage and sing Holy Holy Holy these days! 
Very festive Spitty! 
Not quite the same song though! 
It’s just words Rose2
Great song though
Ok, I was just answering the question of the new thread.
I know, suppose what I was saying is a list of songs could be picked up from a radio, not exclusively School, it would be hard to know exactly where you first heard a song.
Definitely at school, it was Primary school, I didn’t listen to the radio at that age.
One did not have to consciously listen, stuff can be picked up from background noise, origins can blend with time
The Welsh National Anthem.
Came in handy years later at rugby internationals.
I wandered lonely as a cloud . . .
I learnt how urgently I needed to leave school and start working to take some money home. I left aged 14.
I left around fourteen, unofficially, I’d seen all I needed to see 
It’ll soon be time for UB40 to come home to Brum and say goodbye!!
No one cared around here, even the “Wag Man” spent most days Wagging it
What did I learn by rote?
How to write lines … usually a hundred times.
