Fifty staff members from St Mary’s, St Patrick’s and St Joseph’s schools recently enjoyed a sumptuous Christmas In July dinner at Dusty Hill winery as part of their Catholic Education Week celebrations.
Catholic Education Week recognises the contribution of Catholic educators to the entire Australian community. The 2014 theme is “Come, live life in all its fullness”.
St Mary’s principal Michael Nayler said the Christmas in July celebration allowed the hard-working and dedicated staff of the three schools to “live life to the full” by sharing a beautiful meal and enjoying a great spirit of camaraderie.
St Mary’s Catholic Education Week activities also include their Rock on Stage performance, South Burnett Equestrian challenge, presentations from a number of Catholic organisations and in-class activities.
Dusty Hill put on a beautiful two-course buffet for the event. The main buffet featured roast pork, chicken and cranberry rolls, beef pastries, roasted vegetables and a huge variety of slices.
After the dinner, Dusty Hill put on a wide variety of desserts and conducted wine tastings.
A number of staff from the three schools also joined in an impromptu musical performance to finish the night.
St Mary’s College provided a bus so that staff could travel safely to and from the winery.
Christmas in July will continue to be an integral part of St Mary’s Catholic Education Week celebrations.
