Name:  Mrs Staines (ANNE)

Teaching:  Principal

I have worked at St Matthew’s Page, St Joseph’s O’Connor, St Thomas More’s Campbell and was at St Benedict’s Narrabundah before being appointed to Sacred Heart Pearce.

I grew up on a farm near Crookwell.

I have had many pets as I was growing up including fish, birds, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. Our gorgeous dog, Bella was with Martyn and I for 17 years and brought us much joy.

Chocolate or hot chips: Neither chips or chocolate – I prefer cheese and olives for a snack.

My favourite adult novel is April Fool’s Day by Bryce Courtney.

If I could be a superhero or have a superpower, I would like to have speed, like the Flash, so that I could do the things I don’t like (eg. house work) and spend more time doing the things I love (eg reading a book).

If I could go to any country in the world, at the moment I would like to visit Croatia as I have heard so many wonderful things about it.

My favourite funny quote from a student is recently when I was taking a class one of the child said “You’re a teacher? You’re kidding!”

An interesting fact everyone may not know me when I played competition cricket I was opening bat or first drop and played in silly mid-on or slips when fielding.
