Our Gal: Amy Shine

April 27, 2017 by Maggi Barnard


How long have you lived in Forbes and what do you like about living here?
I moved back to Forbes seven years ago. I am loving being closer to my family and the sense of community!

Where do you work and what do you enjoy most about your work?
I am the Director of the Forbes Preschool. We have been in the new Preschool for exactly one year! Seeing the new Preschool come to fruition was by far one of the most exciting projects I have been part of. And I must say the people I work with every day and their willingness to change and make the Preschool the best place possible makes it all the more enjoyable. It is such a happy and fun place to be!

What do you do to unwind after work and on weekends?
I do love to get out and about and socialise, to be part of the community. On a quieter weekend a walk around the lake, some gardening and a movie is great.

What are you really good at?
I don’t know! Teaching kids through play, having fun and promoting a positive workplace.

If you could have a super power, what would it be?
I had to think about this – there are so many! But if I could only have one it would be to teleport, no more long travelling.

What is your pet hate? Negativity.

Tell us about your best holiday ever.
I love every holiday, especially a beach holiday – watching the kids catch waves is always a highlight! Most recently we went to Nelson’s Bay where we all had lots of fun paddle boarding, swimming, eating and drinking the days away.
