Q and A with St Francis De Sales Primary School music teacher Kristy Galea

Tell us a fun fact about yourself!

I’m a Music teacher who loves baking loaded cookies, riding my bicycle and going on walks.

What do you love about what you do?

The thing I love most about being a Music teacher is that I get to work with children (prep to Grade 6) who are constantly enthusiastic and have absolutely no apprehension to say what they feel. They love having a laugh and they bring me so much joy!

Who is the best person you’ve worked with?

The best people I work with are the crew at St. Francis de Sales Primary School, Lynbrook (better stay safe with this question!!!). A shout out to Imasha and Rosie in LS1 – they’re great to work with and always love banter and to have a good laugh.

What would your last meal be?

The last meal I would have would be a Banh Mi with extra sauce from Tabac in Springvale, topped off with a Raspberry Panna Cotta (keep it classy).

What is your most memorable moment?

My most memorable YEAR would be 2015. I travelled to over 35 countries with no plans or a functioning phone. I travelled wherever and whenever I wanted to go. Not a care in the world! I was able to experience and learn a lot during my travels.

What event past or present would you like to witness?

I would’ve loved to have witnessed Freddie Mercury and QUEEN perform at the Live Aid Concert in 1985.

Which three guests, dead or alive, would you invite to dinner?

Three guests, dead or alive, I would invite to dinner include Bradley Cooper, Leonardo Di Caprio and Brad Pitt.

What are you currently listening to, watching or reading?

I’m currently listening to 90s classics on the drive to work – from Britney to The Vengaboys. I don’t tend to watch much TV, but when I do, it’s a fantastic episode of Home and Away.

If you had to compete on MasterChef, what dish would you cook?

If I had to compete on MasterChef, I’d bake one of my glamorous Nutella loaded cookies!

Where is your dream holiday destination?

Vietnam and Malta have been my favourite holiday destinations thus far, but I would love to travel to Scandinavia. Antarctica would be pretty cool too (pun

intended).

What were you like as a kid?

As a child, I was a complete ratbag and a comedian. Not much has changed since!

What was your first job?

My first job was teaching piano in my studio at home. I continued this for many years until I found the position I currently have as Music Teacher at St. Francis de Sales Primary School, Lynbrook (8 years later!)

What are the three most used apps on your phone?

The three most used apps on my phone include Gmail, Messages and Safari.

What’s one question that you have always wanted answered?

A question that I’ve always wanted answered is are there more than the five senses that we are able to access? If so, what are they?
