Specialist Teachers

Kate Lloyd

I am delighted to be working with the enthusiastic and talented team here at Take Kārara. 

I have been lucky enough to call Wanaka home since I was born. I grew up on a farm up the Cardrona Valley and now live in Albert Town with my husband Graeme.
We have two daughters who have flown the coop and are out living their best lives!

I have been involved in education all of my working life.This has involved classroom practice, management roles and, after co-writing two literacy programmes, implementing these in many different schools in the South Island.

In 2011 our family moved to the beautiful country of Vanuatu. This was meant to be a one year experience, but ended up being a seven year adventure. I worked at Port Vila International School as the Deputy Principal, in between exploring the country and helping out the local people.

I returned in 2017 and taught at Holy Family School until the end of 2022.
As a teacher, I am committed to helping all students become literate, numeric, self managing, lifelong learners and endeavour to support all my students on this journey.

This year I am indulging in my passion by specialising in teaching students in a 1-1 setting who have identified learning differences. Building positive relationships and tailoring a programme to best meet their needs is paramount to successful outcomes.

I am looking forward to supporting students at Take Kārara.
