Hostel Manager
Kia ora,
I’m Karen Kidd, Hostel Manager for the girls at the new Centennial House boarding facility.
I have worked in boarding for the last 14 years and love working with teenage girls. Previous to joining the boarding environment, I worked as a Teacher Aide in both the UK and New Zealand.
I’m originally from Wales, and married Dean, who is a Kiwi, back in 1992.
We have two sons, Daniel and Ben, and a beautiful grand-daughter, Amelia.
I’m really looking forward to this unique opportunity where I will be caring for your daughter(s), watching them grow into independent young women ready for the big wide world.
Ngā mihi nui,
Karen Kidd, Hostel Manager for Centennial House
