50 Years of Progress with Vision, Integrity and Love

KRISTIN HERITAGE

50 Years of Progress with Vision, Integrity and Love.

the 23 26 TO

MAR 2023

With less than a year to go until Kristin celebrates its 50th Jubilee in March 2023, preparations are well underway. Kristin’s pioneering history is unique, and our 50-year milestone is one that is well worth celebrating. We can’t wait for our whole community to come together to mark this special occasion.

Kristin’s 50th will be marked by a programme of celebratory events that will blend the past with the present. Our Alumni Cocktails evening on 23 March will launch the celebrations as we welcome our Alumni back onto campus to mix and mingle and reconnect with their peers.

There will be something for everyone over our extended weekend of celebrations – whether it is attending the Grandparents’ Lunch or our Chapel Service, spending quality time with family and friends at the Summer Carnival or watching our top sports teams challenge Kristin’s Alumni across a number of sports.

We look forward to you attending our Gala Dinner or maybe it’s our Performing Arts evening, which will showcase the best of Kristin, past and present, that piques your interest. Bringing our Kristin Community together, the 50th celebrations will be a catalyst for the rekindling of old friendships and the making of new ones. We look forward to welcoming you on campus.

Kristin’s remarkable 50-year history is being charted in a commemorative book, written by author Debra Millar. The book will be a landmark piece, chronicling Kristin’s unique story from its foundation by a small team of enthusiastic parents and hard-working staff, and its growth into the inspiring place we know and love today. Available early 2023, with a limited print-run, visit our Kristin 50th website to register to secure a copy for you and your family.

Our Alumni Department is working to ensure that our database records support us to reach our entire community, to give them the opportunity to be part of our celebrations. Alumni Database Administrator Zena Foyster is our very own Sherlock Holmes, tracking down ‘lost’ Alumni to reconnect them with Kristin. To help us update our records, if you’re a past student or staff member, please complete our ‘Keep in Touch’ form so that we have the correct contact details to help ensure you’re part of the Jubilee celebrations in March. www.kristin.school.nz/ keepintouch.

Kristin’s archivist Rachel Bell is also busily preparing our fascinating rich archival material for the 50th. Our archives are a treasure trove of memories that our community will love to see, and Rachel is working to bring these to life for everyone to enjoy – both online and as part of the archival displays that will support our celebrations in March 2023.

Like any major event, Kristin School is seeking partners to support the success of our 50th. We would like to encourage you and your business to take advantage of the enticing sponsorship opportunities on offer. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Tash Bartlett at tbartlett@kristin. school.nz. By partnering with us, together we can make this a wonderful celebration that our community will talk about for the next 50 years!
