New Parents Dinner / Foundation Day 2021

New Parents’ Dinner

We were delighted to welcome our newest parents into the Kristin Community at the New Parents’ Dinner in early April.

This is a memorable evening which enables new parents to mix and mingle with other parents who have students in the same year level, and to also meet a number of staff, Kristin Family and Friends representatives and members of the Board who attend.

Hosted by Executive Principal Mark Wilson, our guests were treated to a stunning singing performance by Head Prefect Evy Hwangbo, accompanied by Mr Nick Duirs, Head of Faculty Visual and Performing Arts, on the guitar, James Whineray-Kelly (Year 11) on percussion and Will Parton (Year 13) on the guitar, as well as hear from our Head Prefects about their experiences of Kristin. Our Board Chair, Mr Gus Gilmore, closed the evening.

New friends were made over great food. Thank you to all those who attended, and welcome to the Kristin Community.

Foundation Day 2021

On Friday 19 March, Kristin celebrated our Foundation Day, honouring the stories of our beginnings; recognising the vision, leadership and commitment of Kristin’s founders to create and build the school we love and appreciate today.

Kristin’s founding story is unique – a school created by families, for families, in 1973 by a group of pioneering North Shore parents, guided by the Christian values that are still at the heart of our school today: progress, vision, integrity and love.

At the Foundation Day assembly, two of our youngest Kindergarten students, Savannah Teitge and Sutton Pollard, together with Head Prefects Evy Hwangbo and Tim Gunn, lit a candle symbolising the light of those values, with us from the very beginning.

As a relatively young school (48 years old), Kristin’s founders and key historical figures are still very much a part of our present-day community and many attended our Foundation Day assembly as special guests.
