Providing a dual qualification pathway, Kristin offers both the National Curriculum and the International Baccalaureate Programme throughout all year levels. Senior School students can choose between completing their NCEA levels in Years 12 and 13, or the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
Due to the limited number of places available, interested parents are encouraged to contact the school for further information. Applications for the Scholarship Programme close at 2pm on Thursday 7 June 2012. Interviews will take place the following week and places will be confirmed by late June 2012.

Kristin School supports the government initiative called Aspire Scholarships. An Aspire Scholarship provides assistance for a low income family towards the costs of Private or Independent Secondary schooling. It will contribute up to $15,000 per year towards the fees of a Private or Independent school for the duration of a student's attendance at this school. It will also include a yearly allowance of up to $1,500 to cover course related costs.
A student is eligible for a 2013 Aspire Scholarship if:
- they will be in Year 9 in 2013
- their primary caregiver(s) have a joint annual gross income of $56,000 or less (not including Working for Families tax credits)
- their primary caregiver(s) have a combined net worth of $200,000 or less (not including household items)
- they, or their primary caregiver(s), are not beneficiaries of any trusts (exceptions will be made on a case by case basis)
- they are a New Zealand citizen or a permanent resident of New Zealand
- an application is received in hard copy at the Ministry of Education National Office by 5pm on Friday 11 May 2012.
We believe that Kristin is an ideal environment to welcome students from all backgrounds and we encourage interested families to view the Ministry of Education website for more information.
Other than fees, scholarships and awards at Kristin cover the full range of academic, extra-curricular and school-leaver scholarships for tertiary study. Some are available exclusively to Kristin students; others are available through partnerships for selected New Zealand schools including Kristin and many others are generally contestable.
