Kristin Business Directory

About the Kristin Business Directory

One of the most meaningful aspects of being part of the Kristin community is our willingness to support one another, and that generosity of spirit extends to our business community as well. The Kristin Business Directory is a way to find and support local businesses and service providers that are owned or operated by current Kristin parents, alumni, and staff. We invite you to use the directory below to find businesses and service providers who understand what it means to be part of the Kristin community.

 

Please note that participating businesses in the Kristin Business Directory are not endorsed by the school. We reserve the right to decline or withdraw any business entry that does not align with the school’s values.

 

If you are interested in featuring your business, please contact our Advancement Manager, Analiese Jackson, at advancement@kristin.school.nz
