Description
DescriptionThe Roy Munn Gym
Officially opened on 15 October 1999 by the Hon Murray McCully, the Roy Munn Gymnasium was an essential addition to Kristin’s sporting facilities. Equipped for a range of indoor activities including basketball, badminton, volleyball and netball, the Roy Munn Gymnasium was built to complement the existing Gymnasium and constructed specifically for use by Kristin’s Junior and Middle School students.
Named after founding Kristin Principal Roy Munn (who served from 1973 to 1978), the gymnasium honours his significant contribution to Kristin’s formative years and is a reminder of his continuing influence on Kristin as an innovative and progressive school. Known as a keen sportsman, Munn recognised the importance of developing sports skills from an early age. Acknowledging the significance of sport for personal development, Munn encouraged Kristin students to be physically active by providing a positive, inclusive sporting environment.
By providing access to indoor sports education, the Roy Munn Gymnasium provides an inclusive space where Kristin students of all abilities are empowered to be physically active.
