Jim & Ann Holdaway
Description
DescriptionKristin Founders
Although never Kristin parents, a daughter of theirs had attended St Anne's School, and in later years they had grandchildren at Kristin.
They were among the school’s earliest supporters. Jim, a former Mayor of Northcote, served as a founding representative on the Board of Governors, bringing with him the wealth of experience he had gained as a founder of the Auckland Regional Authority. His knowledge of regional planning proved invaluable and was instrumental in helping Kristin secure the land that would become its Albany campus.
Together, Jim and Ann frequently opened their Northcote home to the Kristin community, hosting many of its initial school meetings as well as two highly successful fundraising garden parties. Jim passed away in 2012 and Ann in 2017, and their generosity and commitment remain an essential part of Kristin’s story.
