Instrumental in Kristin’s early success, Rob Hubbard served as a founding member of the Board of Governors and later as Kristin’s Vice Patron. Drawing on his experience from various public committees, Rob guided the formation of Kristin as a private school in accordance with the official Education Act. He also played a key role in identifying the land that would become Kristin’s Albany campus. As early as 1978, Rob predicted “One day Kristin will be a great school,” noting that the biggest challenge would be finding sufficient space for all the families eager to enrol. Fellow founding board member, Barry Stevens, reflected, “Without the help of Rob Hubbard, Kristin School could not have been where it is today.” Rob passed away in 1990, but his vision, wisdom and faith in Kristin are still remembered today.
