| Established in 1924, Knox is
one of Australias leading Uniting Church day and Boarding schools for boys
with a reputation for academic excellence. Situated in Wahroonga, 25klm from Sydney,
Knox has close bus, rail and motorway links to the city and country. Knox offers
a broad range of subjects including enrichment and acceleration studies which
seek to challenge and excite learning. We are renowned for our all-round education
to develop the whole boy, where innovation is successfully incorporated
with tradition. Knox is home to 107 boarders who take part in the community
experience of living with students drawn from the city, country and overseas.
Our Boarding houses are under the guidance of married Housemasters and Boarders
enjoy a nurturing, home-like environment where each boy becomes an integral part
of a close-knit family community. Friendships are easily forged as Year groups
are housed together. Years 7-10 boarders are accommodated in dormitory-style rooms
and Years 11-12 boarders have separate accommodation in individual units/rooms.

| Boarders enjoy continual use of our extensive
facilities which includes a refurbished sports centre incorporating a gymnasium,
squash courts, weights room and swimming and diving pools.
Our function
centre which overlooks the resurfaced Knox 1 rugby oval includes a state-of-the-art
Boarders' canteen. Most Boarders believe that Knox has given them opportunities
they could only have dreamed of.

performed extremely well again with an average UAI of 85.5 and a top score of
98.25. You are invited to visit Knox, inspect our facilities and see
