The show, which featured 14 diverse and stunning acts and more than 800 performers, was held in the arena of Quaycentre on Saturday 1 June, many months of planning, composing and rehearsing came to life for the audience of thousands of Knox community members.
“It was a fitting way to celebrate Knox's 100 years, showcasing the unique spirit and rich tapestry of our school's traditions,” says Headmaster Scott James.
“The Knox Centenary Tattoo was not just an event; it was a celebration of our past, present, and future. It highlighted the traditions that have shaped us and the community that supports us.”
Mr James says it was gratifying to see the involvement of staff, Old Boys and parents both past and present, as well as the current students.
“Their participation underscored the strong bonds and enduring connections that define our community.”
