knox grammar school

The Fitzhardinge Gate was opened on 13 June 1933 and Colin Fitzhardinge (OKG31), Brian’s brother, was the first Knox boy to step through it. The gate was transformed with landscaping and building of a guttered roadway during the 1960s. In 2016 the Fitzhardinge Gate was restored and mounted on the wall of the Weeks Senior Academy building and a stencil was carved into the concrete of the site of its original location.

For almost 90 years it has been the tradition of Knox boys to raise their boater as they walk through the gates of the School in remembrance.
