Knox Laptop Program

The Knox Senior School Laptop Program Acknowledgement Form is to be printed and signed by both the parent/guardian and the student and then brought to school with you at the time of collection of the laptop. Laptops will not be issued without a signed copy of this form. There are no exceptions.

Mandatory Data Collection

In preparation for the 2025 school year, we request that you log in to your Parent Lounge account, check your contact details, Student Background (MCEECDYA details), and enter or update medical details for your son. We ask that you do this prior to your son commencing in January 2025.

To access the Parent Lounge, you will need to have first set up your Knox account. You will have received an email from helpdesk@idmail.knox.nsw.edu.au with the subject line ‘Welcome to your Knox Grammar School Parent Account’ containing details about how to set up your account. Once your account is set up, you will be able to access the Parent Lounge by clicking the Parent Lounge link in your welcome email. Parent Lounge can also be accessed via Knoxi (the Knox portal) https://knoxi.au/ and selecting Parent Lounge from your dashboard.

Our Clinic staff will be reviewing all medical information entered. Should you wish to contact the Clinic staff, their email address is clinic@knox.nsw.edu.au.

If you are having trouble logging in, please contact the staff at the Knox IT Service Desk, who will be happy to assist you. The Service Desk can be reached at servicedesk@knox.nsw.edu.au or on (+61 2) 9473 9706.
