Five Knox students have topped the state – congratulations to Jonathan Chen (Economics), William Firth (Legal Studies), Francis Kwon (Music 2), Alex Qin (Investigating Science) and Michael Shen (Music Extension) for topping the state across five HSC subjects.
This remarkable accomplishment is a testament to their exceptional dedication, focus, hard work, and a genuine passion for their subjects.
Nearly 140 students from 83 schools gathered at the Sir John Clancy Auditorium, University of New South Wales on Tuesday 17 December where they were recognised for finishing first in NSW in their subject with a certificate from Deputy Premier, the Hon. Prue Car, MP.
“I would like to acknowledge the outstanding teachers who have supported and guided these students throughout their HSC journey. Their expertise, experience and mentorship have been essential in helping these young men reach their potential. This achievement also highlights the exceptional quality of teaching at Knox, the ongoing focus on professional development, and the strong, collaborative relationship between students and teachers that fosters a deep passion for learning,” said Headmaster Scott James.
A huge congratulations to Jonathan, William, Francis, Alex and Michael – an inspiring accomplishment!
