Titration Club launched in Term 2 with great success, attracting more than 40 Years 11-12 Chemistry students. Each week, students performed precise analytical titrations in preparation for the NSW National Titration Competition, held on Friday 13 June at the University of Technology Sydney.
In these hour-long weekly training sessions, students competed the lowest individual error score, indicating an accurate titration. The camaraderie and weekly anticipation over who performed best created a motivating environment, driving our teams to develop advanced skills in analytical chemistry.
Three Knox teams, each comprising of three students, travelled to UTS to compete alongside 100 other students from across Greater Sydney. Following the competition, participants heard from UTS PhD students, who shared valuable insights into careers in scientific research. The visit offered a glimpse into life at the university and the possibilities in the field.
Congratulations to Year 12 students Minghao, Frank and Stanley who earnt a ‘Certificate of Excellence’ with a score of 84, and to Percy who scored a near perfect individual score of 1.
Co-ordinator: Julian Hall (Science Teacher).
Trainers: Jon Blair (Lab Manager), Jason Lee (Lab Technician), Julian Hall (Science Teacher).

The 2025 Cricket Tour of the United Kingdom was an unforgettable experience. Our students travelled across the UK, with the 1st XI team playing in 11 competitive fixtures. We spoke with Year 10 student Sean about the tour; here are his reflections on the journey.

“Hello everyone. For those who don’t know me, my name is William. I’m a Year 12 student here at Knox – and I’m also a proud Trawlwoolway man from the northeast of Tasmania. This year’s NAIDOC Week is special. Not just because it’s a celebration, but because this year marks 50 years of NAIDOC. That’s 50 years of truth-telling. 50 years of strength. 50 years of celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s identity and resistance.”
