Mr Buggy wrote and composed the School song, which has become part of the Knox tradition for generations of boys. He also wrote the settings for the Prayer of Preparation and Prayer of Confession.
In 1998, Mr Buggy was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for services to music, particularly in the areas of theatre and youth Orchestras.
He was also the conductor of the Sydney Youth Orchestra Philharmonic from 2007, and was named Conductor Emeritus in 2021.
Vale Brian Buggy OAM.
