Photograph proofs from the photography session on Tuesday 10 September 2024 have now been issued to registration teachers.  These should have already made their way home, or will do so before the end of today (Thursday 12 September 2024).

One small class of S3s unfortunately did not have photographs taken for logistical reasons on the day - these students will be given the opportunity on Tuesday 5 November 2024 alongside those who were absent from school on the day.

If you have any questions please contact Mr Dempster via the School Office.

We look forward to welcoming Tempest Photography to Knox Academy on Tuesday 10 September 2024 to take individual photographs for S1 and S3 pupils. 

We will also try and offer the opportunity to students who have recently enrolled at Knox Academy to have their photo taken.

A schedule will follow for exact timings, and teachers will release from class as appropriate. Everybody should return to class promptly after their photograph has been taken.

As usual, all students are expected to attend in full dress code including shirt/tie.

Parents/Carers will be given the option to purchase photographs and a range of gifts from Tempest afterwards.
