Photograph proofs have been delivered to registration classes.
All S1, S3 and S6 students who were present on Monday 2 November 2026 should be bringing proofs home over the next couple of days (everybody has at least 2 proofs - one closeup and one further away).
S6 who signed up for family photos, or have still to collect their proofs should visit Mr Dempster at an appropriate time.
From NEXT MONDAY (16 November 2026) the library will be used for full periods for S1 and S2 classes. Please find attached the timetable for class visit times. There will also be additional S3 classes using the space once a term.
This means that study spaces in the library will be limited and we will be asking for SILENT study only during these periods. The timetable will be posted on the library door and around the library for you to see. Apologies for any issues this might cause.

Queen Margaret University – Digital Design and Graphics KNOX ACADEMY Partnership SHOWCASE Exhibition
10am – 2pm Saturday the 7th of Nov.
The Senior Graphics class has visited QMU and attended a workshop in the Digital Design and Graphics Degree course studio, which had not been used by QMU students, we were the first to use it !
The degree is now fully running in the University and our trip was to be AMBITIOUS and show that KNOX pupils may attend such a course in the future. If they don’t achieve the Highers required for entry, an alternative route is an HNC at college then join the degree.
The workshop KNOX pupils attended before the October break, was a taser session on what the Digital Design and Graphics degree learning would be like in the first few weeks.
The Lecturers then set a design brief – an LP Record Album Sleeve – which learners are working on now. The KNOX learners finished designs will be on display at the upcoming QMU Open Day. The exhibition will be open to the general public, please attend and admire the KNOX pupils creative skills !
10am – 2pm Saturday the 7th of Nov.
