KASG NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
Published: Wed 21 May 2014

The Knox Academy Support Group (KASG) organises social/fundraising events for parents, staff and pupils. The money raised pays for equipment around the school that will enhance each pupil's education. For more information click here.

We have two upcoming events that we need your support with.

Duck Derby

The Duck Derby is at Ball Alley on Wednesday 4th June at approximately 7p.m. - after the raft race.

You can support us by sponsoring a duck for £1 and you could win £50 (1st prize), £25 (2nd prize) or £15 (3rd prize).

'Teas in the Park'

For the last few years we have organised a Festival Café at the Neilson Park Fun Day which, thanks to your support, has been a great success with the Community and in raising funds for the school.

We have been asked to organise catering at the Fun Day again this year and we will also be having a cake and candy stall. We will again need your support to make this venture a success.

If you can supply baking or give some time on the day – even one hour – please complete the form (click here) and return it to Mrs Ball, Knox Academy. Our busiest time is in the afternoon to serve refreshments and clear tables (2-4pm). If you can manage the tidying up slot of 4–5pm your help will be greatly appreciated!

BURNS' SUPPER 2014 - REVIEW
Published: Fri 24 Jan 2014

Pupils, parents and staff gathered at Knox Academy on Thursday 23 January 2014 to enjoy another sell-out Family Burns’ Supper.  Ably compered by Mr Swinney, (Communications Faculty Head), the evening saw contributions including traditional toasts and poems, highland dancing and futuristic animation (Tam O’Shanter in Lego), with wonderful musical interludes provided by pipers, choir and musicians.

The Address to the Haggis was delivered by Mr Illingworth (Depute Head Teacher).  Head Boy Mark Robertson’s Toast to the Lassies was most capably responded to by Head Girl Gemma Sandie, while a most thoughtful and entertaining Immortal Memory given by Head Teacher Mrs Ingham was very well received.

A great night was had by all.

This is a slightly modern representation of the Robert Burns poem, Tom O' Shanter.

We made this lego stop motion motion animation in about 12 hours with help from the outstanding Mr Halliday. Also big shout out to the Korean teachers that visited the school and saw our animation.방문해 주셔서 감사합니다!

Thank you to everyone involved.

We hope you enjoy!!!
