Student-led initiatives at Knox to raise awareness for White Ribbon have culminated with 600 Year 10 and 11 boys and staff coming together to form a giant White Ribbon on the school oval.
Throughout the year, a group of students, called the ‘Champions of Change’, has been driving this campaign to stop violence against women.
“In our local area, in the beautiful Hornsby Ku-ring-gai local area, almost 100 women each month flee their homes because of violence,” the Headmaster John Weeks told more than 1,800 boys at a special White Ribbon Assembly on Thursday.
“In Australia, on average, each week one women will die because of domestic violence. Those women die because of men. This is a reality and this needs to stop. If we are going to change it, it starts with you and it starts with me changing,” said Mr Weeks.

“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.”
