an open, agile learning environment that trades rows of desks for movable, modular space more akin to a co-working studio than a classroom. In classic Knox fashion, students weren’t just consulted—they co-designed it. Partnering with modular builder Harwyn Pods, student teams shaped sustainability features, interior layout, furnishings, and the external look-and-feel. The students were provided an opportunity to visit the factory, review prototypes, and inform procurement.The result is a learning space learners feel ownership over, because they helped create it— and a facility purpose-built for Knoxpeditions, startup sprints, and community showcases. An official opening is slated for the end of Term 4, with students leading the ceremony. PROFESSIONAL LEARNING BUILT INTO THE WEEK Great learning requires great teachers. Every Tuesday afternoon, Knox students finish early while staff engage in dedicated professional learning— incubator time for cross-school collaboration, pilot projects, and pedagogical R&D. It’s a structural acknowledgement that educators are the school’s greatest asset—and that innovation needs calendar time, not just aspiration. The faculty currently numbers 140 staff across Early Learning to Year 12, with specialists who also collaborate across sub-schools to keep the whole Knox journey coherent. 64 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 11
