History

The Knox School, known as Knoxfield College until 1996, was founded in February 1982, to provide a distinctive educational opportunity for those living in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs. From the very beginning the School has been co-educational and secular. Bialik College once occupied the site in Wantirna South.

The Board appointed Mrs Dulcie Flinn, formally of Presbyterian Ladies College as the first Principal. The school caters for students from Early Learning to senior years. In 1987, the first Year Twelve class was conducted at the School.
