In keeping with the philosophy of ‘innovation wrapped in tradition’, we are delighted to announce that the Knox Grammar School Cadet Unit will be renamed the Knox Ravenswood Cadet Unit.
The School wishes to acknowledge and formalise the deep and lasting partnership between Knox and Ravenswood School for Girls. In Term 4 2011, Ravenswood students joined the Knox Grammar School Cadet Unit, which has become the largest Cadet Unit in Australia.
The Cadet program is a central tenet of both schools’ education, which offers students a wonderful and authentic co-educational experience.
Respecting the traditions of the Cadet Unit is of utmost importance to the schools and as such, there will be some minor changes to the insignia, uniform and event schedule. That said, considering the name change, it is protocol to update the current Colours and insignia.
Both schools’ names and mottos will be incorporated into the Unit’s Colours and likewise with the logo and badge, while colours from both schools, Knox blue, Knox black and Ravenswood yellow, will appear on the Unit patch. The new design is based on the original badge and current Colours, which were designed in 1994 by Cadet Officer John Gibson and Commanding Officer David McKeith.
The Knox Cadet Ceremonial Uniform (Knox MacPherson tartan, Balmoral, St Andrew’s Cross and thistle) will be retained. Further, the Anzac Memorial Service for the Old Knox Grammarians’ Association (OKGA) and the OKGA Honouring Service will remain unchanged.
The Presentation of Colours to the Knox Ravenswood Cadet Unit and Investiture of Senior Rank of the Knox Ravenswood Cadet Unit will take place on Friday 25 October 2024 at Knox Grammar School. Everyone is welcome to attend this ceremony which will commence at 3.40pm on Knox 1 Oval.
We look forward to a long and successful partnership for our students and staff as we officially move to the Knox Ravenswood Cadet Unit.
Please see the new designs for the logo and crest below.
