Author Evening with Ralph Jackman (OKG85)
Tuesday, 16 June 2026

We were pleased to host the Sydney launch of Detention, a new memoir by Ralph Jackman (OKG85) on Monday 15 June. The event opened with an introduction from Headmaster Scott James, highlighting the connection between the event and the School's Knox Reads initiative. Ralph shared his journey from sports journalist to teaching teens on remand in conversation with Malcolm Knox (OKG84). More than seventy members of the Knox Community, including Old Boys, teachers, parents and their guests enjoyed the banter between two long-time friends, and a moving conversation about the power of education to transform lives.
