Discord Incident In September 2022, 150 students (majorly Year 9 Knox students, with some girls and boys from other schools being involved) were found to have been participating in a Discord chatroom titled 'Gang Gang' in which multiple racist, anti-semitic, misogynistic, homophobic, extreme anti-abortion messages and more had been sent. It was confirmed that no child abuse material was sent on the server. It was found that the chat was active for about two years, with the school becoming aware of it in August 2022 (in which it was discussed with parents, and where student withdrawals from the chat first began). Material from the group chat was provided to the NSW Police Force, and Knox's principle Scott James responded to the incident in a letter to parents, labelling the messages by students "unacceptable" and "contrary to the values and culture of Knox". The letter confirmed that students involved were either suspended or left the school, punishment decided on how much the student participated in the chat. Twenty students in the chatroom met Knox's requirements for disciplinary action.
