The Heart of Education is the Education of the Heart

The caring community of Chevalier College holds the belief that 'the heart of education is the education of the heart.' Established in 1946, 'Chev' has a proud history and a wonderful legacy from more than 12,000 past students.

Charism

In the heart-centred spirit of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, Chevalier College enjoys a full and vibrant spiritual life and strong sense of community. The College is well regarded for the extent and effectiveness of its pastoral care network, where the long-term happiness of each student is paramount.

Curriculum

Chevalier College boasts excellent grounds and teaching facilities, providing wide-ranging subject choices to challenge and develop every student. Subjects for Years 7 to 10 number 24, broadening to more than 45 core and elective subjects in Years 11 and 12. Whilst students experience the diversity of curricular offerings of a large school, the College has the calm, welcoming family feeling of a smaller school.

Co-curricular Activities and Opportunities

Sporting, music, performing and visual arts, academic, agriculture and leadership activities offer a myriad of experiences for students to express themselves at Chevalier College.

Sports include cricket, rugby, soccer, hockey, softball, netball, basketball and tennis. Other popular programs at Chev include Mountain Biking, Wilderness Studies, Dance and Cadets.

Through History, Sports, Languages and via a number of social justice and cultural experiences, students are invited on trips and expeditions to various nations across the globe.

The annual musical or drama production and concert series are highlights of the school calendar.

Special Features

With high speed wireless internet connection to AARNet (Australian Academic and Research Network), Chevalier College has access to authors, museums and educational institutions from all over the world without leaving the classroom. Contemporary interactive white boards and computers are used throughout the College, providing students and staff enormous traction in the vital quest for digital literacy. Our Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses in Hospitality, Technology, Construction, Engineering and Agriculture are delivered in specialist facilities, including state-of-the-art commercial and domestic kitchens and a fully equipped and maintained on-site farm.
