Celebration of Excellence - Years 7 to 11

Our Celebration of Excellence ceremonies will be held on Wednesday 4 December. The evening will recognise student achievement throughout the year.  Students who are receiving an award at this event will receive an email to advise them.  The email will be sent to parents/carers and to their school email address.

 

The Celebration of Excellence will be held in McGrath Hall as follows:

  • Years 7-9 at 6.00pm
  • Years 10-11 at 7.30pm

Year 10-12 2025 students - exciting opportunity!

Chevalier College is pleased to partner with HEX (Innovating Education) in the facilitation of an award-winning short course program for students in Years 10-12 (2025). HEX is offering a six-week course that aims to help close the digital skills gap by providing high school students with Sydney University academic credit as they upskill in innovation and entrepreneurship.

 

The HEX High Accelerator Program will be supervised by Jo Kirby, Assistant Principal - New Ambitions and Innovation, from 11 February to 21 March 2025 on Tuesday, Wednesday and/or Thursday afternoons, and between 5:30pm – 6:30pm (with some flexibility, if needed).

 

There are six, compulsory submissions over the six-week period and successful completion will see each student awarded with an academic transcript from Sydney University. Such a transcript provides full subject credit for universities around Australia (and internationally) where the course has an elective. Essentially, this is a global credit passport without the HECS.

 

Students enjoy access to industry mentors who help to bring entrepreneurial vision to life, whilst concomitantly developing the mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets to develop their own business ideas. You will find the HEX brochure for students and parents HERE.

 

Enrolments are open and expressions of interest (‘EOI’) are to be forwarded to Jo Kirby at kirbyj@chevalier.nsw.edu.auby 10 December 2024.  Please note that an enrolment fee of $990 per student is payable by families, and documentation for enrolment will be forwarded once your EOI has been received.
