Current and past students and staff
A group of students from Chevalier College have created the webpage http://chev.tk in 2006 in order to promote continued peer relationships and provide a network through which to find old Chevalier friends. This group, Chevalier College Students and Friends, also aims to provide Year Ten, Eleven and Twelve Chevalier students with discussion sessions about the workforce after school, TAFE and tertiary studies through citing personal experiences from members of the group. There is also a Forum for those members interested in meeting other Chevalier Students and discussing important issues in, outside and beyond Chevalier.
