Facilities and Campus
Giving Hearts and Minds the space to grow.
Chevalier College is located in the beautiful Southern Highlands region of New South Wales. Our extensive school campus is situated on 100 acres, in Burradoo. With sprawling playing fields, our onsite farm and state of the art facilities, the sheer size and beauty of our campus truly sets us apart from other schools. You can view our campus map here.
The College is well-equipped with excellent facilities that support the growth and wellbeing of our students, including:
The Sacre Coeur Performing Arts Centre
Our Performing Arts Centre was extended and renovated in 2018. The performance theatre gained spacious backstage areas, a sizable green room and rehearsal spaces; new change rooms, accessible amenities, and an impressive new foyer. Individual and communal practice rooms and dedicated dance and drama studios also form part of the centre. Considerable investment was made in the acoustics of the performance and rehearsal spaces and many local and overseas artists hire these facilities for concert performances and lectures.
The John Fahey Education and Sport Centre
Our John Fahey Education and Sport Centre was constructed in 2018. It is a great new asset for our PDHPE department, sporting and school events. Retractable tiered seating is a welcome feature for our awards ceremonies, celebration days and large community gatherings.

Our on site working farm is home to cattle, sheep, alpaca and chickens, as well as a bountiful vegetable garden, and the Show Team is responsible for caring for and then presenting the animals at agricultural shows, frequently bringing home multiple awards for the college from local events and further afield such as the Royal Easter Show.
