We have recently reviewed the Weekly Note Criteria Revised May 2021 and have updated the descriptors. Some of the changes are to remove criteria that no longer apply (such as reference to the School’s Homework Diary which no longer exists). Some of the other changes are to create more consistency of language and progression between grade levels. Despite these changes, there should be no radical changes to the grades that are awarded as the spirit and intent of each grade level has remained the same as the original version. The students have all received an electronic copy of the updated grade descriptors and have had the opportunity to discuss these in Kaitiaki. These changes will take effect as from the Weekly Note at the end of this week (ending Friday 28th May 2021) .

Parent Portal
In the CBHS Parent Portal, your username is now the same as your email address. This change means that there is no longer any need to share a password between parents/caregivers.
Your password remains unchanged; if you know your password, can now log in using your email address for the username. If this is your first time accessing the portal, or you don’t know your password, or your password isn’t working, please follow the ‘Forgot Password?’ steps outlined in the Portal guide. Please enter your email address as the username when prompted.
Once you’ve logged in, you can change your password using the blue padlock icon in the top-right corner.
Please refer to the Portal guide below for additional information.
