Enrolment Scheme

CBHS —

CBHS invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their sons at CBHS for 2026. The school's enrolment scheme is detailed on the website www.cbhs.school.nz

YEAR 9 ENROLMENTS

IN ZONE ENROLMENTS

All students who live within the school zone are entitled to enrol.

An approximate map of the CBHS zone is here. The legal boundaries of the CBHS zone are described at this link.

To confirm proof of residence within this zone, the following are required:

  1. a copy of a recent Christchurch City Council rates demand or a tenancy agreement.

  2. a recent original copy of a power account, or such additional documentation as the Board of Trustees may require.

The student’s usual place of residence must be within the school zone continuously for a minimum of two years after enrolment.

To assist the School to determine how many enrolments can be offered to Year 9 applicants from out of zone, applications for in zone enrolments should reach the Headmaster by 4.00pm on Friday 25 July 2025.

OUT OF ZONE ENROLMENTS

Applications must reach the Headmaster by 4.00pm on Friday 25 July 2025 and will be processed in the following order of priority, according to places available:

  1. applicants who are brothers of current students

  2. applicants who are brothers of former students

  3. applicants who are sons of former students

  4. applicants whose parent is a member of or employed by the Board of Trustees

  5. all other applicants

If there are more applicants in these groups than there are places available, selection within each group will be by ballot conducted in accordance with Schedule 20, Clause 3(1) of the Education and Training Act (2020). The exact number of places offered as a result of this ballot will depend on the number of applications received from in zone applicants.

Applicants seeking priority status in any of the first three groups may be required to give proof of relationships and/or of their relations’ attendance at CBHS.

The ballot for out of zone places will be held on Wednesday 30 July 2025.

YEAR 10-13 ENROLMENTS

IN ZONE ENROLMENTS & OUT OF ZONE ENROLMENTS

The same rules for in and out of zone applications apply as for Year 9.

There may be some places available for out of zone applicants in Years 10-13. These will be notified on the school website in Term 4. Please contact enrolments@cbhs.nz in the first instance.


All enrolments for 2026 need to be completed and submitted using the eForm. This will be on the school website while Year 9 enrolments are open. Outside of that time, the link is available from enrolments@cbhs.nz .
