Our curriculum guide below:

The heart of CBHS curriculum lies at the intersection of our academic, sporting and cultural programmes that promote the personal, moral and intellectual growth of every boy.

At CBHS, we want to prepare our students for the world in which they will live, learn and work in.

As part of being a fine young man we expect the boys to make a determined and genuine effort towards their studies, regardless of their ability.

The basis of the School’s pastoral care system is the Kaitiaki who works as part of a team with the form level Dean.

Our robust sport culture not only nurtures physical health but also fosters mental agility. Our sport programme is intricately woven into our holistic educational ethos. Every student is encouraged to explore their athletic potential alongside their academic pursuits.

The school actively promotes the participation of boys in cultural activities and expects a high level of involvement and performance.

We appreciate the support of our school families in paying the School donation.

Adams House is the Boarding facility for CBHS. The hostel is situated just five minutes walk from the School. The grounds are extensive and include modern amenities for our boarders.

Schools succeed because of their culture regardless of whether they are single sex or co-educational

Modern, traditional classrooms that are purposeful and inspire students.
