Portal Help
Cedar College has a number of connection points, referred to as a “portal”, which enable the school community to access important information. The way in which the portals are used may differ between year levels and school departments.
Students have access to the Student Canvas Portal, which enables them to do tasks online such as access homework materials, upload assignments, review classroom work and contact teachers.
Parents/Caregivers have access to the Parent Canvas Portal, allowing them to view a range of information including student tasks, requirements and due dates. As well as this, Parents/Caregivers also have access to a separate Portal (known as our “Community Portal“) in order to book Learning Conversations and Subject Selection Interviews, during scheduled interview evenings.
All of these Portals can be accessed via the “Cedar Portals” drop-down menu on the front page of our website, or by using the links below.
