HWB

Using Hwb is the same as accessing Google and Microsoft applications elsewhere apart from you need to login on the hwb page first. 

To login first a foremost you goto https://www.hwb.gov.wales and click on Log In at the top Right of the page. 

Once logged in click on the Menu Block and then you will see all of the applications including a quick link to your E-mail (Outlook) G-Suite for education and all of the Office 365 Apps. 

Your username will be a random generated account ending at hwbcymru.net. All staff should now have theirs but if not please speak to us or log a call via the ICT Helpdesk and we can pass this onto you.

**Please note ** your password is different to your network login, and does NOT synchronise with the network as in previous years.

Logging into a Chromebook with your Hwb Account

When using a school Chromebook from September you will have to use your Hwb login ending with @hwbcymru.net and not the @cardiffhigh.co.uk as before.

Using Hwb Email / Office365 / Outlook

When using your new email account you will notice that emails from @cardiffhigh.cardiff.sch.uk and @cardiffhigh.co.uk are forwarded into your hwb mailbox so you dont miss anything important, Due to time constraints we have not moved all of your existing emails to hwb. If you wish to move your existing email please follow the " Email Migration" Document 

Mailing / Distribution lists / Groups

Within Hwb sadly we can no longer create Distribution lists on your behalf and you will need to create this yourself.
