Leaving Sunnyhills Procedures for Devices and Google Workspace Accounts

What happens if my child leaves the school?

Please contact the office via email as soon as possible to inform them about your child leaving.  You will also need to fill in this form so that we can ensure your child's device is removed from our system and you're able to use the device at their new school / at home without any of our Sunnyhills restrictions.  Please note that year 6 students who finish the year at Sunnyhills do not need to fill in this form.  All year 6 BYODs will go through the leaving process. 

At the end of year 6 all students will have the opportunity to download creations they have made and wish to keep.  The process and timeline for doing this is listed below.
