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. 

Once the device has been removed from our system it is likely that you will need to powerwash (factory reset) the device to remove the 'The device is managed by Sunnyhills' message.  These instructions explain how to powerwash a Chromebook.  

The device will need to be connected to wifi in order to complete the powerwash process and remove the 'managed by Sunnyhills' message.

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.

This document is updated in term 4 each year with the correct dates for that year.
