What do I do if I am transferring to another School

- You should ask the school if they run a netbook program and if they will re-image your PC to their network standards.

- If you are moving interstate, please bring your PC to the ICT office for a factory restore re-image.

What do I do if I am finishing School

- Please bring your netbook to the ICT office for a re-image before you leave.

Re-Imaging - Is the process of wiping the PC clean and reinstalling a predetermined set of software and settings.  All data will be lost, please keep regular backups. Reimaging is necessary as any licensed software on the device is owned by the Department of Education and will cease to work outside the school network.
