Year 8’s – Back up WCI Google Accounts before Monday 15th December

Once a student is no longer enrolled at WCI, their Google account is deactivated. The account and all work, emails, photos, etc., will be inaccessible. 

The school cannot assist you in retrieving data after deactivation, so please ensure students have backed up anything they want to keep prior to their last day with us.

Google Takeout is an effective option to extract everything in one go. This can take up to 24 hours, so do not leave it until the last minute.

This link has a video on how to do this.

Hot Day Coming!!

A couple of things about the hot day coming. Remember to:

  • Drink plenty of water during the day, (drink your water, don’t spray it around).

  • Wear your hats outside.

  • Take your jackets off so you don’t overheat.

  • No jackets in assembly today.

Thank you
