YEAR 12 RETURN OF MACBOOKS
You have two choices in returning your Macbook to the school:
o Firstly, you can choose to return your Macbook during Week 6 (starting Monday 25 August) If this is your choice then prepare your MacBook for return by Friday 22 August and return the following week starting Monday 25 August 2014. Return MacBooks to ICT Services (E Block) before school, recess, lunch or after school. NO RETURNS DURING CLASS TIME UNLESS YOU HAVE WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM YOUR TEACHER.
o Secondly, you can choose to sign and return the attached ‘Guarantee to Return the Macbook’ form during Week 6.
You must initiate one of these options by the end of Week 6 in order to be able to buy tickets to the Year 12 Dinner Dance.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE RETURNING THE MACBOOK
· Backup any personal data on the MacBook to an external storage device – USB Drive, external hard disk drive, your school network Home drive or use the DVD burner in the Mac.
· Returned MacBooks will be re-imaged and prepared for students in 2015. Re-imaging formats the MacBook’s hard drive and all data will be permanently erased – so backup!!
· Make sure the MacBook is clean
· Remove any DVDs or other devices belonging to you which are in or attached to the MacBook
· Check the MacBook for damage or faults – cracked hinges, screen, case etc – place a note listing all damage/faults with the Mac when you return it.
WHAT TO DO WEEK 6 (COMMENCING 25 AUGUST)
· Hand in the MacBook and the AC charger. The carry bag is your property – so keep it. OR
· Hand in the ‘Guarantee to Return the Macbook’ by the end of Week 6 (Friday 29th August 2014)
IF I DON’T RETURN THE MACBOOK IN WEEK 6 OR, BY AGREEMENT, BY WEDNESDAY 24 SEPTEMBER?
· You will not be permitted to attend the Year 12 Dinner Dance which may involve forfeit of the ticket price (see overleaf)
· The MacBook is school property and owned by the Education Department of WA, so appropriate action may be taken to recover the MacBook or reimbursement if the MacBook is lost or stolen.
· Software on the MacBook is owned by Microsoft, Adobe and Apple - licenses to use the software are owned by the school, not the student. If the MacBook is not returned after the departure of the student, software on the MacBook is deemed to be unauthorised and use thereafter is illegal.
The school has recorded the necessary ID details of all MacBooks to allow any third party to identify and locate the MacBook or user of the MacBook and take action for unauthorised and illegal use of software.
· In addition, failure to return the Macbook by the set date will mean that all costs incurred in collection will be borne by you.
· If you have concerns or need to discuss anything about the return of the MacBooks, please see Mr Contos in ICT Services.
