What happens if my family is moving to a new area away from the school?

It is important to tell the school that your child is leaving and will not be returning.  You should ask the principal to give you a report on your child’s progress.  When you enrol your child in a new school, you should give the principal a copy of the report from the last school and if the school has given your child school books or other items, return these before you leave.
