Help with Google G Suite

Introduction

Mackenzie High School offers Google G Suite to all staff and students.

Google G Suite provides everyone with a @mackenziehigh.school email address, and access to all Google for Education apps, including:

Accessing your Email

You have to log in to http://mail.mackenziehigh.school to access your email. Once you have logged in, you can access all of the other Google apps.

If you are a member of staff  your email address is your initial, then a dot, then your surname @mackenziehigh.school. For example, Stephen Wilkinson’s email address is s.wilkinson@mackenziehigh.school.

If you are a student your email address is your first name, then a dot, then your surname @mackenziehigh.school. For example, the email address of Rockell Harry is rockell.harry@mackenziehigh.school.

You will have been told your initial password. You will be asked to set a new password when you first log on. Your password needs to use 8 characters or more. It can be a combination of letters, numbers and symbols.
