Upper Hutt College uses Google Apps for Education, which is a free suite of productivity tools including Gmail, Drive and Docs. Students’ work can be saved 'in the cloud’ so it is accessible from school and home.

Students will still have access to computers at school. We have classroom suites of computers that teachers have access to, and there are computers in the school library and in some of the shared learning areas. We also have a number of sets of Chromebooks that teachers can book out for classes.
