Rosehill CollegeThe BYOD Journey

Begins here……..

How did it all begin…….

• Once upon a time…in a far far away land called Papakura..lived a king. His castle was called Rosehill College.

• One day, some of the higher up people in the castle decided it was time to move away from the far far away land..to the new new land.

• A land where things will be done in the cloud!!!!!

• And that it how it all began…………………………….
