Pic. Deakin Student's in attendance.

"I am very happy to sponsor a Deakin University Business student to attend the upcoming Whitehorse Business Group "What's Happening in Whitehorse" seminar.
Deakin Business students worked with me to set up my first Website & pages when I first set up my business 11 years ago. It was a ground-breaking project at the time, as I believe it was the first time an online-only project student team had completed a group project like this.
I am also grateful to the Whitehorse Business Development Officer who helped initiate the first contact. I hope that these future business leaders will also benefit, as I have from such support & cooperation."

🎉 Thanks for Making ‘What’s Happening in Whitehorse’ a Success!
A massive thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of our event!
We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to our amazing sponsors, Forest Hill Chase and Yarra Valley Water, for their generous support. 🌟
