Email reporter Erin Constable at [email protected] Whitehorse covers an area of more than 64 square kilometres, with almost 150,000 residents. There are 22 suburbs within Whitehorse, stretching from Mont Albert in the west to Vermont in the east. Located just 15 kilometres from Melbourne, the area is known for its bushland reserves. Whitehorse claims to be the largest technology precinct

in eastern Melbourne, with highly developed telecommunications, multi media and information technology industries. Significant growth during the post-war period helped Whitehorse establish itself as a family orientated municipality. Good access to public transport has helped further expansion in more recent years.

🎉🎉 Graduation Celebrations 🎉🎉
Nearly 80 students graduated from Box Hill Institute's foundation education programs last week.
Foundation education programs include Certificate I in Initial Adult Literacy and Numeracy, Certificate I in Transition Education and Certificates I and II in Work Education.
These courses teach students essential life, work, and study skills while building the confidence needed to participate in further education, employment and community life.
BHI’s Foundation Education College director Matt Hetherington congratulated all the students on their achievements.
“Education is something that can change lives, and it’s why we believe it should be accessible to anyone who wants to pursue it," he said.
"These students have worked hard to complete their studies and I look forward to seeing how it helps them continue to grow."
One of the graduating students, Sebastian Cox, 20, completed the Certificate II in Work Education.
As part of his study, he completed a work placement with BHI’s partner, Menzies, which led to ongoing part-time employment.
His disability care worker, Oscar Canning, said Sebastian had "tremendous" growth throughout the program.
“He’s grown in confidence, communication and willingness to participate," he said.
"I’m really proud of him,” said Mr Canning.
Mr Cox intends to turn his love of animals into a vocation and apply for the Certificate II in Animal Care next year.
Congratulations to all the graduates!

Drones delivered more than just food in the eastern suburbs on Saturday afternoon. In a partnership between Wing and the Ringwood Football Netball Club, drones delivered the whistle and the celebration for club hero Declan Hill at the Redbacks home game.

Wing spokesperson Jesse Suskin said there had already been "a lot of deliveries" made by the drones already. "A lot of people have tired at the drones and many have made multiple orders.
