Contact Us for more information and fund raising opportunities on the Powerhouse School e-Business solution
The School e-Business Network is hosted on the Powerhouse CMS and linked to your school website. It is customised for your school to provide parents and alumni with the opportunity to list their business, search for other community businesses, sell products, advertise jobs, access special offers and bid in online auctions.
Your school can participate in a fund-raising program by allowing your sponsors to participate in the e-Business network by profiling their products and services with banner advertisements.
One of Australia's largest schools has deployed their business network on Powerhouse and providing their community and sponsors with many benefits.
