St Leonards, NSW - Hills District broker Thaer Burbar has been included in the annual Top 100 Brokers list released by Mortgage Professional Australia magazine. This prestigious list spotlights the best brokers in Australia and is widely regarded as the industry benchmark for top performers. According to Burbar, there are several factors that make a top broker: hard work, industry knowledge, understanding of the different banks and their policies, as well as being able to identify the best fit for a customer. Having seen almost 50% growth in loan values since the last financial year, the director of North Kellyville’s Greenline Home Loans says his success is down to “utter hard work”.  The brokerage specialises in different kinds of home, asset finance and commercial loans. Going beyond that, it even has a lending arm of the business offering its own white label product that was launched in August. But customer service is its primary focus, and Burbar says he goes above and beyond for all his customers, no matter the situation. “The importance of my customers is above all else,” he says. He prides himself on being able to “make miracles happen”, regardless of what box the customer fits into. “After four years in a row of our Top 100 Brokers seeing dropping loan values, 2020 brought a welcome change. In a financial year that included an unprecedented global pandemic, these brokers faced into the challenges to achieve record-breaking results,” says Mortgage Professional Australia editor Rebecca Pike. “Rather than use total loan value to determine the Top 100, our method was changed last year to allow us to celebrate those brokers who are continuing to improve or who are writing those big-number deals. The ranking is now worked out with a weighted system using total loan value, average loan value, number of loans and loan growth.” Read the full report in issue 20.12 of Mortgage Professional Australia, out now or find out more about Burbar HERE. -ENDS-   Mortgage Professional Australia (MPA) is the leading business magazine for the mortgage and finance industry.

The Kind Press is proud to announce the release of The Reset Switch by Pina Di Donato. The turn of a new decade held such promise. A chance to close off a cycle and begin anew in 2020. And then every corner of the globe was exposed to a new type of highly contagious and unpredictable virus. With no pre immunity, vaccine or treatment, every human was susceptible. Sounding much like a science fiction movie, this was to become the world’s reality and worst nightmare of leaders and frontline medical experts. COVID-19 has ripped through entire countries, causing widespread isolations, lockdowns, death and crippling economies all over the world. The effects and impacts of this virus are far reaching and complex, bringing every part of our lives under the spotlight, requiring reflection and adjustment. All the solutions and management points to a need to shut down everything, reset, and work out ways to effectively reboot the system. But for every dark cloud there is bound to be a silver lining; an opportunity that could, in fact, make a difference to our future. 2020, a year of reset, on an individual and global scale. Having passed through a period of gradual awakening, and having made many changes in order to create the life she felt she deserved, Pina Di Donato was looking forward to the new year. But just when she thought she was finally in control of her future, the Universe had other plans. She, too, would be banished to her corner of the room where she could rest, reflect, reset and contemplate her next move. This book is the result of her reflection and offers an original perspective on the experience. The Reset Switch is a friendly book that highlights the benefits of slowing down, putting the need for reset under the microscope and offering newness and the promise of what is to come. Could true happiness be just around the corner? -ENDS- The Reset Switch by Pina Di Donato.

2020-12-02T02:35:00Z ingleburn-public-school-named-innovative-school

St Leonards, NSW (2 December 2020) - A south-western Sydney school has been recognised in a prestigious list of the best schools in Australia. Ingleburn Public School has been included in The Educator’s sixth annual Innovative Schools report, showcasing the fifty schools making the most profound and exciting impact in K-12 education.  “The Educator Innovative Schools report seeks to showcase those schools at the forefront of change and innovation,” says Editor Brett Henebery. “This year, the COVID-19 pandemic forced Australian schools to implement massive changes to their existing models as face-to-face classes shifted online. While this no doubt posed enormous challenges across all areas of teaching, parental engagement and student wellbeing, some schools saw some unique and exciting opportunities to innovative and improve the way they deliver teaching and learning, not just in 2020 but well beyond the pandemic.” In an entrepreneurial partnership with UNSW, Ingleburn Public School has established the world’s first school-based clinic for managing disruptive behaviour disorders (DBDs) in young children. Under the Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) program, parents receive real-time live coaching from a certified therapist, who observes the parent/child playing from behind a one-way mirror. The therapist then coaches the parent to apply evidence-based parental strategies by speaking into a microphone that connects to the wireless earpiece worn by the parent. For teachers with a student participating in the program, they are given access to informational and in-class support services, to enhance their capacity building and to better manage problematic behaviours within the classroom. The PCIT program, provided to at-risk students and families free of charge since June 2019, runs from Ingleburn Public School across six schools and preschool in South Western Sydney. It was awarded a Secretary's Award for School Achievement in the 2020 NSW Minister's and Secretary's Awards for Excellence.

2020-11-30T23:38:33Z cremation-is-more-than-simply-a-choice-of-disposition

Cremation as a disposition process is increasingly embraced by consumers of nearly all religious, economic and regional groups, and the reasons for choosing this option are nearly as diverse as the individuals themselves. However, according to eziFunerals Owner & Founder, Peter Erceg, ‘far too many funeral directors make the mistake of focusing on the economics of cremation as the sole contributing factor of consumer decision making. They do it because their competitors down the road are charging less for a direct cremation than it does for its basic services fee. Don’t be that firm!’, says Erceg. eziFunerals is all about fair and affordable funerals. That’s why we exist, said Erceg. But, if a consumer calls a funeral home and asks for a price for cremation, how do you answer? If a funeral director simply gives them a price for a direct cremation, then they are doing their funeral home and the families they serve, a disservice’, he says. Cremation is more than simply a choice of disposition Cremation is more than simply a choice of disposition. It should be considered as just one part of the funeral process. The choices available to a family that chooses cremation are even more varied than that of a traditional burial disposition, and a family that expresses a desire for cremation should be given the opportunity to understand all those options. For example, a direct cremation should, at minimum, include fees for basic services, removal, care and preparation of un-embalmed remains and the cremation. Families only have one opportunity to have it done right. There are no re-runs and a decision based on price alone has the potential to leave a family bereft and unhappy with how the final disposition of their loved one has been handled. Cremation is not a race to the bottom It is very important to the financial health of a funeral home owner that cremation is not, economically speaking, a race to the bottom. Many cremation providers eziFunerals partner with, are more focussed on providing professional and caring services based on the individual needs of families, rather than by what it costs to provide these services. Our clients understand that premium funeral homes have significant costs/investments in professional facilities and staff. Those are two big reasons why families keep coming to our premium members in the first place, says Erceg. Our member funeral directors may not be the cheapest, but people see value in the services they provide, at one of the most difficult times in our lives.

Green Valley Day Program celebrated NAIDOC Week in July when the activities are traditionally observed. The site was bright with colour, dance, art and music. NAIDOC Week celebrations began at Green Valley with clients having their faces painted with the colours of the Aboriginal flag. Staff and participants then welcomed Jason, from the DHARAWAL people, who talked to the group about Aboriginal culture. Jason asked Afford staff to join him in a cleansing ceremony, as a sign of new beginning for the community. A welcome dance followed with depictions of the kangaroo, emu and eagle. Participants of all abilities joined in the dance and movements. An important part of the welcome ceremony involved placing clay handprints onto a surface to be kept and recognised as a symbol of solidarity. An Afford jacket was chosen as the surface. Handprints adorn the jacket, which is now displayed proudly in a frame at the Green Valley site. Throughout the day, clients were supported to complete Aboriginal inspired dot painting on plywood boomerangs. Afford encourages and understanding and appreciation of communities and cultures.

Afford (The Australian Foundation for Disability) is a not-for-profit disability provide that supports individuals living with disability to engage in meaningful activities and learn more about the world around them.

Everyone who made a poppy was very proud of all they had created and happy to share this with the broader community.” The site is lucky enough to have nurtured beautiful, live, red poppies, but the addition of ceramic red poppies will highlight the significance of the 11th of November at their site. During art program, clients were supported to use plaster to form the petals and markings of their poppies. After the plaster was dry, clients used vibrant red paint to decorate their creations. Wire stems were then added to the poppies. Everyone placed their poppies in the front garden. Some even fixed their poppies to the front tree.

Horizon Bank has partnered with The National Theatre for Children (NTC) to educate students about financial literacy. The livestream educational program is available for grades 1-6 across the Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Far South Coast. While Horizon Bank and NTC have partnered to bring live-in-school theatrical performances into schools for many years, this year during Term 4 the program has been adapted into an all-digital livestream interactive alternative. This will ensure the continued and safe education of students as schools switch to a combination of classroom instruction, distance learning from home and COVIDsafe curriculum. "Given the unpredictability of the current school year, e-learning programs that can be delivered remotely to teachers and students are an important way to reinforce the curriculum and form connections in this time of social distancing," said Horizon Bank CEO, Jon Stanfield. “The livestream event, ‘Showdown at Two Bob Billabong’, allows Horizon Bank to bring vital financial literacy education to schools, students and their families." The Financial Literacy program focuses on what is money, the uses of money, why we should save money and how we can save money. The livestream educational event features a live actor/educator host who introduces the program, sets up and recaps a series of educational theatre episodic videos, and leads a Q&A in which students and teachers submit questions for the host to answer live in real time. The comedic, educational videos feature a variety of characters including Mayor Matilda, Gordon Gumnut, The Great Barry Reef and Ned Jelly, in humorous situations revolving around money. The livestream education events are supplemented by student playbooks (both print and online versions) as well as a full digital curriculum including games, activities and hands-on lessons. Horizon Bank sponsors every aspect of the program, making the livestream event and supplemental curriculum a cost-free curriculum addition to classroom lessons in maths, literacy and the arts.
