The PRWIRE Press Releaseshttps://2021-01-08T04:59:25ZHills broker recognised as industry elite performer2021-01-08T04:59:25Zhills-broker-recognised-as-industry-elite-performer
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.”

Could 2020 be the year for the ultimate reset and slowing down, both on an individual and universal level? Discover the wisdom within, Author, Pina Di Donato’s new book, The Reset Switch.2020-12-08T01:29:00Zcould-2020-be-the-year-for-the-ultimate-reset-and-slowing-down-both-on-an-individual-and-universal-level-discover-the-wisdom-within-author-pina-di-donato-s-new-book-the-reset-switch
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?

Ingleburn Public School named innovative school2020-12-02T02:35:00Zingleburn-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.

CREMATION IS MORE THAN SIMPLY A CHOICE OF DISPOSITION2020-11-30T23:38:33Zcremation-is-more-than-simply-a-choice-of-dispositionCremation 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.

These were just some of the activities that were held at Afford’s Green Valley Day Program to observe NAIDOC Week in 2020. Afford (The Australian Foundation for Disability) is a not-for-profit disability provider that supports individuals to achieve their goals for work, home and life under the NDIS. Supporting individuals of all abilities to participate in meaningful and community minded activities form the basis for program development across Afford disability services. In recognition of indigenous culture during NAIDOC Week (8-15 November), Green Valley Day Program staff organised for representatives of the local indigenous people to visit and reflect on the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 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.

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 Brings Financial Literacy E-Learning Events to NSW Students2020-10-19T03:49:37Zhorizon-bank-brings-financial-literacy-e-learning-events-to-nsw-students
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.
Local schools can sign up
to participate in the "Showdown at Two Bob Billabong" livestream
events at:
