Last night we received tragic news that Campbell Barbour, at only 25 years of age lost his life in a car accident.
Campbell was a valued member of our new Flexible Learning Centre in Hemmant, Brisbane Bayside.
Campbell was an extraordinary person with great humour, compassion, enthusiasm and commitment to working with young people. He was well known in his field of Youth Work and had a unique ability to make a heart connection with all those around him.
Please hold Campbell and his family, friends and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers as we all travel through this sad and difficult time
