Campbell Brown Memorial Award for Citizenship
On Tuesday 8th September relatives and family friends of Campbell (’94) joined Hodges House via Zoom to present the Campbell Brown Memorial award. The award is named after former Hodges boarder, Campbell Brown, originally from Wee Waa NSW, who died tragically in an ultra-light plane accident in the Northern Territory in 2008.
It is also with great sadness we note that this year Campbell’s mother passed away after a long battle with cancer. We are sure she would have loved to have joined the presentation if she was still with us. Mrs Brown was a strong supporter of the SHORE school, and was proud to have her son attend as a boarder. It was her initiative and feeling of connection to SHORE, and in particular Hodges House which brought about the award named after her son.
The Campbell Brown Memorial award is presented annually to a boy in Year 11 who demonstrates good character and behaviour, is involved in a variety of activities inside and outside the boarding community, and who demonstrates moral courage. The award is made possible through the generosity of Campbell’s parents, Janet and Geoffrey, in memory of their son.
Congratulations to Campbell Duff (11HS1) who was the worthy recipient of the award for 2020.
