Gold Coast Local Hero Kaitlin Barwick meets her banner.
At only 16 years old Kaitlin founded Squad Eleven, a group of high school students who carry out selfless acts of kindness around the Gold Coast as a way of encouraging teenagers to be active in the community. The group was founded in 2018 after Kaitlin identified that some teenagers did not have the confidence or means to be proactive in their own community. The group currently has 25 - 30 members ranging from years 7 to year 12.
This year Kaitlin is in her final year of high school at Varsity College, Secondary Campus on the Gold Coast. Her amazing Squad have participated in the cleaning up of Lake Orr, volunteer at a local retirement home and have raised money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the ‘Brissie to the Bay 100km Bike Ride.’ They meet once a month to discuss ideas and network, building the confidence of its members to volunteer effectively.
Kaitlin proves that everyone, young and old, can make a difference to their community by taking action. Her message of kindness has spread to others.
Her advice is:
“When people pressure you to change who you are, to change your morals and to change your beliefs...stand strong... be courageous... and be YOU! Dream big, create change and throw kindness like its confetti, because you can be somebody else’s inspiration.”
Kaitlin received the 2019 award for Gold Coast Young Citizen of the Year for her work and leadership in the community. She is currently one of four finalists in a leadership category for the Seven News Queensland Young Achievers Award. ... See MoreSee Less

This is a picture of Lena at our recent 20 Year Celebration and one of her also at the age of 20.
Lena will be greatly missed. We wish her family a long life. ... See MoreSee Less
