It's so sad to hear of Murray's passing. We worked together at WAB for a few short years. Murray was a great teacher who transformed my son's experience learning mathematics, helping him become more confident at a time when he really needed it. He was calm, kept stuff in perspective, believed in people, and was just a steady and kind presence. We were in touch last summer over a shared passion for music. What a great guy! Gone but never forgotten – Murray made a positive difference in the lives of many and I'm grateful to have known and worked with him. Heartfelt condolences to his family.
This is a place to remember and celebrate the life and achievements of our principal, friend and colleague, Mr Murray Polglase. Please share your stories, memories and thoughts, so we can all see what a positive impact he had on all those around him.
