Mr Polglase, I never had him as a teacher, but he was always around. Through his different roles at WAB, he was always an anchor whose calm presence and warm greetings, made us feel at home. Murray and Sam were like parents to our high school. Always there with open arms and ready to listen to anything we had to say. They made us feel safe, validated, important. Murray will always hold a very special place in my heart, a man of few words but with a fiery spirit, and he will be so dearly missed.
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.
If you would like to share photographs to add to our gallery, then please submit them using the Get in touch link and we will add them to the gallery. If you would like to read the speech made at Murray’s funeral ceremony, it is linked here.
In the future, we will make these messages and stories into a book for Murray’s family, and we know they will cherish the stories, experiences and connections of others with their husband and father.
