A principal and principled. A friend but also a mentor. Always a smile and a friendly hello. A supporting boss and colleague like no other. You listened. You gave advice. You made us laugh. You were someone we could count on. I really loved how you loved students and always put them first. Listening to their needs and putting things into action with students in mind, not tradition or "it's always been done that way" – a true leader and friend to both students and teachers. We miss you Murray! Thank you for all you did and for just being you.
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.
