6 Will Murray Fundraiser At Monday s assembly we had a special guest speaker, Jack Clarkson, an ex BPS student who now attends Brighton Grammar. Jack spoke of the journey of his friend Will Murray who tragically suffered life changes injuries from a diving accident during school holidays. To assist with the huge medical costs relating to Will s treatment Jack has approached Brighton Primary School to hold a Free Dress Day to raise awareness of Will s plight and to allow the opportunity for our community to show their support for this Will and his family. Students and Staff are invited to come to school this Friday in FREE DRESS and by adding a splash of orange can show their support. All donations to support this initiative can be made directly to the Where There s A Will There s A Way charity whose goal is to raise enough money to relieve the significant financial pressure placed on the Murrays by this tragic accident.

7 Will Murray Where there s a Will there s a Way Speech by Jack Clarkson (4yrs) Good morning Mrs. Lawrence, Ms. Solecki, Ms. Branka, staff, students and parents. Thank you for inviting me to speak at today s assembly. My name is Jack Clarkson and I am an ex Brighton primary student starting in 008 and graduating in 04. I currently attend Brighton Grammar in year 8. Today I am going to be speaking about why you re having a free dress day this Friday. When I woke up on Monday, January 8 th my mum gave me the awful news that my mate Will Murray had a diving accident off the pier at Half Moon Bay. I asked her what happened and she said that he had broken his neck. Before this accident, Will was a freak of nature at sport. He was the vice-captain of the state footy team in 04, he has ridden BMX bikes for Australia, played rep Basketball, was awarded MVP of the SMJ under 4 footy league and has set many awards in athletics at Brighton Grammar. The day before I received this news, on Sunday January 7 th, Will was sitting on the pier with some friends chatting about his first overseas trip. He hadn t been in the water yet as he had just arrived at Half Moon Bay. Will and his friends decided instead to go and swim at someone s pool and called a parent to come and pick them up. While they were waiting for their lift to arrive, they decided to have a cool down in the water. Two of the boys jumped in first and then Will dived in, bringing his arms back to make him hit the water head first. When he hit the sand at the bottom of the water with great speed he burst his C5 vertebrae which is a bone in his neck. What this meant was Will could no longer move his arms or legs. He was rushed to hospital in an ambulance and had to have an operation. After the operation Will almost passed away because he couldn t breathe properly. After 4 tough months in hospital, Will is now at home and that s where our job begins. In order for Will to improve he needs lots of rehab which costs a lot of money. He is not able to access any insurance money because it is prohibited to jump or dive off piers in Victoria. The Murray family needs all of our support to help Will. For this reason, I have asked many schools in Bayside to have a free dress day this Friday. Brighton Primary School have kindly agreed to support this cause so please make sure that you show your support by wearing a splash of orange and bringing a gold coin or small donation to help one of life s great people through his recovery. And most importantly, please learn from this and check the depth of water before jumping or diving into any water so that this does not happen to you or any of your friends. Thank you for listening.

13 BPS Dads Footy Match Training starts now! When: Sunday afternoons at 4pm Where: Little Hurlingham Oval, Nepean Highway, Brighton (subject to availability) Now that the weather has changed, it s time to pull on the footy boots and kick a few balls around the oval. Every year, BPS plays a game of footy against Brighton Beach in August and you are invited to come down for training. Whilst the game is a great fundraising event, it is also an opportunity for the dads of our school to spend time with the mates you ve made and make a few new ones. No worries if you grew up with another code, all are welcome. Registrations for the game will open shortly for 60 players. Based on feedback, there are many of you who are keen to come down for a kick on a Sunday but are not necessarily up for a game of competitive football, so this year we will also have a supporters option, giving you a way to contribute to the school. More details coming soon. Any queries, contact Nick Paltoglou on or npaltoglou@ords.com.au
