Murray Balfe

Stars of the Central Coast 2026

Meet Murray

Proud Principal of the best school on the Central Coast - Lisarow High School. I am also privileged to be the Assistant Coach of the Mighty E-Gals! the Umina United Soccer Club Women's Premier League team. My most difficult job (yet the most rewarding) is being the father of 3 teenage daughters and 1 spoilt sausage dog! I am passionate about making a positive difference for young people and supporting them to find their own pathway to success, whatever it takes. I am Central Coast born and bred, and want our community to be the best it can be. I am no dancer but have dabbled in Aerobics to raise money for our school Aerobics National Championship winning team! 

My Updates

Why am I doing this???

Everyone has their lives touched by Cancer in some form. I get the wonderful opportunity to work with so many young people and their families - sometimes through the challenge of Cancer.
I am a passionate and proud Central Coast resident, dad, Principal and Soccer Coach - dancing for funds that can save lives is a small and fun way to hopefully make a genuine positive difference to support the valuable work of the Cancer Council

Thank you to my Sponsors
