The current school, Albion Primary School, No 4265 opened in 1926. It was built on a site once owned by John Fitzgerald (1850s). The land was later acquired by H. V. McKay who had transferred his Sunshine Harvester Works to the area in 1905 - 7. In 1920, the Albion railway station was moved nearer Ballarat Road at the request of Mr McKay. More people came to live in the area including soldier settlers.Albion Primary School's mission is to 'Aim High' in all we do so that our students grow to be socially capable, reach their full academic potential and become caring, respectful community minded people. Albion Primary School is located in a residential area in Albion, a small pocket of the local government area of Brimbank, approximately 10 kilometres west of Melbourne and was established in 1926. Our current enrolment is 199 students. We have a rich cultural diversity amongst our school community. The school is set around a courtyard with spacious playing areas including a grassed oval, running track, games courts, an adventure playground, sand pit, jumping pits, shady courtyard and garden areas, a vegetable garden and fruit tree orchard. As well as classroom groups, we have our learning teams, student house groups (siblings are allocated to the same house) and a Junior School Council. The school has four main buildings. All classrooms have air conditioning and interactive screens. Block A houses classrooms, staff areas and the administration offices. Our newest building has classrooms and some small group/office spaces. Block B includes our library, canteen and a multi-purpose room used for indoor physical education, Perceptual Motor Program, drama, visiting performers, and community activities. Block C houses classrooms and specialist rooms. We expect and receive the best from our students in terms of their learning and behaviour. The school’s dedicated and effective staff is strongly committed to helping students achieve personal, behavioural, social and academic success. In terms of learning, the highest priority is placed on the work in English and Mathematics. We also have a range of specialist and extra-curricular programs that we provide. Our specialist teacher-librarian is involved in reading extension programs that support development in literacy. All children are able to develop their artistic abilities through visual arts and music program. Our music program is supported by the Australian Children's Music Foundation. A specialist Physical Education teacher provides lessons for all children as well as the opportunity for students to participate in organised lunch time sporting competitions between the house groups. Auslan is the additional language all students learn at Albion. All children participate in a student wellbeing program that focuses on developing strong connections and a sense of belonging within the school. Our school student leaders participate in programs that help develop their leadership skills. 5138.01 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 1 2L 5138.01 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 1 2L Names Back Row L2R Adrian Downing Aaron Wright Phillip Giowacki Michael Kapaufs Second Row L2R Frank Matina Tahir Urun Brian Burns Michael Georgoulous Gavin Miller Mathew Chatzimiditrou Leigh Davis Third Row L2R Bianca Lee Melanie Farrugia Kellie Gray Kelly Dransman Emily Steers Yvette Glazner Amy Harland Front Row L2R Bonny Hemming Nadia Wilson Linda Turner Sharon McDonagh Saleena Tabone Suzanne Murley Michelle East Absent Kylie Laver Donna Johan Sharmaine Johnson Teacher Miss J Laurie Principal Mr A Peebles 5138.02 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 2 3 4 5 6CS 5138.03 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 2 3C 5138.03 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 2 3C Names Back Row L2R Tiep Christopher Patmore Troy Billsborrow David Turner Rohan Frankseon Andrew Popovic Second Row L2R Hayden Vandenberg Michael Leonard Michael Canuti James Gowans Mark Reid Adam Buscombe David McKeown Third Row L2R Christ Gowans Ece Mustafa Julie Duncan Delwyn Hicks Leigha Hartley George Papanastasiou Front Row Anna Huynh Naomi Farrugia Kylie Duke Raeleen Miller Jodie Hector nattalee Drake Melai Goring Absent Gary Johan Teachers Mr D Cross Ms A Murray Principal Mr A Peebles 5138.04 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 2 3CS 5138.04 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 2 3CS Names Back Row L2R Aaron McIntyre Matthew Henderson Joshua McConnell Andrew Heaviside Second Row L2R Jodie Parker Sally Jolley Samantha Durham Karleen Miller Rebecca Goring Jodie Jolley Inca Bull Third Row L2R David Bajada Daniel Haynes Rosetta Scalise Ben Sims Marisa Bonnici William Varga Ross Heard Front Row L2R Rebecca Walker Kylie Freemantle Jenny Huynh Belinda Cain Narelle Gunn Tania Cipriani Amanda Walker Teachers Mrs C Giordano Miss H Hardy Miss S Clayton Principal Mr A Peebles 5138.05 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 4 5 6CS 5138.06 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 4C 5138.06 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 4C Names Back Row L2R Jeffrey Roberts Rainer Kogibauer Michael Bajada Mjurray Humphries Greg Formosa Paul Glowacki Murray Nowlan Second Row L2R Simon Zahra Sheena Davis Shelley Sosnowski Robert Nedelkovski Kristy Marinkovic Daniela Matina Kerri Burns Third Row L2R Shona King Tania Clark Andrea Glazner Kerry Grahm Christine Barham Michelle OLoughlin Christine Murley Absent Rachel Laver Teacher Mr G Crosling Principal Mr A Peebles Front Row L2R 5138.07 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 4 5R 5138.07 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 4 5R Names Back Row L2R Theo Chatzidimitriou Liam Hulme Jason Wright Erin Bodey Second Row L2R Jamie Adams Darren Jury Israil Bull Tony Aguis Carlo Argetto Paul Djuric Rodney Hector Third Row L2R Travers Hemming Karen Dorrough Peter Lewis Jason Evans Dino Osmanagic Tammy Weekes Cyril White Front Row L2R Angela Rowe Michelle Patmore Stoja Zvizdaio Kylie Freeman Tamie Freemantle Despina Georgoulis Toulis Treagus Absent Nyomie Duggan Teacher Miss Rinaldi Principal Mr A Peebles 5138.08 - Albion State School 1985 Grade 6G 5138.09 - Albion State School 1985 Grade Prep 1S 5138.09 - Albion State School 1985 Grade Prep 1S Names Back Row Phillip Huynh Slade Nowlan David Gilchrist Ricky Every Second Row L2R Kent Giblin Slavo Kzreski Brett Zahra Daniel Canuh Nathan Reid Bradley Lowdell Sasha Ivkovic Third Row L2R Andrew Males Brett Russell Sotiria Foundoulis Kristina Lazerevski Corey Freeman Keryn Manning Front Row L2R Emma Christopoulos Natalie Adams Lisa Stork Suzi Taleski Katherine Gray Tina Tasovac Karen Walkerden Teacher Mrs Sosnowski Principal Mr A Peebles 5138.10 - Albion State School 1985 Grade Prep W 5138.10 - Albion State School 1985 Grade Prep W Names Back Row L2R Trent Nowlan Antony Kitchen Brendan Chugg Marc Dransman Daniel Weeks Michael Miller Brandan Franksen Second Row L2R Gia Tran Stuart Hicks Ella McConnell Shaun Heidemann Erin Troy Mathew Frost Kemal Mustafa Third Row L2R Sonia Gauci Jodie Manning Jemma Stark Jade Clarke Samantha Shotton Melissa Minor Brooke Hounsell Absent Robecca Boseley Amber Whitlow Teacher Mrs T Woods Principal Mr A Peebles 5138.11 - Albion State School 1985 Staff albion state school, albion primary school, adelaide street, albion
