The marriage of Miss Sarah A.

The ceremony took place at 4 p.m. and was performed by the Rev Percey Knight, B.A., of Alphington. The bride entered the drawing room with her father who gave her away, and the Wedding March, was nicely played by Miss Wild. The bride was prettily dressed in creme voile nicely tucked and gathered, trimmed with guipure lace and silk ruching, sprays of orange blossom, wreath and veil, and she carried a shower bouquet. Her travelling dress was a very pretty blue. The brides-maids were Miss Ethel Barker dressed in pale green voile trimmed with creme guipure lace and silk ruching; and Miss Button in creme voile, guipure lace, silk ruching; both carried pretty bouquets. The groomsmen were Mr Lorimer, of Diamond Creek, and Mr George Bird, brother of the bride. Between forty and fifty relatives and friends partook of a bountifully provided and nicely laid out breakfast. The usual toasts were honored, and congratulations were freely tendered "to the happy couple". The decorations were very tastefully executed by Miss Beatrice Nelson, and Mr Sayers. The evening was very pleasantly spent in singing, recitations, games, and other suitable pastimes, while others "tipped the light fantastic toe". About 10 p.m., "while all was merry as a marriage bell", the bride and bridegroom departed secretly "to cheat surprise and prying eyes". The presents were numerous and handsome:– Parents of the bride, sewing machine; Miss A. Bird, silver breakfast cruet; Miss N. Bird, bread board and knife; Master A. Bird, pair glass dishes; Master R.

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. 5141.01 - Albion State School 1988 Community School 5141.01 - Albion State School 1988 Community School Names Back Row L2R Brett Russell Ece Mustala Rebecca Walker Joshua McConnell James Gowans Chris Gowans Daniel Haynes Amanda Walker Leigh Alderton Naomi Farrugia Second Row L2R Anthony Hilton Leigh Davis Kylie Laver Troy Billsborrow Suzi Taleski Belinda Cain Sotiria Foundoulis Brett Zahra Melissa Chatzidimitriou David Wyse Andrea Murray Third Row L2R Melissa Minor Kenn Pimental Andrew Parker Gia Tran Michael Thomson Ella McConnell Brendan Chugg Mark Ly Juliette Judge Erick Pimental Front Row L2R Matthew Wright Malcolm Caruana David Filipov Jason Cain April Keane Drew Russell Herve Tran Damien McKenzie Valentina Risteska Ricky Every Absent David Bajada Teachers Andrea Murray Anthony Hilton Principal Alan Jones 5141.02 - Albion State School 1988 Grade 1 2A 5141.02 - Albion State School 1988 Grade 1 2A Names Back Row L2R Kenneth Smith Rebecca Parker William Huynh Matthew Calvitto Belinda Sims Kirsty Makeham Richard Awad Second Row L2R Ben Walkeden Steve Taleski Zawat Souki Dewayne Brizzi Nicholas Formosa Wesley Allender Bradley Rego Hollie Brennan Front Row L2R Tugba Yuksel Ian Dos Santo Joanne Billsborrow Kelly McKenzie Mark Rogers Lance Harland Kelly Barham Absent Mark Thomas Martin Wilson Teacher Mrs Heather Anthony Principal Mr Alan Jones 5141.03 - Albion State School 1988 Grade 2 3L 5141.03 - Albion State School 1988 Grade 2 3L Names Back Row Philip Huynh Tanya Smith Christopher Huynh Clinton Ainsley Serdar Yuksel Karen Walkeden Zoran Majkic Second Row L2R Kemal Mustafa Rebecca Wilson William Wilson Daniel Canuti Steve Wrochna Henrietta Horvath Anthony Kitchen Joseph Tadros Front Row L2R Ana Marek Brendan Franksen Zulai Akbaba Belinda Giblin Amber Whitlow Dragan Milic Sonia Gauci Absent Stuart HIcks Teachers Miss Jan Laurie Mr Michael Griffith Principal Mr Alan Jones 5141.04 - Albion State School 1988 Grade 4A 5141.04 - Albion State School 1988 Grade 4A Names Back Row L2R Linda Souki Trevor Souter bonny Hemming Lloyd Duggan Boni McComb Raquel Quarrell Second Row L2R Lisa Stork Adrian Downing Aaron Wright Corey Freeman Chris Heidemann Nathan Reid Katreena Keane Front Row L2R Sasha Ivkovic Rebekah Makeham Natalie Adams Suzie Murley Kent Giblin Robert Ayala Michelle East Jacob Schuliga Tian Tasovac Teacher Mrs Deborah Anderson Principal Mr Alan Jones 5141.05 - Albion State School 1988 Grade 5 6C 5141.05 - Albion State School 1988 Grade 5 6C Names Back Row L2R Hayden Vandenberg Mark Reid Monika Hauk Irene Wajlerski Michael Canuti Daniella Jeraj Second Row L2R Ben Hearn Nicole Tranter Ben Sims Marisa Bonnici Rosetta Scalise Front Row L2R Andrew Popovic Brett Thomson Amy Harland Melanie Farrugia Rebecca Goring Anna Huynh Jodie Parker Tania Cipriani Absent Steven Whitehouse Samantha Durham Delwyn Hicks Teacher Mr GW Crosling Principal Mr Alan Jones 5141.06 - Albion State School 1988 Grade 5V 5141.06 - Albion State School 1988 Grade 5V Names Back Row L2R Nattalee Drake Michael Leonard Yvette Glazner Ulku Yuksel Antonio Viterale Second Row L2R Shonte Rogers Jennhy Huynh Bernadette Hauk Julie Duncan Bob Milic Kristal Hjorth Front Row L2R Nadia Wilson Szilvia Horvath Christopher Rogers Rohan Franksen Nancy Gonzalez Leonie Wyse Sharon McDonagh Melai Goring Tiep Tran Absent Karina Rooth Teacher Joanne Vicary Principal Mr Alan Jones 5141.07 - Albion State School 1988 Grade Prep 1T 5141.07 - Albion State School 1988 Grade Prep 1T Names Back Row L2R Okan Beyit Jason Witcombe Jimar Coulson Murrielle Ocon Xavier Bailey Brent Monthouse Ozan Beyit Second Row L2R Suzanne Svizdalo Maria Pimentel Dimitra Kolokotsas Dragana Milic Philip Laver Natasha Loft Tony Tevelein Nathan Downing Sherrie Skew Front Row L2R Eddie Huynh Jerson Corcuera Chelsea Hall Adam Souter Jillian Allender Christine Fisher Absent Timothy Meilak Teacher Mrs B Telford Principal Mr Alan Jonesalbion state school, albion primary school, adelaide street, albion -

This included the removal and re-erection of the ex-military Bonegilla ward from Wodonga while in addition they carried out all the necessary building works that allowed the hospital to operate as a functional unit. The work was completed and handed over to the Hospital Committee of Management on September 1, 1949. Local residents raised 3,400 pounds through fund raising. The balance was met by the SEC and the Hospital and Charities Commission. The initial project was to provide for a basic temporary hospital which was later to include an Operating Theatre, Offices, Store, Mortuary and a Nurse’s Home, until the establishment of a permanent medical premises. Following the opening, 455 patients were admitted to the Tawonga District General Hospital and 254 operations were performed in the first year. The hospital relocated to Mount Beauty in the former SEC administration offices located in the town centre. Official opening of the 18 bed Tawonga District General Hospital on April 29 in 1961.

The Kiewa Hydro-Electric Scheme the State Electricity Commission played a pivotal part in the planning and initial funding of the Tawonga District General Hospital, with a view to providing medical support for its many workers on the Hydro scheme. Later, spouse and family members of workers were also able to access medical assistance The hospital was originally located in Tawonga away from the majority of the patients as the Hospital and Charities Board was not prepared to have it within the SEC controlled area. It was not until the gate at Tawonga South was taken down that the hospital was moved to the main centre of population at Mount Beauty. 1. Early nurses uniform; 2. Hospital Opening Ceremony; 3-7.

Tennis was very popular in the Kiewa Valley with the influx of players available from the Kiewa Hydro Electric Scheme. In the Bogong-Tawonga Tennis Association there were three Bogong teams - Cope, McKay and Beauty with the other teams from Tawonga called Wanderers, Rovers, Pines and South Tawonga. Reported in the SEC magazine, Oct--Nov. 1946 Page 45:- "The membership now totals eighty, and both Bogong courts are in continuous use during week-ends and in the evenings and early mornings." There were clubs & teams in Bogong, Mt Beauty and Tawonga. This trophy indicates that there was a tennis association at Tawonga South in 1950. In 1945 the Tawonga South school was set up to serve the children of the State Electricity Commission of Victoria employees. The school was extended from one room to two in 1955 to avoid congestion. This would indicate that the population would have been sufficient for a tennis club as well. In the SEC Magazine 1946 Page 45:- "South Tawonga Tennis Club has arranged social functions to raise funds, and working bees are busy on the erection of a tennis court. The president is Mr. N.

Squire, manager of the West Berry Consols, at Allendale, submitted a paper detailing what he had done tor the betterment of ventilation in the alluvial mines of Smeaton and Mary borough districts- Members gave Mr Squire every credit for the results that he claimed to have effected; the adoption of his ideas had testified to their value to mine-owners. It was painted out, however, that for want of a thorough debate of the subject with experienced men the author had unwittingly included some general statements that required modifying in some points and extending in others, in justice to other workers among the earlier and the present day managers of mines.

Fred Griffith was also a Councillor (1945, 1951-1953) and former Shire President (1951) of the Shire of Eltham. Faye Walker (nee Harris) spent her first ten years living in the house. She recalls "there was a huge tin shed to the rear but toward the east of the house. I assume this is what people were thinking of when reference was made to the ‘’packing shed’. When I was small in the 50s, the shed was no longer being used for fruit packing but by the Griffith family as storage. Many of the pear trees remained but were no longer a commercial venture. We used to sneak up to the shed to read the National Geographic Magazines."griffith park, eltham, frederick eldred griffith, faye walker (nee harris) collection
