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. 5102.01 - Albion State School 1936 Grade 1 and 2 5102.04 - Albion State School 1936 Grade 4 5102.05 - Albion State School 1936 Grade 5 and 6 5102.07 - Albion State School 1936 Prep 5102.07 - Albion State School 1936 Prep Names Back Row L2R Miss Catt Albert Powerlett Ron Masson Don Powerlett Keith Rarborough Unknown Unknown Geoff Affleck Unknown Eddie Penierici Alan Jenkins Miss White 2nd Row L2R Josie Gahan Elaine Wilson Vilma Hayes Unknown Joy Fisher Unknown Margaret Baker Evelyn Whitcombe Mavis Cameron 3rd Row L2R Bobby Hodge Pat Baker June Richards Unknown Pat Robinson Mary Hall Shirley Black Beryl Phillips George Thomas Front Row L2R Brian Allen Les Trickey Unknown Kevin James Albert Hayden Howard Stephens Syd Smith 5102.08 - Albion State School 1936 Staff 5102.08 - Albion State School 1936 Staff Names Rear L2R Mr Bern Hovenden Student Teacher PT Grade 3 Miss Molly Brink Grade 5 Mr Hee Wood Student Teacher PT Grade 3 Miss Nanny White Preps and Grade 1 Seated L2R Miss Holly North Infant Mistress Grade 2 Mr George Polson Head Teacher Grade 6 Miss Eileen Lennox Grade 4 albion state school, albion primary school, adelaide street, albion
