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. 5155.01 - Albion State School 2002 Grade 1 2T Names Back Row L2R Aaron Mayne Christene Protacio Julie Ung Nicholas Burrows Ebony Wemyss David Truong Natasha Malolo Second Row L2R Joshua Micallef Rochaell Donoghue Mana Lumm Meghan Douglas Jarrod Doherty Orlando Mayor Hayden Formosa Paige Mackenzie Front Row L2R Chelsea Lever Naomi Truong Nuri Nurhussien Stephanie Nedelkovska Emma Gruescu Ashleigh Gauci David Tran Zoe Ward Malea Culhane Saamu Teacher Mrs Jann Turner Mr Angela Paschalidis Principal Mr Joe Vella 5155.02 - Albion State School 2002 Grade 2 3M 5155.02 - Albion State School 2002 Grade 2 3M Names Back Row L2R Bethany Tippet Narrell Raye Aaron McIntyre Joshua Boudoloh Reece Mayne Travis Montague Jesse Culhane Saamu Nicolle Reynolds Second Row L2R Annie Lam Jessica Nedelkovska Paloma Donato Travis Blacket Tim ONeill Bojana Kakuca Thuy Tran Melissa Hall Front Row L2R Alfie Kennedy Imran Rashid Danielle Williams Jim Murphy Kobi HOle Marsden Chantel Attard Natalie Coburn Kieran Azzopardi Luke DAlfonso Teacher Ms Andrea Murray Principal Mr Joe Vella 5155.03 - Albion State School 2002 Grade 3 4H 5155.03 - Albion State School 2002 Grade 3 4H Names Back Row L2R Peter Mayne Safia Ali William Burrows David Kennedy Jesse Hearn James Schwencke Samantha Firth Second Row L2R Alisi Faingaanuku Jessica Heeps Nathaniel Dizon Owen Malolo Tarick Haleseh Amy Caruana Smith Ashley Skew Ethan Morgan Front Row L2R Nicole Williams Rahma Nurhussien Daniel Falzon Tiffany Smith Kasey Davis Natalie Miranda Zorana Popovic Jenny Le Shakira Lever Teacher Mrs Julie Hrovatin Mrs Lorraine Farrugia Principal Mr Joe Vella 5155.04 - Albion State School 2002 Grade 4 5R 5155.04 - Albion State School 2002 Grade 4 5R Names Back Row L2R Merren Smart Robert Reynolds Mitchell Durbin Zayne Duggan Cody Mayne Callan Tishler Ladd John Second Row L2R Nivaar Rolston Gosia Wasilewska Sam Malolo Stephanie Stronell Julie Rand Kelly Kennedy Aidan Wileman Michael Nardella Teagan Maguire Front Row L2R Jennifer Williams Daniel Kindred Corine Markovic Jade Formosa Nichalos Davie Jahnah Clark Luke Meyer Jake Raye Jennifer Truong Teacher Miss Jennifer Ryan Principal Mr Joe Vella 5155.05 - Albion State School 2002 Grade 6H 5155.05 - Albion State School 2002 Grade 6H Names Back Row L2R James Durham Kristy Ward Melissa Kennedy Sharnee Adams Courtney Teray Troy Maguire Steven Puckek Second Row L2R Shane Quinsee Steven Cameron IKamil Bulinski Megan Montague Phillip Cetwerschuk Mathew Smith Adis Husejnovic William Raye Absent Mathew Grima Teacher Mr Wayne Haren Mrs Sandra Spurr Principal Mr Joe Vella Front Row L2R 5155.06 - Albion State School 2002 Grade Prep 1B 5155.06 - Albion State School 2002 Grade Prep 1B Names Back Row L2R Travis Rand Benjamin Britton Jack Schofield John Huynh David Ung Second Row L2R Stephen Coburn Kurtis Maguire Jayde Page Milos Zarkovic Kaliesha Birch Melisa Husejnovic Tyson Freeman Annalise McMillan Front Row L2R Nerys Davie Chelsea TeRay Blake MacKenzie Brayden Lumm Mile Ajder Jordan Boudoloh Nhu Nguyen Jessica Tawaf Sang Lam Teacher Miss Elisaa Barr Mrs Betty Batty Principal Mr Joe Vella 5155.07 - Albion State School 2002 Grade Prep G 5155.07 - Albion State School 2002 Grade Prep G Names Back Row L2R Liam Noack Brendan Stendt Steven Firth Ashley Rattray Second Row L2R Cecilia Nguyen Jennifer Ung Dale Reynolds Samuel Miranda Kyle Durbin Sharon Mach Hani Mohammad Front Row L2R Shae Scholfield Kelvin Quach Brenden Smith Dean Pegram Amanda Mach Jamie Wooding Brandon Marsh Howe Alexis Ante Absent Elias Boudoloh Linh Tran Teacher Miss Marnie Galea Principal Mr Joe Vella 5155.08 - Albion State School 2002 Staff 5155.08 - Albion State School 2002 Staff Names Back Row L2R Marnie Galea Andrea Murray Elissa Barr John Milne Julie Hrovatin Sandra Spurr Jennifer Ryan Sandy Dennis Front Row L2R Lynn Mahoney Angela Paschalidis Susan Carpenter Joe Vella Teresa Woods Lorraine Farrugia Pt Porigneaux Absent Wayne Haren Jann Turner Betty Battyalbion state school, albion primary school, adelaide street, albion
