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. 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
