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. 5154.01 - Albion State School 2001 Grade 1 2T 5154.01 - Albion State School 2001 Grade 1 2T Names Back Row L2R Julie Ung Nathaniel Dizon Casey James Jesse Culhane Saamu Annie Lam Second Row L2R Jim Murphy Travis Montague Timothy ONeill Amy Caruana Smith Carl Schwencke Joshua Boudoloh Aaron McIntyre Front Row L2R Alfie Kennedy Danielle Williams Luc Owen Thuy Tran Elisa Mustafa Nicolle Reynolds Zoe Ward Narrell Raye Kieran Azzopardi Isaac McMillen Teachers Mrs Teresa Woods Mrs Angela Paschalidis Mrs Jann Turner Principal Mr Joe Vella 5154.02 - Albion State School 2001 Grade 2 3D 5154.02 - Albion State School 2001 Grade 2 3D Names Back Row L2R Melissa Hall James Schwencke Michael Nardella Tyson Stone Tarick Halaseh Jake Raye Kasey Davis Second Row L2R Jessica Nedelkovska Jade Burling Krystal Bogoevski Owen Malolo Billy Burrows Jayde Stanley Zorana Popovic Tiffany Smith Front Row L2R Nicole Williams Joshua Folino Amanda Mustafa Skakira Lever Laura Demicoli Jessica Heeps Ethan Morgan Luke Cleland Meyer Imran Clancy Rashid Absent Allyssa Leggerini Cavan Chen Teachers Miss Sandy Dennis Mrs Lorraine Farrugia Principal Mr Joe Vella 5154.03 - Albion State School 2001 Grade 3 4H 5154.03 - Albion State School 2001 Grade 3 4H Names Back Row L2R Daniel Kindred Callan Tishler Rachel Elliott David Kennedy Timothy McGrath Robert Reynolds Aidan Wileman Peter Mayne Second Row L2R Corine Markovic Rafael Protacio Cody Mayne Malgorzata Wasilewska Julie Rand Kelly Kennedy Dion Johnson Ladd John Merren Smart Front Row L2R Jennifer Williams Jennifer Truong Tony Tongpoon Ashley Skew Teagan Maguire Helen Ha Nicholas Davie Emily Folino Alisa Faingaanuku Tess The Dog Teacher Mrs Julie Hrovatin Principal Mr Joe Vella 5154.04 - Albion State School 2001 Grade 5 6H 5154.04 - Albion State School 2001 Grade 5 6H Names Back Row L2R Mitchell Pollard Sara Kindred Megan Montague Gul Resuloglu Jennifer Pucek Chantelle Noack Katherine ONeill Adam Stanley Second Row L2R James Durham Blake Cain Matthew Archer Justin Wemyss Brad Scott Binh Nguyen Matthew Gauci Garratt Stone Front Row L2R Cong Le Catherine Protacio Adis Husejnovic Patrick Geoghegan Caitlin Tippetd William Raye Anh Vu Meg McKinnon Robert Anderson Teacher Mr Wayne Haren Mrs Lorraine Farrugia Mrs Sandra Spurr Principal Mr Joe Vella 5154.06 - Albion State School 2001 Grade Prep 1B 5154.06 - Albion State School 2001 Grade Prep 1B Names Back Row L2R Brendan Stendt Nicholas Alexander Helena Guina Reece Mayne Jack Schofield Second Row L2R Melisa Husejnovic Meghan Douglas Christene Protacio Nathan Wineti Turde Ebony Wemyss Benjamin Britton Natalie coburn Annalise McMillan Front Row L2R Nhung Ha David Ung Kurtis Maguire Orlando Major Ashleigh Gauci Hayden Formossa Jayden Mamone Joshua Micallef Bethany Tippet Teacher Miss Elissa Barr Principal Mr Joe Vella 5154.07 - Albion State School 2001 Grade Prep 1G 5154.07 - Albion State School 2001 Grade Prep 1G Names Back Row L2R Milos Zarkovic My Bui Kristian Djulic Matthew McGrath Anthony Buttigieg Nicholas Burrows Jamie Megens Second Row L2R Aaron Mayne Luisa Malolo Carmen Rosca Kalista Uzelac Bojana Kakuca Jarrod Doherty Nikolce Blazeski Mile Ajder Emma Gruescu Front Row L2R Ashley Rattray Stephanie Nedelkovska David Tran Malea Culhane Saamu Luke DAlfonso Jessica Tawaf Naomi Truong Chelsea Lever Jennifer Ung Teachers Miss Marnie Galea Mrs Betty Batty Principal Mr Joe Vella 5154.08 - Albion State School 2001 House Captains 5154.09 - Albion State School 2001 JSC 5154.09 - Albion State School 2001 JSC Names Back Row L2R Reece Mayne Patrick Geoghegan Sara Kindred Rachel Elliott Samantha Williams Tim McGrath Thuy Vu Front Row L2R Nicole Williams Nikolce Blazeski Bojana Kakuca Zayne Duggan Ashleigh Gauci Amy Caruana Smith Minh Le Luke Cleland Meyer Isaac McMillen Teachers Miss Marnie Galea Miss Sandy Dennis Principal Mr Joe Vella 5154.10 - Albion State School 2001 Whole School 5154.11 - Albion State School 2001 Staff 5154.11 - Albion State School 2001 Staff Names Back Row L2R Lorraine Farrugia Sandy Dennis Julie Hrovatin John Milne Scott Garnsworthy Wayne Haren Angela Paschalidis Susan Carpenter Pat Porigneaux Front Row L2R Adrienne Erwood Jennifer Ryan Betty Batty Joe Vella Teresa Woods Elissa Barr Marnie Galea Absent Jann Turneralbion state school, albion primary school, adelaide street, albion
