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. 5103.01 - Albion State School 1937 Grade 1 and 2 5103.01 - Albion State School 1937 Grade 1 and 2 Names Back Row L2R Unknown George Unknown Bill Dickie Keith Narborough Wally Lawrence Kevin James John Hall Unknown Barry McKay Bertie Noble 2nd Row L2R Eddite Penterick Jean Duncan Josie Gahan Elaine Wilson Lorraine Brown Joy Fisher Beth Powell Vilma Hayes Mavis Cameron Albert Powerlett 3rd Row L2R Les Trickey Cynthia Strachan Beryl Phillips Joan Unknown Dorothy Long Margaret Baker Val Doherty Pat Robinson Brian Allen Front Row L2R Jan Mollison Alan Cockrane Syd Smith Ron Masson Alan Jenkins Graeme Lee Keith Reyland Unknown Unknown Alf Richer 5103.02 - Albion State School 1937 Grade 3 4 5103.03 - Albion State School 1937 Grade 5 6 5103.03 - Albion State School 1937 Grade 5 6 Names Back Row L2R Gordon Durham Harry Rhodes Ron Afflick Gordon Barnard Victor Weaver Ivan McBride Eric McKenzie Don Durham Eric Wegdon Jack McKay Jack Trickey 2nd Row L2R John Scott Cecelia Kellett Joan Montgomery Eileen Jenkins Lorraine Gorman Phyllis Mills Iris Hall Laura Narborough Marie Keogh Betty Shuffery Patricia Hayden Norma Close 3rd Row L2R May Schleebs Pat Mollison Mary Cockeraine Thelma Washington Doris Marchant Hilda Thomas Elizabeth Foxcroft Heather Gorman Shirley Hayes Marjory Thompson Dorothy Lowe Bonnie Dickie Mavis Judd Judith Powell Bernard Doherty 4th Row L2R Gordon Paton Sam Maloney Ken Barnard Austin Cairns Gerald Pemberton Billy Clark Bill Markham Maurice Canlishaver Bobby Dean Ivan Lowe Malcolm Cockrane Dexter Turner John Machin Front Row L2R Ken Pearce Don Jackson Ronny Stevens Jack Phelp Dick Hodge Keith Higgins Drummond Perkins Edwin MacMurray Ernie McBridge Keith Block Billy Lawson Brian Wright Peter Stuart Headmaster Mr Roach Teacher Miss Ashford 5103.04 - Albion State School 1937 Prep 5103.04 - Albion State School 1937 Prep Names Back Row L2R Ken Brown Les Heffer Ian Stephenson Geoff Afflick Unknown Unknown Jim Sutherland Unknown Ian McBean Doug Pyers Peter Buckingham Centre Row L2R Unknown Leila Heffer Celia Banks Unknown Unknown Mary Hall June Markham Heather Neish Bev Mollison June White Shirley Black Unknown Leila Heffer Bill Wilson Miss White Front Row L2R Roy Paton Ron Hill Laurie Mottin George Thomas Don Powlett Albert Hayden Unknown Max Richer Unknown Unknown 5103.05 - Albion State School 1937 Inspectors Report on Miss Catt albion state school, albion primary school, adelaide street, albion
