An article appeared in the Greenhills Community News seeking those interested in participating in such a society. A meeting was held in the home of Ron Reynolds on 15th July 1970 with approx. 20 people attending.Two tone light and dark brown cover with artists palette design on the front and sketch of Greensborough Primary School on rear coverOriginal owner written in pencil as June Hall arts society, ron reynolds, diamond valley art awards, digby watson, roland schultz, maria schultz, murray pulford, jan lowe, diamond valley arts society

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. 5130.01 - Albion State School 1978 Grade 3R 5130.01 - Albion State School 1978 Grade 3R Names Back Row L2R Stephen Perrow Unknown Unknown Matthew Phillips Second Row L2R Unknown Unknown Unknown Craig Kirby Unknown Darren Balboni Graeme Anderson Unknown Greg Wilsen Darren Williams Third Row L2R Unknown Unknown Lee Causon Unknown Kim Heaviside Annette Hartman Teacher Kerri Ferguson Unknown Front Row L2R Unknown Unknown Schultz Unknown Karen Briggs Unknown Unknown 5130.02 - Albion State School 1978 Grade 4T 5130.02 - Albion State School 1978 Grade 4T Names Back Row L2R Unknown Unknown Jenny Miller Susanne Phillips Sandra Cipriani Camille Hatzogorgio Jeanette Spiteri Alison Wilson Ann Slettery Tracey Nelson Second Row L2R Dianne Temporsthammer Julie Pete Lina Emery Valya Juchima Mrs Temby Maria Attard Barbara Danchuk Jackie Green Sharon Farugia Front Row David Sultana Scott Keating Harry Chatermernidies Ross Vines Unknown Bruce Marchment Dean Chambers Colin Phillips Darren Speeding Gary James 5130.03 - Albion State School 1978 Grade Prep F 5130.04 - Albion State School 1978 Grade 5 6D 5130.05 - Albion State School 1978 Grade 3 4S albion state school, albion primary school, adelaide street, albion
