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. 5144.01 - Albion State School 1991 Cricket Team 5144.01 - Albion State School 1991 Cricket Team Names Back Row L2R Damien McKenzie DeWayne Brizzi Nicholas Formosa Kemal Mustafa Brendan Chugg Andrew Parker Front Row L2R Matthew Wright Jason Cain Wesley Allender Brendan Franksen (Captain) Kevin Stafford Jason Cachia James Dimmick Marlene Blacker (Coach) Absent Bradley Rego Principal Mr Alan Jones 5144.02 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 1 2R 5144.02 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 1 2R Names Back Row L2R Maria Brown Tran Tram Rachel McGuire Jessica Brennan Kate Burrows Melissa Jude Sezen Adam Kim Duffy Mrs Sue Rossa Second Row L2R Dara Danh Neil Parker Clinton Duggan Luke Jones Luke Cormack Danny Todorovic Emanuel Carhat Ben Decis Macauley Goring Front Row L2R Nghi Nguyen Catherine Formosa Lauren Steers Helen Zingidiridis Kayte Whitlow Simon Farrugia Jacob Savage Sarah Nichols Hayley Every Absent Natasha Sterio Teacher Mrs Sue Rossa Principal Mr Alan Jones 5144.03 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 1 2V 5144.03 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 1 2V Names Back Row L2R YAnh Tran Nghiem Tram Michelle Baker Kylie Skew Kenny Hipworth William John Ravinder Shah Steven White Second Row L2R Luke McComb Edin Karastanovic Luke Skipper Maninder Singh Jarema Bogdanowicz Alicia Mahu Ebony Batty Timothy Perry Joy Prado Front Row L2R Brent Davis Diana Carhat Mirjana Marek Steven Fabb John Dimmick Christos Zingiridis Melissa Bavage Andrea Gonzalez Jennifer Keane Travis Williams Teacher Miss Ann Verzak Principal Mr Alan Jones 5144.04 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 3 4M 5144.04 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 3 4M Names Back Row L2R Ginni Auluck Suzanna Zvizdalo Shelley Duggan Paul Powell Major OBoyle David Loft Joshua Mitchell Simon Taskov Ozan Beyit Second Row L2R Matthew Davis Ashley Oliver Hollie Brennan Natasha Loft Jakup Jakupo Tania Todorovic Tony Tevelein Rebecca Parker Jesus Pancottie Front Row L2R Timonthy Meilak Renee Farrugia Yasodi Amarasinghe Drew Giblin Okan Beyit David Christopoulos Lee Howard Casey Schuliga Tuan Nguyen Absent Elana Sterio Kelly Barham Teachers Miss Maria Micallef Mr Geoff Gallaway Principal Mr Alan Jones 5144.05 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 3 4S 5144.05 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 3 4S Names Back Row L2R Mrs Vicki Morris Andrew Formosa Richard Awad Daniel Simic Kenneth Smith Joanne Billsborrow Sherrie Skew Kellie White Trevor Gray Luke Bond Mr Neil Spurrell Second Row L2R Justin Tevelein Steve Taleski Belinda Sims Dimitra Kolokotsas Natalie Pancotti Front Row L2R Sarah Alderton Jillian Allender Adam Souter Jeremy Bond Alwin Laysico Jason Witcombe Michael Chajter Jodie Layton Sara Christopoulos Teachers Mrs Vicki Morris Mr Neil Spurrell Principal Mr Alan Jones 5144.06 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 5 6C 5144.06 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 5 6C Names Back Row L2R Mr Trevor Jury Andrew Parker John Tran Brendan Chugg Stella Ostric Stuart Hicks Rene McKee Drew Russell Mr Steve Crossley Second Row L2R Kevin Stafford Zoran Majkic Damien McKenzie Katrina Williams April Keane Rebecca Wilson Daniel Harabor Wesley Allender Front Row L2R James Dimmick Dragan Milic Herve Tran Belinda Giblin Tanya Smith DeWayne Brizzi Ricky Every Ana Marek Absent Emma Christopoulos Jr Alaan Teacher Mr Steve Crossley Principal Mr A Jones 5144.07 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 5 6H 5144.07 - Albion State School 1991 Grade 5 6H Names Back Row L2R Sarah Hobson William Layton Daniel Canuti William KcKee Michael Thompson Mark Ly Kemal Mustafa Orienn White Steven Zander Arvino Shah Second Row L2R Lisa Duffy Nicholas Formosa Jenny Dimmick Melanie Kelson Leslie Gulan Christopher Huynh William Wilson Julietter Judge Christian Berbecaru Front Row L2R Matthew Wright Brendan Franksen Silviya Miladinovic Amber Whitlow Kelly McKenzie Zilha Karastanovic Jason Cain Jason Cachia Sonai Gauci Lance Harland Absent Thao Le Teacher Helen Hardy Principal Mr Alan Jones 5144.08 - Albion State School 1991 Staff 5144.08 - Albion State School 1991 Staff Names Back Row L2R Niel Spurrell Trevor Jury Stephen Crossley Andrea Murray Second Row L2R Vicki Morris Janet Veale Sue Rossa Ann Verzak Jann Turner Front Row L2R Joy Farrell Helen Hardy Lesley Chugg Marlene Blacker Alan Jones Lorna Stainer Maria Micallef Lorraine Farrugia Absent Lorna Stainer Maria Micallef Lorraine Farrugia albion state school, albion primary school, adelaide street, albion
