Albion North Primary School, Sunshine North, VIC

Established in 1962, Albion North Primary School is situated in a residential area of Sunshine North, approximately 10km west of the CBD. During recent times there has been a significant renewal of the school buildings, which now have bright, modern teaching and learning spaces with excellent technology resources. Students regularly engage with technology as part of the learning environment. All members of the school community are encouraged to be actively involved in the learning partnership that will enable children to reach their full potential in a caring and positive environment. The school has a pleasant appearance with spacious playing areas which include grassed playing fields, games courts, a covered outdoor play area, an adventure playground, jumping pits, shady garden areas, vegetable garden, orchard and an enclosed courtyard.
