Welcome to Albanvale Primary School!
At Albanvale Primary School we believe that all students, staff and parents should be able to work together in a Learning Community that provides a safe, warm, friendly and stimulating environment. We have a strong sense of purpose behind all activities. That is: We are here to help each other learn, grow and succeed, taking advantage of diverse pathways to success.
Albanvale provides a wide range of opportunities for students to succeed through a variety of high quality programs. Along with our strong focus on the development of high level skills in Literacy and Numeracy, our other programs on offer include our Learning Centre, which focuses on oral language development, learning exploration and developmental play across the school. We also offer Sport and Physical Education, Visual Arts, Instrumental Music, a strong focus on Literacy supported by our Library program, Information and Communication Technologies and our Active After School Program.
The culture and environment at Albanvale is warm and friendly. We value the input of our community and we strongly encourage our parents and family members to become involved in their children’s schooling in any way that they feel comfortable.
Please enjoy browsing our website and take note of the wonderful work that our children produce. Please feel free to call the school if you are seeking an enrolment or more information about our wonderful school.
