St Albans Meadows Primary School

Brisbane Private Schools introduces St Albans Meadows Primary School in St Albans, for all your education and learning needs.

St. Albans Meadows P.S., which was established in 1980 is situated in the City of Brimbank, approximately fifteen kilometres to the west of Melbourne, just beyond the Western Ring Road. The community, which is somewhat isolated by the Ring Road and other major roads, is dominated by the Grantham Green housing estate which is now quite well established.

Many young families occupy houses in the estate and the majority of their children attend our school. Some students also attend the school from as far afield as Sydenham. St. Albans Meadows has a high reputation as a caring and progressive school and parents of students with gifted academic ability, learning difficulties and/or behavioural problems, in particular, choose the school because of the quality of its educational and welfare programs.

The school enjoys excellent relations with Sunshine Park Kindergarten, the source of most of our prep enrolments. The school is very poorly serviced by public transport so it runs its own bus service to accommodate the students.
Enrolment trends showed growth from 270 children in 1998 to 363 children in 2011. Enrolments are expected to remain fairly stable at the 360 plus students mark. 77% of the students are from non-English speaking backgrounds (NESB) and 35% of these students are of Vietnamese descent. The NESB students represent a wide range of nationalities, linguistic groups and cultures.
