September 15–20, 2025
Dear Albion Families,
This past week, our students have been settling into their new classes and learning their new routines. A reminder to families: if you have any questions regarding your child, or important information to share with your child’s teacher, please schedule an appointment to discuss. At Albion, we believe working together ensures the best possible start to the school year.
📌 Save the Date!
Our PAC has organized a Back-to-School BBQ on Thursday, September 25 from 4–6 pm. Teachers will open their classroom doors from 5–6 pm so students can proudly share their new classrooms. We hope to see you there!
🚴♂️ Cops for Cancer – TOUR DE COAST
We are thrilled to announce that Cops for Cancer will be stopping at Albion on Wednesday, September 17 at 9:35 am! Last year’s event was inspiring, and we’re excited to be part of it again.
As a participating school, we will be raising funds to support children and families living with cancer.
To support the team and their raising $620,000 to help support Paediatric Cancer Research and support programs, we are asking all students to please bring in $2.00, as our hope is to raise a total of $1000.00 to help them reach this goal!
If we are able to raise $1000.00, Mrs. Dailey and Mrs. von Krogh will dye their hair very funky colours!

Thank you for your generosity!
