Specialist Programs

Learning at Albert Street
At Moe (Albert Street) Primary School, our purposeful planning for learning is based on the numeracy and literacy data collected as per our prep-6 assessment schedule as well as pupil free assessment days held before the beginning of the school year. Extensive interviews are held with each new family to ensure the student is appropriately placed with staff and students and their social and academic needs meet

Albert St Primary School comprises of Junior unit (P-2) and a Middle/Senior unit (years 3-6) based around collaborative teaching and learning. Health & Physical Education and Visual Art and Music are also taught across the school.

Our curriculum allows every student the opportunity to develop goals, experience success, and identify opportunities for further learning. It is through the development of the whole person – the intellectual, physical, emotional and social dimensions – that an Albert Street Primary School student can dare to dream and reach their potential in society.

Library
Albert Street offers library as part of its specialist programs. Students visit the library each week to exchange books, research using our computer bank as well as learn about general library usage. Each year our students participate in an Albert Street Primary School Reading Challenge, celebrate book week and we also hold major events such as Book Fair.

Digital Technology

Melissa Lia is our Digi-Tech teacher and is working on a variety of activities to increase student knowledge around Internet Safety. Our younger students have also been learning how to use Microsoft Office Applications such as PowerPoint, Word, and Paint. The older children have thoroughly enjoyed creating comics and digital classrooms through Pixton and learning how to code through other programs such as Scratch.

This picture is one of our digital classrooms from the middle unit. We have been learning how to keep our personal details private, including pictures of ourselves, so we created avatars as one of our classroom activities.

Visual Arts

Joanne Fraser is our Visual Arts teacher and loves inspiring students from Foundation to Year 6 to explore, imagine, experiment and create! Our Visual Arts program provides exciting hands-on opportunities for students to discover their creativity while developing skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, sculpture and mixed media.

Students explore the work of artists from different cultures, places and times, experiment with a wonderful variety of materials and techniques, and learn that there are many different ways to express ideas through art. From colourful paintings and imaginative sculptures to collaborative whole-school artworks, students are encouraged to take creative risks, try new things and feel proud of what they create.

Our school comes alive with student artwork displayed and celebrated - making Visual Arts a colourful, creative and joyful part of life at Moe Albert Street Primary School!

Community Garden
If you have an interest in gardening, this program is for you. We have an established Community garden where teachers, and students plant harvest and cook together.

Children learn about sustainability, planting and work with our partners Latrobe Community Health and Rotary.

Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program

We are excited to be part of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program, giving our students the opportunity to learn about growing, harvesting, preparing and enjoying fresh, seasonal food.

Through our Kitchen Garden Program, students are involved in hands-on learning experiences in our school garden and outdoor kitchen. They learn where food comes from, how to grow and care for fresh produce, and how the ingredients they harvest can be transformed into delicious meals.

The program is about much more than gardening and cooking. Students develop practical life skills while building their confidence, teamwork, independence and understanding of healthy food choices. It also provides wonderful opportunities to connect learning across areas such as science, sustainability, mathematics, literacy and health.

One of the highlights is seeing students experience the complete garden-to-plate journey: planting a tiny seed, caring for it as it grows, harvesting the produce, preparing a meal and, of course, enjoying the results together!

We are proud to provide our students with these meaningful, hands-on learning experiences and look forward to sharing more of what is growing and cooking in our Kitchen Garden throughout the year.
