[5] In October 1960 tenders were opened for the construction of a new high school, to be built at the present location at O'Sullivan Road, to replace the Nissen huts.

[7] The Nayook campus is now run by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD), catering to over 3000 Victorian students,[8] with continued use by Glen Waverley Secondary College.

[18] In 2003, the school was part of a joint scientific experiment with RMIT University and Melbourne Zoo in collaboration with space agencies (NASA, BioServe and SpaceHAB) which involved sending spiders to space.

The resulting research by RMIT University was published in the Science in School journal.

[22] Additionally, in 2010 and 2011 the College was the top performing non-selective or specialist state school in Victoria.

The College's students also performed above average on the standardised National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy tests, for all areas.
