In addition to its four main classroom wings, the campus also has centres for dance and drama,[2] music,[5] and science,[6] as well as a large multi-purpose gymnasium.

[2] Its grounds are approximately 75,000 square metres (810,000 sq ft) and encompass a number of sports pitches as well as a hobby farm.

The schools served a growing demand for secondary education in the suburbs of Frankston North, Carrum Downs and Seaford.

During this time, an Australian Defence Force/Victorian Government housing estate was being expanded in Frankston North,[7] a post-World War II Brotherhood of St Laurence farming settlement was being redeveloped in Carrum Downs,[8] and new home construction was progressing in the suburb of Seaford.

Multi-purpose gymnasiums were constructed at each campus and basketball and tennis courts and football and soccer fields were laid on their respective grounds.

[5] By the early-1990s, attendance at technical schools in the state of Victoria had declined dramatically as students began to strive for academic achievement rather than for learning a trade.

The latter was eventually closed at the end of 1995 and has since been redeveloped into the Monterey Community Park—with a cycling and walking trail, playground, skate park and sports pitches now in place.

[2] Its existing art studios, science labs, technology workshops and theatrette rooms were also upgraded and a hobby farm was added to the grounds.

[14][15] Since 2015, the winning artwork of the exhibition has been selected for the permanent collection of law firm Gilbert + Tobin and displayed in their Melbourne offices.

[13] The Academy develops the sporting ability and health sciences knowledge of students through its access to elite-level coaches, sportspeople and facilities.

[3][4] As a Beacon Model school, it also provides leadership opportunities to students who choose to undertake the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning through partner organisations that include: Chisholm Institute and CIMIC Group.
