The school is located in the Heritage listed St Marys building of the Abbotsford Convent artistic and historic precinct and overlooks a bend of the Yarra River and the Collingwood Children's Farm.

The School site is located approximately 4 km from the Melbourne City Centre and is well served by public transport (Bus and Train) and is on the main Yarra Bike Path.

In December 2011, the School was granted approval to build four classrooms and to convert a disused swimming pool into a playground and meeting area.

Up until 2010 the school offered a combined, ungraded VCE with a Steiner course for students in Years 11 and 12 which included a year-long research project of their choosing.

This will be designed to provide a flexible learning framework tailored by the school to meet the individual needs of students, the local community and the world beyond.
