Facilities
The senior site has a modern two story building, which was constructed after the fire of 2003, along with a number of art buildings and portables. (Most of the Light Timber Construction buildings were demolished after the fire). The junior site consisted of 3 blocks and had one school oval, all were connected with covered walkways. But in 2009 Mount Waverley Secondary College was given 10.1 million dollars from the government. They spent most of this money on two brand new buildings on the Junior site. Currently the first is finished and the second is underway . The junior school converted its library to the office block and put in multiple new portable classrooms including the current library, a robotics lab and a few multi-purpose classrooms. Students in both 7 and 8 currently have Food Technology classes at the senior site and a few general portable classrooms are also at the senior site for the junior school students.
The school also hosts the 200 seat Unicorn Theatre facility, two libraries, and two gymnasiums. The school also leases from the historic trust the historic Lower Homebush State School #2258 in Avoca, Western Victoria. The school was closed in 1967, and reopened as the Lower Homebush Campus in 1996 as a school camp.
