The centres fitness gym has moved to a new, much larger room in the campus and has a host of brand new equipment. The campus's outdoor grass, clay and astroturf pitches are all available for public use out of school time.
The campus has two large three court PE halls, a moderately sized swimming pool, two squash courts, a large dance theatre and a cinema style assembly hall capable of Blu-ray projection and theatre style drama productions.
The campus is situated on the south-eastern edge of Crieff with outlooks across the town to the mountains of the north and west and across the rich farmland of the Strathearn Valley to the south and east.
