The school campus is located alongside the nation's largest water village known as Kampong Ayer, close to the capital, Bandar Seri Begawan. Kampong Ayer is a settlement situated on the Brunei River. The school has celebrated its silver jubilee at the end of 2008.
Sekolah Menengah Awang Semaun - famously known by the acronym SMAS, was built in 1983. The national curriculum is taught to students entering Year 7 through to Year 11.
