Ajuga School is a government school located in Glenfield, NSW. The school operates as part of the Hilltop Community of Schools collaborative, alongside Campbell House School and Glenfield Park School, reflecting a shared commitment to coordinated learning across the local area. The school's specialist offerings span several distinct areas: High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE), Aboriginal Education, Pathways and Reintegration, and trauma-informed education. These specialisms speak to the breadth of student needs the school addresses, from extending high-achieving learners to supporting students who require flexible re-engagement with formal schooling. Ajuga School's strategic priorities align closely with its specialist focus, with HPGE, Aboriginal Education, Attendance, and Pathways all identified as central areas of ongoing work. The emphasis on both Attendance and Pathways suggests the school serves students for whom consistent engagement with education is an active goal rather than an assumption.
