Ajuga School
Welcome to Ajuga School, where wellbeing meets learning, and growth begins with courage and connection.
The Ajuga School Difference
Bravery Starts Here
Every journey begins with courage. Our students show bravery each time they take a step forward, trusting our team, exploring their emotions, and choosing to grow. Together, we honour that first brave step.
Connection Creates Change
Meaningful growth happens through authentic connection. Built on gratitude, kindness, and trust, our relationships nurture belonging and support healing. Through connection, students learn that they are seen, valued, and never alone.
Growth Sparks Possibility
Growth is our shared goal and greatest reward. Through guided reflection, goal setting, and persistence, students discover their strengths and reach new possibilities. Each moment of growth shapes a brighter future.

Principal's message
Ajuga School is more than just a place of learning; it is a community of curious students, passionate educators, and supportive families and carers working together to create rich pathways for our students beyond our school.
As a highly specialised educational setting, we are in the unique position to be able to tailor all of our programs towards our students' individual needs. Our programs are innovative, backed by evidence, and support the wellbeing and academic needs of our students. I am committed to working with our talented team of educators to ensure that every student at Ajuga School has access to the best possible educational opportunities.
I warmly welcome you to discover what makes Ajuga School an inclusive, caring, and stimulating learning environment, underpinned by neuroscience and trauma-responsive approaches, where every student feels safe and has space to explore the attributes of Courage, Connection, and Growth that form our Ajuga values.
Yours in continued partnership
Leah Smileski, Principal of Ajuga School
