The site of the Ajana School has historic significance as evidence of the development of the Northampton district. Combined with the other school sites, this place reveals the effect of centralisation of education as well as the changing settlement patterns of the area.
The first school at Ajana was located at the Croton Well Reserve No.4670 and opened on 2 December 1912. By 1916, low enrolments threatened the school's closure. Local families proposed that the school be moved and in 1917 the building was relocated to VL4668 on F.A. Porter's property. The school building was moved for a third time in 1928 to Reserve No. 19916. The building was used up until 1942 when classes were transferred to the Ajana Hall (Site No.15). The site is marked by a Bicentennial commemorative plaque.
