Question 1

How does ACT School Reports ensure compliance with ACT Education Directorate standards?

Accepted Answer

Our AI models are specifically trained on official ACT Education Directorate reporting guidelines, ACT Education Directorate Reporting System requirements, and the Australian Curriculum. We regularly update our training data to reflect changes in curriculum and reporting standards. However, all generated comments should be reviewed by you as the qualified educator to ensure they accurately reflect your students' individual performance and meet your school's specific requirements.

Question 2

Will comments work for my specific subject and year level?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We support all year levels from Kindergarten to Year 12, including senior secondary courses. Our platform covers all curriculum areas and elective subjects commonly taught in Australian Capital Territory schools. We also provide specialized support for EAL/D students, students with disability, and VET reporting requirements.

Question 3

Do the comments use the correct Australian Capital Territory achievement scale?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our AI understands the A-E and descriptive scales used in Australian Capital Territory schools and generates comments appropriate to each achievement level. For Kindergarten, we focus on effort and progress without grades. For secondary years, we align comments with syllabus outcomes and curriculum standards. The platform automatically adjusts the tone and content based on the achievement level you specify.

Question 4

Can I use this for students with special needs or EAL/D students?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have built-in support for students with diverse learning needs. For EAL/D students, our AI incorporates the EAL/D Learning Progression and phases (Beginning through Consolidating). For students with disability, we focus on personalised learning goals and adjustments. For VET students, we use competency-based language (Competent/Not Yet Competent) and industry terminology.

Question 5

Is using this tool considered 'cheating' by my principal?

Accepted Answer

No, think of us like a sophisticated spell-checker for professional feedback. You provide the student context, achievement level, and teaching observations. We help with the wording. You review, edit, and approve every single comment before it goes anywhere. The professional judgment is yours; we just save you the time of finding the right words at 9pm on a Sunday. Many schools already use comment banks and templates, and this is simply a smarter, more personalised version of that same approach.

Question 6

How much time can I realistically save using this platform?

Accepted Answer

Teachers using the platform consistently report cutting their report writing time in half. A typical teacher might spend 30+ hours writing comments for 90-120 students. With our platform, that time reduces to review and personalisation. The exact time saved depends on class size, subjects taught, and your editing preferences.

Question 7

How does the AI generate comments? What information do I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

You provide basic information about each student: their first name, year level, subject, achievement level, and optional teacher notes about specific achievements or areas for development. Our AI then generates a personalised comment that follows Australian Capital Territory reporting best practices: starting with positive achievements, describing specific skills and knowledge, and providing constructive guidance for improvement. You can then edit and refine the comment before finalizing it.

Question 8

Can I customize or edit the generated comments?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We strongly encourage editing and personalization. The AI provides a professional, compliant foundation, but you know your students best. You can edit any part of the comment, regenerate with different parameters, or use the comment as inspiration while writing your own. Think of it as a highly intelligent starting point that respects your professional judgment.

Question 9

Does the platform remember my students from term to term?

Accepted Answer

We do not store real student identities. Use codes or nicknames (e.g. A17, Blue-3, Ella-Maths) — you know who that is; we do not. We store only teacher-created, de-identified workspace data. You can export drafts and copy-paste into your school's official system. Any continuity is managed by you; we never touch real student records.

Question 10

What browsers and devices are supported?

Accepted Answer

Our platform works on all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and devices. We have a responsive design that works on desktops, tablets, and smartphones. There's no software to install - everything runs in your web browser.

Question 11

Is my data secure and private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We do not store any personal student information — only teacher-created, de-identified workspace data. Our platform is designed for de-identified data only; do not enter real student names or personal details. We comply with applicable privacy legislation in your jurisdiction and ACT Education Directorate requirements. Workspace data is encrypted at rest. We never use your workspace data to train AI in a way that identifies real children, and we never share it with third parties.

Question 12

What kind of support do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer email support Monday-Friday during business hours.

Question 13

How does the pricing work?

Accepted Answer

We offer flexible pricing plans based on your needs. Get 10 free comments on signup — no credit card required. Additional tokens are available in packs: 50 tokens ($10), 150 tokens ($20), or 500 tokens ($60). Tokens never expire, so you only pay when it's report time.

Question 14

Is there a free trial available?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You get 10 free comments when you sign up — no credit card required. This allows you to test the platform with your actual students and see the time savings firsthand before purchasing additional tokens.

Question 15

Do tokens expire?

Accepted Answer

No, tokens never expire. Unlike subscriptions that charge you monthly, you only buy tokens when you need them. If you don't use all your tokens this reporting period, they'll be there next time. No recurring charges, no wasted money.
