Written by an AI briefed on Australian Curriculum reporting. It only uses what you tell it about the student.

In short

A good report comment names what the student can do, gives one piece of evidence, and sets one clear next step, in plain language a parent understands. The AI Report Comment Writer turns your year level, learning area, A–E level, strengths and next steps into several polished, personalised comments in seconds, using [Name] and the pronoun you choose.

How to use the ai report comment writer

  1. 1

    Set the basics

    Choose the year level (Foundation/Prep to Year 10), the learning area and the achievement level: A to E, or the standard language your school uses, such as above, at, working towards or below the expected level.

  2. 2

    Add what you know

    Type two or three strengths and one or two next steps in your own shorthand, such as 'fluent reader, uses inference well' or 'needs to show working in multi-step problems'. Specific notes give specific comments.

  3. 3

    Pick tone and pronoun

    Choose a tone (warm, balanced or formal), a length and a pronoun. The writer uses [Name] as a placeholder so no student's name has to leave your computer.

  4. 4

    Choose, edit, paste

    You get several different versions. Pick the one that sounds most like you, adjust a word or two, and paste it into your school's reporting system with the student's first name in place of [Name].

How the AI Report Comment Writer works

Report comments take time because every one has to be accurate, specific and readable, and you're writing 25 to 150 of them in the same fortnight. The writer handles the drafting. You supply the judgement: the grade, what the student showed you this semester and what they need next. It builds comments around the structure that works in Australian reports: a clear statement of achievement against the year-level expectation, one or two specific strengths, and a concrete next step a parent could support at home.

It writes to the achievement level you give it. An A comment talks about extensive knowledge and applying skills in new situations; a C comment describes sound, solid achievement at the expected standard; a D or E comment is honest about the gap and puts the emphasis on the next step and the support in place. Our guide to report card comments in Australia explains that structure in detail.

An example input and output

Worked example

What you type

Year level
Year 4
Learning area
Mathematics
Achievement level
B (above the expected standard)
Strengths
quick with multiplication facts, explains strategies, good at word problems
Next steps
fractions on a number line; checking answers
Tone and pronoun
Warm, she/her

Shorthand is fine. The writer never adds a strength or result you didn't give it.

You'd typically get several versions like this one, varied in length and wording so a class set doesn't read as copy and paste. Change anything you like before you use it.

Privacy: what to enter and what to leave out

Treat any online tool the way your department's privacy rules ask you to. The writer is built so you don't need to enter identifying information at all.

Safe to enter

  • The [Name] placeholder (the default) or, at most, a first name
  • Year level, learning area and achievement level
  • Learning strengths and next steps in general terms
  • Effort, organisation and participation notes in general terms

The Australian Framework for Generative AI in Schools, agreed by education ministers in 2023, puts privacy and teacher accountability at its centre, and state departments publish their own rules on which tools staff may use with student information. Check your school's policy before you start. Our guide on how to write reports faster covers a privacy-safe workflow.

It never invents achievement

The writer only describes what you tell it. It won't make up a test score, a book the student read, a project or a behaviour. If your notes are thin, the comment will be general, and it will say so rather than fill the gap with something that sounds good but isn't true. You remain the author of the report: read every comment before it goes home, because a parent will take it as your professional judgement.

Free set and full access

Your first set of comments is free, so you can see whether the style suits your school. Full access is a one-off A$19.99 for 12 months of unlimited use, covering both semester reports and any interim or progress reports in between. There's no subscription to cancel.

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI Report Comment Writer free?
Your first set of comments is free. After that, a one-off payment of A$19.99 gives you 12 months of unlimited use, which covers both semester reports. There is no subscription.
Does it work for A–E reporting?
Yes. You choose A, B, C, D or E, or the plain-language equivalent your school uses (such as above, at, approaching or below the expected standard), and the comment is pitched to that level using Australian Curriculum style language.
Will every student get the same comment?
No. Each comment is built from the strengths and next steps you enter, and you get several versions with different wording and lengths, so comments across a class don't read as identical.
Do I need to enter student names?
No. The writer uses [Name] as a placeholder, which you replace with the student's first name when you paste it into your reporting system. Never enter surnames or sensitive information.
Can it write comments for students below the standard?
Yes. For D and E levels it writes honest, kind comments that state where the student is, acknowledge effort and progress, and focus on a specific next step and the support in place, without vague or discouraging language.
Does it work for Victorian reports?
Yes. Victorian government schools report a teacher judgement against the Victorian Curriculum on a five-point scale, which may not use A–E letters, so choose the plain-language level (for example, at or above the expected level) and the comment will follow.
Can it write general or pastoral comments?
Yes. Choose General comment as the learning area to write overall comments about effort, organisation, social skills, behaviour and wellbeing, for Prep to Year 6 or secondary homegroups.
Is it allowed to use AI to write school reports?
It depends on your employer. Most departments allow approved tools if no personal or sensitive information is entered and the teacher reviews and owns every comment. Check your school's policy before you use any AI tool for reports.
