By the average Australian teacher. Not in the classroom — on admin, compliance, and seven tools that don't talk to each other.
School OS is the unified platform replacing all of them. Built in Australia. Data that never leaves.
The problem
Average Australian teacher working week. 3rd highest in the OECD. Only 20 of those hours are actual teaching.
OECD Education at a Glance, 2024Admin, compliance reporting, lesson planning across disconnected tools. Time that could be spent on students.
Victorian Department of Education, 2024The cost of the current software stack. Seven tools. None built around student experience. None talking to each other.
School OS market analysis, 2025Any questions? [silence] Good. Moving on.
The silence means "I don't want to look stupid." Not "I understand." This is the most broken moment in every classroom in the world. We replaced it structurally — without forcing anyone to raise their hand.
The replacement
What schools pay today
School OS
All of the above, replaced. One login. Teacher-customised curriculum — not generic video content. AI that understands your exact syllabus. Attendance, emergency broadcast, document tools, game shows, and a student experience designed from first principles.
Break-even: 3 weeks. Annual saving: $45,000.
What it does
No roll call. No student clicking "I'm here." The moment a student opens School OS on the school network, their teacher sees them appear on a live seating map. One tap confirms the whole class. Compliance record generated automatically.
Passive detectionSocratic by design. Asks the question that leads to the answer — never provides it. Runs on the school's own server. Zero cost per query. Zero US data exposure.
Local AI + RAGIn a fire: not just "Jamie is in Room 12" — but their exact seat position. Pre-loaded on every device. Zero internet dependency. Works when everything else fails.
Life safetyA silent 3-tap comprehension check. Students respond anonymously. Teacher sees who is lost — by name and seat — without anyone raising their hand.
Anonymous signalsSchool OS runs on Australian sovereign infrastructure. The AI runs on a Mac Mini in your server room — not in a US data centre. Your students' data is never subject to the US CLOUD Act. Canvas, Google, and Microsoft cannot say this. We can.
Australian sovereigntyOne task fills the screen. Everything else hides. The student's digital environment is as focused as a good classroom should be.
Focus sessionsSix competitive formats — Sprint, Summit, Debate, Relay, Auction, Expert. Every question pulled from your teachers' own content. Not generic trivia.

"The emergency system alone is worth it. Right now I have no idea exactly where every student is in a fire. That's terrifying when you think about it."
— Secondary school teacher, Melbourne
"26 hours of admin a week is not an exaggeration. I stopped counting because it was too depressing. If something actually fixes that, I'm in."
— Head of English, regional Victoria
"The comprehension signal idea — a student anonymously saying they're lost — would change everything. I know half my class doesn't understand but they won't say it."
— Year 9 Maths teacher, Melbourne
Early access
Pilot schools get permanent early-access pricing and a direct line to the people building this. We're not looking for passive users — we want schools that want to build something together.
We'll be in touch personally when we're ready for pilot schools. Thank you for believing in this before it exists.
