Frequently asked questions

Questions, answered plainly.

The things parents ask most often — about the program, the free week, billing, and how feedback and AI work. If your question isn’t here, a person is one message away.

The program & how it works

What year levels does WritePath cover?

Year 5 through Year 12, as one continuous program. It runs in two stages — Foundations (Years 5–10) and Applications (Years 11–12) — and the move between them happens automatically, with no new sign-up or purchase.

What does a typical week look like?

In Foundations, your child completes one short module each weekday — reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar and peer assessment — roughly 10 to 35 minutes depending on the module. In Applications, the week is three longer sessions built around one substantial article. You can see the full picture on How it works.

How much time does it take each day?

A single module a weekday — usually 10 to 35 minutes. Each module has a defined start and finish, so your child always leaves a session with something complete rather than something half-done.

Is this a replacement for school?

No — it is a complement to school. The WritePath curriculum is designed in alignment with Australian curriculum outcomes for written English, and it adds what school cannot do at scale: detailed, individual feedback on writing, every week.

The free week & getting started

What exactly is the free first week?

It is one full weekly cycle of the real program — the actual modules, with the actual personalised feedback. Not a demo or a sample reel. It lets you and your child see what a structured week is really like before deciding anything.

Do I need to enter a credit card to start the free week?

No. The free week needs no credit card, has no time limit, and there is no automatic charge when it ends. If you decide to continue, you choose to subscribe — nothing happens by default.

How do I start the free week?

Choose your child’s year level and complete a short three-question form — your email, your child’s first name, and their year. Pick a band to begin from the year levels on the homepage.

What happens when the free week ends?

Nothing automatic. If you would like to continue, you subscribe to a plan; if not, the account simply does not convert. There is no charge and no obligation either way.

Billing & plans

What does it cost?

One membership covers the whole program — all eight years, both Daily Success and Trio Journals. It can be billed monthly or yearly; the current prices are on the program page.

What is the difference between monthly and yearly?

The program is identical either way. Yearly is billed once and costs less overall; monthly is billed each month, with no commitment beyond the month you are in.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Whichever plan you choose, you can cancel from your account at any time — no phone call, no waiting.

What happens right after I subscribe?

You will get an order confirmation, then a short form to register your child — their name and email — so their feedback can be set up. Sign-in is passwordless: an emailed code, or one tap with Google.

Feedback, AI & safety

How is feedback given — and do parents see it?

Within minutes of each submission, personalised feedback reaches your child — and the same feedback reaches you, by email, at the same moment. There is no dashboard to log into; the program keeps you in the loop by default. If more than one child is on your account, all their feedback is delivered to the single feedback email set on your account — feedback isn’t split across different addresses.

Does WritePath use AI?

Yes. WritePath uses AI to help produce learning content and to assess open-answer responses, working within human-designed curriculum and feedback frameworks. The pedagogy and curriculum architecture are human design decisions, and students always produce their own writing — AI does not generate answers for the student.

Is the content age-appropriate?

Yes. Content, feedback and communication are designed to suit the age of each student at every year level. More detail on content, child safety and data handling is on the Trust & Safety page.

Is the writing feedback a definitive grade?

No. Writing feedback is one informed assessor’s view of one piece of writing — it is intended to teach, not to grade definitively. Different markers, including human markers, may emphasise different things. If feedback ever looks wrong, you can reply and a person will review it.

Still wondering?

If your question isn’t here, just ask.
