Questions, answered plainly.

Year 5 through Year 12, as one continuous program. The move from Foundations (Years 5–10) to Applications (Years 11–12) happens automatically — no new sign-up, no new purchase.

In Foundations (Years 5–10) your child does one module each weekday, and the five build on each other across the week — reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, peer assessment and the writing task, so by Friday the week has gone somewhere.

In Applications (Years 11–12) the week changes shape: three longer sessions built around one substantial article, ending in a full planned and revised extended essay.

The whole cycle is laid out on How it works.

One module a weekday. The time a module takes varies a great deal — by year level, by module type, and by the student. Each module has a defined start and finish, so your child works through one piece of work and stops, rather than working to a clock. A senior week is three sessions built around that week’s article.

Extra, and deliberately so. WritePath is built to do the one thing school cannot do at scale: give a child detailed, individual feedback on their own writing, every single week. A classroom teacher with thirty students cannot mark thirty extended pieces a week, however good they are.

The material is the material their school is already asking of them — taught properly, at their year level, one piece at a time.

One membership covers the whole program — every year from 5 to 12, so the membership does not need renewing or upgrading as your child moves up. It includes:

• Daily Success — the weekday English program.
• Trio Journals — My Story, My Life.
• Personalised feedback on every submission, emailed to your child and to you at the same moment.
• My Account for you and My Learning for each child.

Yes. Every module is written against the Australian Curriculum — year level by year level, strand by strand — so the work your child does here is the work their school is actually asking of them.

We reference the Australian Curriculum (ACARA) to describe the standard our material is written to. This is a reference, not an endorsement: WritePath is not affiliated with, accredited by, or endorsed by ACARA.

Both, because the program is sequenced by year level rather than pitched at one ability. A strong writer gets work at the top of their year’s expectations and feedback specific enough to actually move them — the thing bright students most often go without. A struggling writer gets the same week broken into one finishable piece a day, which is usually the real problem: not capability, but nothing ever being completed.

If you are not sure where your child sits, the free Writing Skill Level Test assesses one piece of their writing against their own year’s expectations and tells you where to start.

It takes about a minute. You add each child with just their name, year level and an email — a Gmail lets them sign in with one tap, any other email works with a quick emailed code (no password to remember). From your My Account you stay in control: change a child’s year level anytime, update the single feedback email where every child’s reports are sent, review your billing, and open each child’s My Learning to see their weekly modules, recent scores and what’s coming next. Your child just signs in and starts today’s module.

No password, on purpose — forgotten passwords are the single most common reason a child stops doing something online.

If their email is a Gmail, they sign in with one tap. Any other email works too: they enter the address, a code arrives, they type it in. There is no app to install either — it runs in a browser on whatever they already use.

One membership covers up to three children. Choose how many when you subscribe — monthly or yearly — and add or remove a child anytime from My Account. The price adjusts to the number of children on the plan.

Yes, any time, from My Account. It matters more than people expect: the year level decides which week of material your child is served, so if you started them a year out, moving it puts them straight onto the right work.

To your child, and to you, at the same moment. Your account has a single feedback email — every child’s reports arrive there, so you have one place to look rather than feedback split across different addresses. You can change that address whenever you like from My Account.

Your child’s own page. It shows this week’s modules, what is done and what is left, their recent scores, and what is coming next. You can open it yourself from My Account — so you can see where they are without asking them.

Not in any way that matters. The program is sequenced, not timed — the modules wait. Holidays, illness and busy weeks are normal, and nothing is lost by skipping them. The only thing worth protecting is the habit of finishing the piece your child has started.

Within minutes of each submission, personalised feedback reaches your child — and the same feedback reaches you, at the same moment, by email. There is no dashboard to log into and no extra step for the family. You see the work being done as it happens.

Two questions, and both deserve a straight answer.

On our side: yes. WritePath uses AI to help produce learning content and to assess open-answer responses, always inside human-designed curriculum and feedback frameworks. The pedagogy and the curriculum are human decisions, and your child always produces their own writing.

On detection: nobody can be one hundred per cent certain whether a piece of writing was produced by a person or a machine, and we won’t claim otherwise. What we can do is show you what we saw. Every Writing Task submission carries a short For parent only note beneath the assessment summary:

• Total time taken — from the first word to submission. A piece saved and finished in a later sitting counts the sittings, not the gap between them.
• Estimated focused writing time — only the stretches the piece was actually being worked on. Long pauses and time away from the page don’t count.
• How the piece arrived — how much of the final text was pasted in, and how much was typed in the window.
• AI-authorship likelihood — our estimate of how likely the piece was generated rather than written by a student in that year. It reads the writing itself and estimates.

These are signals to help you judge, not a verdict, and none of them is proof on its own. Both times are measured in the browser: useful context, not a judgement. But a high likelihood on a piece that arrived pasted in whole, a minute after it was opened, is worth a quiet conversation at home.

No, and we would rather say so. Writing feedback is one informed assessor’s view of one piece of writing — it exists to teach, not to grade definitively. Different markers, human ones included, weight different things. What makes it useful is not the score on any single piece but the pattern across a term.

Reply to the feedback email and a person reads it. If we got something wrong we will say so and correct it — and if the mark was right but the reasoning wasn’t clear enough, that is our problem to fix, not your child’s.

Yes. Reading material, writing tasks, feedback and tone are all written for the age of the student at each year level — a Year 5 module and a Year 11 module do not sound remotely alike. Details of content standards, child safety and data handling are on the Trust & Safety page.

Yes. We never sell data, and the AI that helps mark work is not permitted to train on your child’s writing. You can read exactly what we collect, where it’s stored, and how to request deletion on our Trust & Safety and Privacy pages.
