Support students at the edges with a structured learning pathway
Growly is an adaptive learning program designed to complement schools by supporting learning continuity and re-engagement. It is built for students who are disengaged, frequently absent, neurodivergent, or struggling to access mainstream learning.
Where Growly fits
Attendance and re-engagement
Use Growly during uneven attendance to maintain learning momentum and support a gradual return-to-school plan.
Learning support and differentiation
Provide a structured pathway that adapts to pace and understanding, with scaffolding where students are stuck.
Continuity across settings
Support learning whether the student is in class, in a flexible program, or working from home with family support.
What schools get
A structured pathway that can sit alongside existing wellbeing and learning supports, with clear next steps for the learner and a practical routine that families can keep. Growly is designed to reduce overwhelm and help staff focus time where it’s most needed.
Safeguarding-first and privacy-first
Growly is built for children and teens, so safeguarding and privacy are treated as core requirements. We prioritise consent and clear communication with families, data minimisation, and secure access controls. We recognise that schools operating with AI tools need to consider privacy, child safety, discrimination risk, and duty of care, and we design with those constraints in mind.
Partnership options
Advisory panel
Guided by experts
Growly is developed with input from an advisory panel with expertise across child behaviour, psychology, education, neurodiversity, and safeguarding. Their role is to pressure-test design decisions, challenge assumptions, and ensure the program remains practical for schools and families.
We do not position the advisory input as a substitute for school governance. Schools retain their own obligations and decision-making processes. Our aim is to make partnership safer and simpler by building with those constraints in mind.
Pilot cohort
What it is
A time-bound pilot with a defined cohort. Designed for schools wanting a structured, safeguarding-first pathway they can test without committing to a whole-school rollout.
Who it suits
Schools supporting students with attendance challenges, re-engagement needs, neurodivergent learners, or students who are disengaged and falling behind.
What’s involved for the school
-
nominate a school lead and a backup contact
-
identify a cohort and the participation criteria
-
align implementation with existing supports (wellbeing, learning support, attendance plans)
-
coordinate parent information and consent processes using school-approved channels
-
allocate a small, realistic weekly time window (for example during support periods, flex learning, or a supervised catch-up block)
What Growly provides
-
onboarding pack for school and families (plain-language information, consent and support pathway)
-
an adaptive learning pathway that starts at a realistic point and adjusts to student pace and understanding
-
implementation guidance for staff (what to do when a student stalls, how to keep sessions short, how to reduce overwhelm)
-
check-in points for the school lead (short and practical)
What you get back
-
a simple implementation summary for your cohort (what worked, what to adjust)
-
practical learnings for re-engagement and continuity
-
clear next-step recommendations for scale or refinement, aligned to your context
Targeted support
What it is
A targeted pathway used for individual students or small groups who need learning continuity, especially during periods of uneven attendance.
Who it suits
-
students on partial attendance or staged return-to-school plans
-
students in flexible learning programs or alternative settings
-
students who are capable but stuck, shut down, or disengaged
-
students who need a different pace or scaffolding to access core learning
What it looks like in practice
-
short, consistent sessions (a small number of minutes, several times per week)
-
staff support focused on routine and readiness rather than “more work”
-
family use at home where appropriate, with school aware and aligned
How it connects to school plans
We work in concert with schools. Growly is not a replacement for classroom teaching. It is a structured support pathway that can sit alongside existing learning support, wellbeing, and attendance planning.
Evaluation partnerships
What it is
A partnership where the school and Growly agree on a small set of questions and measures that are realistic in a school environment.
What it is not
It is not a research project that creates extra admin load or requires schools to collect sensitive information beyond what is necessary and agreed.
What’s involved
-
a small number of baseline and follow-up touchpoints
-
optional feedback from staff and families
-
reporting at an aggregate level so individual students are not identifiable in shared outputs
What you get back
-
a clear summary of implementation learnings
-
evidence you can use internally for decision-making
-
guidance for improvement cycles and scaling
Curriculum alignment across Australia
Australian Curriculum aligned, with state overlays
Growly references the Australian Curriculum as the common foundation, so it can be used nationally across states and territories. Where relevant, we support alignment to state and sector requirements through mapping and overlays, recognising that schools may use the Australian Curriculum directly or via state-based interpretations and planning structures.
In practice, this means schools can adopt Growly without changing their curriculum, and use it as an additional pathway to support students to access expected learning at an appropriate pace.
If you want to keep the claims cautious until your mappings are fully built, use this slightly softer last sentence instead:
In practice, this means schools can adopt Growly without changing their curriculum approach, and we work with you to map the pathway to your planning and reporting structures.
Who Growly works best with
Growly is designed to be used in partnership. It works best with organisations that want a practical, safeguarding-first way to support learning continuity for children and teens, especially where attendance is uneven, disengagement is high, or learners need a different pace and structure.
Education settings
Schools, clusters, flexible learning programs, and inclusion and wellbeing teams. Growly complements teaching by providing a structured pathway that supports re-engagement and learning continuity.
Community and family-facing organisations
Community hubs, youth services, charities, migrant and settlement services, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations seeking culturally safe, co-designed education support pathways.
Health and disability support partners
Allied health and disability support providers who want a non-clinical learning structure that can sit alongside existing supports, without positioning Growly as therapy.
Research, evaluation, and evidence partners
Universities and evaluators interested in realistic, low-burden pilots with privacy-first, aggregate reporting.
Funders, investors, and industry partners
Impact investors, philanthropy, and industry partners who value responsible deployment with children, clear governance, and minimal data sharing.
If you’re unsure whether your organisation is a fit, contact us with your setting, the cohort you support, and what you want to achieve. We’ll suggest a sensible partnership pathway.
The GROWL Framework — a language schools already understand
Growly’s five-level framework maps directly to Australian Curriculum achievement standards. Level 3, On Track, is the year-level standard. Teachers and school counsellors can read a student’s Growly dashboard and immediately understand where they sit — without translating from a game score or an engagement metric.
Senior school and VETiS integration
In Years 10–12, Growly integrates with the VET in Schools framework. Schools can offer students structured vocational pathways — Certificate II, III, and IV in business, IT, health services, and more — delivered through Growly’s elective and project system. Growly’s founder holds a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, providing the regulatory foundation for accredited delivery alongside your school’s existing processes.
Built for the students schools find hardest to serve
Growly is specifically designed for students with attendance challenges, neurodivergent profiles, re-engagement needs, and learning differences. Universal Design for Learning accessibility — text-to-speech, dyslexia-friendly fonts, no default time pressure, sensory sensitivity modes — is built in, not retrofitted. For schools supporting these students, Growly reduces the gap between what a student needs and what a school can practically deliver.
