Little Koala

The teaching week,
in one place

Little Koala already makes every document a good school makes. The Hub turns them into the working week — for the teacher on Monday morning, and for the school when someone moves on.

The situation

Right now, the teaching lives in four places

A Word file

Rebuilt by hand every Friday for parents

A memory stick

The textbook PDFs, on one teacher’s desk

A chat thread

What a parent said, three weeks ago

One laptop

Everything else, belonging to one person

None of it is wrong. It just isn’t anywhere the school can reach.

What it costs

Friday afternoon, every week

The same week, produced twice — once to teach from and once for parents.

  1. 1Open last week's Word file

The risk

You notice on the worst possible day

  • A teacher resigns mid-term — The week, the notes and everything they knew about the class leave with them.
  • Someone is off sick — A stand-in walks into a room they know nothing about.
  • A parent asks about August — What did we actually do about the thing they raised?

The idea

Nothing new to write. Nothing to migrate.

Most systems ask a school to change how it works before they help — a new template, a new format, a term of data entry. This one starts from the documents Little Koala already produces.

1

Upload what exists

The week's timetable and the activity plan, exactly as they were written.

2

It becomes the week

Read into a live, illustrated timetable with the lesson detail attached.

3

It stays with the school

Notes, follow-ups and the register belong to the class, not to a laptop.

Six things a teaching week needs

Pick any one.

The week, read from your own file

Upload the timetable you already made. It becomes a live, illustrated week — every lesson in its slot, with the activity plan's detail attached and a picture in every cell.

Before a teacher signs in

The class is already in there

Nobody is handed an empty system to fill in. Every child at Rama 4 is already loaded, with the detail a teacher actually needs on the first morning.

Every child, by name

With nickname, birthday and family contacts for both parents.

Allergies and medical notes

On the class page and the cover pack — not buried in a file.

The specialists who visit

Music, P.E, Library, Chinese, Thai and the after-lunch rotation, per class.

The teaching week

Built here, not in Canva

Three ways in: start from the daily routine already laid out, copy last week and change what moved, or upload the PDF you already made and have it read into the grid.

Once the week is in, the parents’ sheet prints from it, the materials list builds itself, and the Hub says so if a lesson the school expects is missing.

The schedule nobody could find

Out of a thirty-five sheet spreadsheet

The specialist timetable lived in a workbook with thirty-five tabs, most of them last year’s. Each class now sees only its own sessions, on its own timetable page.

The record

A year that stays readable

Observations, milestones and concerns, dated and kept with the class. A concern carries a follow-up chain, so the answer to “what did we do about August” is on the child’s page rather than in somebody’s memory.

And what last year’s teacher knew comes with them — every child who was here has their previous teacher’s handover attached.

The bad morning

Nobody has to write anything

Wake up ill and whoever covers the class opens one page: the register, the allergies, today’s timetable, the week’s topics, the children who need watching, birthdays and emergency contacts.

The same page prints as a handover if a teacher moves on. What they knew about the class stays with the class.

Who sees what

A teacher sees their class. Nobody else’s.

Access is enforced in the database, not in the interface — so it holds even if someone goes looking. Verified by signing in as each kind of user and asking the database directly.

Teachers

Their own class’s children, register, notes and handovers. Zero rows for any other class.

Leadership

The overview across every class, because that is the job.

Children’s data

Names are stripped before anything is sent to an AI service. Family contacts stay behind the login.

What comes back

The hours, counted

Rebuilding a timetable, retyping a namelist, assembling the parent sheet, hunting the specialist schedule, writing cover notes. Set it to whatever you think is true.

544 hours

About 91 full school days handed back to 8 teachers — time that was going into rebuilding documents that already existed.

What it replaces

Fewer tools, not one more

The Hub is not an extra system alongside the others. It absorbs them.

Canva and Word timetables

Built in the app, printed for parents from the same week the class teaches from.

Shared drive folder-hunting

Two thousand resources filed against the curriculum and searchable.

The specialist spreadsheet

Thirty-five tabs replaced by each class seeing its own sessions.

Handover documents

Written once by the app from what the previous teacher recorded.

Where it is today

Specialist sessions

Rama 4 is live: eight classes, every child with allergies, birthdays and family contacts, and last year’s handover attached. Teachers are being brought on now, class by class — this is the beginning of adoption, not the end of it.

Both campuses

One plan, two sites

All nineteen classes across Rama 4 and Ramintra exist in the Hub, with the year levels and expected lesson counts the school itself publishes.

Rama 4’s eight classes are loaded and running. Ramintra’s eleven are set up and waiting on their namelists — when they arrive, both campuses work from the same shared plan and the same weekly check.

What is next

Pictures on lessons

Choose your own artwork for a lesson, or search a free picture library from inside the timetable.

Ramintra joins

Namelists, staff and the first week, the same way Rama 4 was set up.

Accounts for assistants

TAs are recorded against their class already; logins follow.

Whatever teachers ask for

There is a feedback page in the app, and what comes through it goes to the top of this list.

Little Koala

Have a look

The Hub lives at littlekoalateachershub.com and works on a laptop, a tablet or a phone. Teachers get a personal link that sets their password and opens their own class.

Questions, doubts, or something you think is wrong — ask. It is being built for the people who have to use it, so being told what is not working is the useful part.
