Three steps, no prompt-wrangling

You stay the designer. The AI just does the typing.

Most tools hand you a generic plan and hope it fits. Lorikeet starts from your intent — year level, learning area, the angle you want — and fills in the scaffolding.

01

Tell it your shape

Pick the year, learning area and state. Drop in your own angle, a stimulus text, or a unit you're already running.

02

It maps the curriculum

Lorikeet matches your topic to the exact ACARA v9 content descriptors and achievement standards — Foundation to Year 12, every learning area.

03

Edit, then export

Tune tone, length and reading level in a click. Send it to Google Slides, PowerPoint, Word or PDF and walk into class.

The honest comparison

Same job. Roughly half the bill.

Chalkie set the bar for AU-aligned, teacher-designed lessons. Lorikeet keeps the workflow and cuts the individual price — because most of the cost is margin, not model.

What you actually get

Built for the Australian classroom, not adapted to it.

Foundation → Year 12
every learning area

Curriculum that's actually mapped

Each lesson is pinned to specific v9 content descriptors and the matching achievement standard — from HASS to The Arts to Digital Technologies — with cognitive-verb awareness so the tasks match the cognitive demand.

  • State and territory variations handled automatically
  • Reading level and vocabulary adjust to the year
  • EYLF support for early years planning

One topic in,
a full unit out

Lessons, series and worksheets

Generate a single lesson, a sequenced unit of up to 25 lessons, or standalone differentiated worksheets — then reshape any of it with a sentence: shorter, simpler, more challenge, different stimulus.

  • Three-tier differentiation out of the box
  • Rubrics and exit tickets tied to the standard
  • Editable everything — you keep the final say
