Features and inclusions

Checklist

Our checklist feature gives you a simple, organised way to record your child’s progress against the Australian Curriculum and chosen scope and sequence. As you plan and complete learning activities, you can simply tick off items in the list.

Calendar

Starling’s calendar helps you keep track of the learning that happens beyond worksheets and lesson plans. Use it to record activities, classes, co-ops, library visits, appointments, community events and excursions, so your homeschool week is easier to see at a glance.

Tasks

Starling makes it easy to assign tasks to your children, whether they are homeschool assignments, household chores, reading goals, project steps or anything else your family needs to keep moving. You can use task assignments to help children see what is expected, build independence and take ownership of their day, while keeping everything connected to your wider homeschool planning.

Learning methods

Starling’s learning methods section helps you discover and organise useful links to websites, learning resources and excursion locations that can support your child’s education. Whether you are looking for hands-on activity ideas, online learning tools, local places to visit or resources that match a particular subject area, you can keep helpful links together in one place and refer back to them whenever you are planning your next lesson, project or outing.

Planning

Starling helps you build an annual learning plan and create weekly lesson plans for each child, keeping your homeschool direction clear while still allowing room for flexibility. Powered by AI, the planning tools help you turn your ideas, notes and goals into a usable document more easily, so you can spend less time staring at a blank page and more time shaping meaningful learning experiences for your family.

Portfolio

The portfolio feature is designed for the time of year when you are preparing for your moderator visit. Throughout the year, Starling’s other tabs allow you to push notes, records, activities, milestones, plans and evidence into this area, helping you gradually build a clear portfolio of what your child has completed. When it is time to review the year, everything is already gathered in one place, making it easier to show your child’s learning journey with confidence and less last-minute stress

Individual planning for up to five children

Starling lets you add up to five children to your planner, giving each child their own individual planning, records, tasks, curriculum progress and portfolio space. At the same time, family life rarely happens in separate boxes, so shared activities can still be included across children in the calendar. Whether siblings are attending the same excursion, joining a class together or completing a shared project, Starling helps you keep individual records organised while still reflecting the way your family learns together.
