Free report card comment generator
Pick the year level, subject and achievement level, tick a strength and a next step, and get a specific, parent-friendly comment to copy into your reporting system.
How do I write report card comments quickly?
Start from a specific strength and one clear next step for each student, not a general trait. This generator turns those choices into a comment of the right length for Foundation to Year 10. It runs in your browser, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Free version: one comment at a time. Read it against your notes and add one detail only you would know.
Writing a whole class?
Paste dot-point notes for 10 students at once and get a varied, specific comment for each, with student codes instead of names so nothing identifying goes into the AI.
You are helping a [Year level] [subject] teacher in Australia write report card comments. For each student code below, write one comment of [60β90] words. Student notes: S1 β [achievement] β [strength] β [next step] β [effort]
The full version adds:
- 6 rules that stop invented achievements and behaviours
- A strength-then-next-step structure parents can follow
- A banned-clichΓ© list and varied openings, so 30 comments don't read the same
How to get a better comment
- One strength beats three. A single specific skill reads as more personal than a list.
- Match the next step to the strength. If the strength is ideas, the next step might be editing, so the comment tells one story.
- Add a detail. Mention a task, a unit or something you saw. That's the line parents remember.
- Check the scale. Make sure the achievement wording matches your school's reporting language.

Common questions
Is the report comment generator free?
Yes. The generator is free to use with no signup. It writes one comment at a time from the options you pick. For drafting a whole class in batches with AI, the Teacher & Tutor Prompt Pack includes the full report-comment prompt.
Does the generator store student names?
No. It runs entirely in your web browser. Nothing you type, including a student's first name, is sent to Toolbelt or anywhere else, and nothing is saved when you close the page.
Which year levels and subjects does it cover?
Foundation to Year 10, with comment wording that changes by year level for English and mathematics, plus science, HASS, Health and Physical Education, the Arts, Technologies and general learning behaviours.
Can I use the comments as they are?
Treat them as a strong first draft. Check that every strength and next step matches what you observed, adjust the wording to your school's achievement scale, and add one specific detail from class so the comment couldn't be about anyone else.
