National Check-in Week is a transformative initiative designed to help schools and educators prioritise student wellbeing through daily online emotional check-ins. This groundbreaking approach empowers students to express their feelings while providing schools with rich, real-time insights, metric, data and reports into student readiness, emotional trends, and classroom dynamics.
From May 26, 2025 to May 30, 2025
National Check-In Week was founded with a mission to ensure that no child falls through the gaps—regardless of their socio-economic background, cultural identity, neurodiversity, learning differences, or geographic location.
For over 18 years, our team has worked hand in hand with schools, governments, and communities, building technology dedicated to empowering student voices and fostering emotional literacy and self-regulation among K–12 students across Australia.
Our mission is to empower student voices through technology, helping schools drive better outcomes by providing evidence-based wellbeing data—from the students, for the students.

In Australian schools, student wellbeing is at a crisis point. One in seven students experiences a mental health challenge each year (AIHW, 2023), with anxiety, depression, and behavioural disorders on the rise. The pressures of academic performance, social change, family stress, and digital overstimulation are making it harder than ever for students to focus, engage, and thrive in school (Twenge & Campbell, 2022).
Yet, schools are often left in the dark. Traditional wellbeing assessments—such as attendance records, behavioural incidents, and teacher observations—fail to capture students’ real-time experiences and often exclude their voices. Anonymous surveys, conducted infrequently, provide only a snapshot rather than ongoing insights, making it difficult to identify immediate concerns.
Without a structured way for students to regularly express how they feel and develop the skills needed to self-regulate, their voices go unheard, and opportunities for early intervention are missed.
