How much of our time does it take?

The baseline takes about two weeks. We run a few workshops with the people who look after each area, then play the results back to your leadership team. How many workshops depends on the size of your school.

Who needs to be involved?

Whoever looks after each area at your school. That might be your technology lead for data and tools, heads of learning for curriculum, and pastoral or wellbeing leads for student safety. You choose who’s involved.

Do we need the Arvoe platform?

No. The Program works on its own. If you use Arvoe, your AI risks and controls go straight into your register and stay up to date alongside everything else.

Is the self-assessment the same as the baseline?

No. The self-assessment is a short version you complete yourself, for a quick read. The baseline is run with your team over two weeks, covers the full Maturity Model and leads to a roadmap.

Move ahead on AI, knowing your school has it covered.

The AI Governance Program shows where your school stands on AI, then gives you the roadmap, blueprint and training to get you there.

AI is changing the risks your school already manages.

Staff and students use AI every day. It changes many of the risks your school looks after, from child safety and learning to privacy and cyber security. Used well, it can also give teachers more time and students more support.

Child safety and wellbeing

A fake image of a student can be made in seconds and shared to bully them. Some students turn to AI chatbots for company or advice.

Learning and assessment

It’s harder to tell what a student wrote themselves, and assessment needs to change to keep up.

Student information

Student details can end up in free tools nobody has checked, and some tools keep what they’re given.

Cyber security

Scam emails and fake voices are more convincing, so fraud and impersonation are easier.

Staff

Staff are trying AI tools on their own, without clear guidance on what’s allowed or training to use them well.

The upside

Used well, AI can tailor learning to each student, help teachers spot students who need support earlier, and take admin off their plate.

Parents, staff and the Board are already asking how your school uses AI. From 10 December, if any of your school’s tools make or support decisions about students, your privacy policy has to say so.

How the Program works.

It starts with a two-week baseline, then builds the plan to get your school where it wants to be with AI.

Baseline your school

We work with the people who look after each area, from wellbeing to technology, and look at how AI shows up across your policies. We map what your school does against the eight areas of the AI Governance Maturity Model.

What you getA baseline of where your school sits in each area, including your policies.

Agree where you want to be

We play the baseline back to your leadership team, and you decide the level your school is aiming for in each area.

What you getA target your leadership has agreed.

Build the roadmap

The controls behind each level show what needs to be in place to get there, from processes and roles to day-to-day activity. We put them in order, including any changes your policies need.

What you getA roadmap of what comes first, and who owns it.

Write down your AI risks and controls

We document the AI risks your school carries and the controls you have in place. If you use Arvoe, they go straight into your register alongside every other risk.

What you getA documented set of AI risks and controls.

Check your progress

Reassessments during the year show what’s changed and how you’re tracking towards your targets.

What you getProgress you can show the Board.

Throughout the year

AI training for staff.Practical training so staff know what’s allowed and how to use AI well.

AI tool review.We review the AI tools your school uses and help you risk-assess each one. In Arvoe, each tool sits in your register with its owner.

The framework behind the Program.

Two pieces, built for Australian schools and aligned to the Australian Framework for Generative AI in Schools.

AI Governance Maturity Model

It sets out what good practice looks like at each of five levels, across eight areas. The baseline shows where your school stands, you decide where it needs to be, and the roadmap is the path between the two.

GovernanceWho decides on AI, how those decisions are recorded, and how the Board sees them.

RiskThe AI risks your school carries, and who owns them.

Learning designAI used to strengthen learning, with academic integrity intact.

Student safety and wellbeingStudents protected from AI-specific harms, with named accountability.

Data privacyWhat student and staff information AI systems handle.

WorkforceStaff equipped to teach and lead alongside AI.

Equity of accessAI narrowing rather than widening gaps between students.

Community trustFamilies and staff told how AI is used, before the hard question arrives.

Every control objective maps to an area and a level, so the baseline shows what to put in place to move up.

AI Risk and Control Blueprint

Everything your school needs to manage AI well, already written. It’s the blueprint for getting from where you are today to where you want to be.

Example Area: Learning design

RiskStudents handing in AI-generated work as their own.

OpportunityAI tailoring learning to each student, so teachers can spot who needs help sooner.

Each risk is written for schools, with an owner and the area it sits in.

“We accept very little risk to the honesty of student work and assessment.”

Who you work with.

“The real skill in AI is understanding how it works. Schools that teach this will produce people who lead with AI, and help put Australia at the front of solving hard problems.”

Lachlan BransbyCo-founder and CEO, Arvoe

“I talk to my kids about AI every day: what it is and isn’t, how and when to use it, and what to watch out for. I want every school in Australia to be able to have that conversation with confidence.”

Ryan SpeakCo-founder and CTPO, Arvoe

Part of the 2026 LaunchAI cohort, run by the Queensland AI Hub.

Questions about the Program

It’s a good starting point. We assess it alongside your other policies and recommend changes. That might mean updating the AI policy, or building AI into the policies you already have.

We’ll show you how the Program would answer it, and what a baseline would look like for your school.
