Overview
At Salesian College Sunbury, we wanted to go beyond simply using off-the-shelf AI tools in the classroom. Our goal was to give every student a personalised tutor for each subject they study, grounded entirely in their actual coursework.
This session will demonstrate how our Digital Learning & Innovation team built an internal platform that lets teachers upload their subject content, assessment instructions, and resources, then automatically generates a dedicated AI chatbot for each student in each class. These chatbots can answer questions, explain content in different ways, and guide students step-by-step through their tasks — all while staying aligned with teacher expectations. Built using AI APIs within our College's Generative AI Framework, this system has transformed student engagement and reduced the time teachers spend on repetitive clarification. Attendees will see how we designed the workflows, guardrails, and safety systems that make this possible within a school context.
Participants will leave with a clear blueprint for creating their own custom learning support tools using generative AI.
