Features we know you'll love...
Moveable Term Tabs
No more making do with term tabs that don't align with your school's term dates.
Our Base Planner is designed to suit you! Customise your planner to suit your school's unique term dates. Simply remove the term page and reinsert it where you need it.
Weekly Meeting Minutes
No more scrolling to the back of your planner or hunting through separate notebooks.
Keep all your meeting minutes organised with our weekly meeting minutes and notes. There's an entire double-page spread after every weekly spread.
You can use them for staff meetings, parent meetings, student conferences or phone calls. Plus, there's a whole page for overflow notes.
Distraction-Free Weekly Layout
No motivational quotes, stickers or other unnecessary fluff. More space for planning and to-do listing!
Our weekly layout features space for 6 lessons, plus pre-lined spaces for meetings and yard duties throughout the entire day - not just before and after school.
Durable, Premium Materials
It's important to have a planner that will last the entire year, so we spared no expense in the quality of our materials and craftsmanship.
Our planner features 140GSM bleed-proof paper, a water-resistant hard cover, durable metal corners, strong electroplated wire coil and an elastic band to keep it all together.
Term Planning
Our unique term tab design means you have an entire page of unlined space for brainstorming and dooling PLUS an entire page of structured weekly planning.
We like using the structured term overview as our term calendar to keep things streamlined and clear.
A Design That Stands Out
You won't find any love hearts, stars, inspirational text or generic floral patterns on our front cover. This custom cover illustration has been brought to life by Melbourne-based artist, Lynn Bremner.
Each element is a clever little Easter egg to an element in the curriculum.

Best planner for teaching! Saw a peer use this and they sent me here. Will buy for next year also.
This planner is amazing and I’m loving it. I’m in primary school and all the features work so well, weekly meetings, PD log and the weekly spread is perfect.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us such a glowing review, Brooke! We're thrilled to hear you're loving your Base Planner! We hope you have a great 2025!
Fantastic planner! Already week 3 of term and it’s well used. It’s not only perfect for teachers it’s perfect for teacher aides and SSOs. The customer service I received was outstanding too!!
Thank you for your lovely review, Liz! We're so happy the planner is what you'd hoped it would be, and that we were able to help you. Have a great year!
It is exactly what I wanted! The art work is amazing and the notes page after each week is brilliant.
My only thing is, I’m a high school teacher and have three lessons first up then, break, one lesson, break then last lesson. So the green sections for lunch make it a bit messy. But other than that it is the best planner I have had!
Thank you so much for your kind review, Courtney! We're so glad to hear that you love your new planner. We really appreciate your feedback about the layout—our goal is to create a planner that works for as many teachers as possible, so it's always helpful to hear how timetables run. Wishing you a great school year with your planner!
Super super impressed with the quality! I can't wait to kick off my second year of teaching in Australia, feeling extra prepared with my Base planner!
We're so glad to hear you love your new planner, Kimera! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Enjoy your year!

FAQs
Will the term tab dividers align with my school's term dates?
Yes! One of our priorities when designing this planner was that it needed to be flexible to suit the needs of teachers all around Australia. The term tab pages are moveable within the planner which means you can insert them to suit your school's term dates. How good!
How do the moveable term tabs work?
The term tab pages are reinforced and sliced along the binding which means the pages can be removed and relocated within the planner. The reinforcing along the binding prevents the pages from ripping when you remove them, and you can push them back into the binding at any point throughout the planner.
Is this planner suitable for all year levels and subjects?
Absolutely! Our planners were crafted with the needs of high school teachers in mind, but their versatile design makes them equally suitable for primary school, early childhood educators or even university lecturers or private tutors. Whether you're guiding students through complex subjects in high school, laying the foundation for lifelong learning in early childhood, or working one-on-one with students, our planner provides the organisational tools and flexibility to support your unique teaching journey at any year level.
Does this planner have weekends?
No, our planners do not include space specifically designated for planning the weekend. We've made a deliberate decision to prioritise ample space for your to-do lists to help you stay organised and focused on your daily tasks throughout the week. By excluding weekends, we aim to reduce clutter on the page and streamline your planning experience. However, we understand that some of you may still want to jot down weekend plans or notes. That's why we've included a blank space underneath the to-do list section, allowing for flexibility and customisation to suit your individual needs. This space provides the perfect opportunity to add any additional notes, reminders, or weekend plans as desired.
Do you offer a neutral cover design?
Not yet, but this is at the top of our wish list. In order to stock an additional cover design option, we have to satisfy minimum order quantities with our manufacturer. The fastest way to ensure Base stocks a neutral planner is to let us know in our annual customer survey, and to spread the word with as many people as you can.
Are your planners sustainable?
Our planners are made with FSC-certified paper which ensures it's from responsibly managed forests that meet strict environmental, social, and economic standards. We've also partnered with an ISO 14001-certified manufacturer, ensuring our products are made with environmentally responsible practices for a sustainable future.
Where are your products made?
Our products are proudly designed right here in Melbourne, however, to bring our vision to life, our products are manufactured in China.
Despite our efforts to manufacture locally, our unique moveable term pages necessitated production overseas.
We partner with ISO-certified facilities that uphold rigorous quality standards and use FSC-certified materials for sustainability.
We conduct quality checks from our headquarters in Australia. Plus, we stay closely involved in the manufacturing process to guarantee that every planner lives up to our high standards.
How many notes pages are there?
Short answer? A LOT! We know this is important to you so we've jam packed the planner full of notes pages.
- 10 lined planning pages at the beginning of the planner
- 2 pages for meeting minutes and notes after every single week throughout the planner
- 4 unlined notes pages at the beginning of each term
- 14 lined notes pages at the back of the planner
