    Base A5 Features

    •  

      Lighter & more portable

      If you find traditional A4 planners too bulky, then this is the planner for you.

      It's A5 in size and weighs in under 530g, making it the perfect size to throw in your teacher bag at the end of each day.

    •  

      Weekly meeting minutes

      No more scrolling to the back of your planner or hunting through separate notebooks.

      Stay organised with our weekly meeting minutes. You can use this page for staff meetings, parent meetings, student conferences or phone calls.

      Why you should take minutes in meetings
    • Weekly notes

      After each week, you'll also find an entire lined page to use how you need it.

      Think overflow notes, brain-dumping, planning the week ahead, or just doodling.

    •  

      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 7 lessons OR 6 lessons plus home room/whole-day events/meetings.

      Plus pre-lined spaces for meetings & yard duties throughout the entire day - not just before and after school.

      Why we don't include stickers
    •  

      Durable, water-resistant hard cover

      Our hard cover is built with premium book board for strength, & is finished in a textured vegan leather material that resists spills & scuffs. It’s easy to clean with a soft cloth & a little disinfectant - perfect for shared (*ahem* gross) spaces.

      It's also finished with a gold debossed 2027 & Base logo for a premium touch.

      How to clean your cover
    • Case binding and two bookmark ribbons

      Our premium casebound format gives the A5 a classic, notebook-style finish that’s strong, durable and easy to carry.

      Two built-in ribbon bookmarks make it easy to find your place and quickly navigate between key pages.

    • Elastic closure

      The strong elastic closure keeps everything secure which means no loose pages and no surprises in your bag.

    •  

      Term planning

      No more motivational quotes taking up an entire page.

      Use the double-page term calendar spread to stay on top of important events & dates.

      How to get organised with a planner
    • 120GSM+ Bleed-Proof Paper

      Thick, smooth, and made to last. Our 120GSM paper is ever-so-slightly thinner than the paper in the A4, making the planner lighter without losing its bleed-proof quality.

    • Systems focused

      Great teaching starts with great systems. Plan with purpose by mapping your year backwards, setting weekly priorities, time blocking your day, capturing meeting notes, & staying on top of the countless moving parts of school life.

      Build systems & routines that reduce overwhelm & help you teach at your best.

    • PD Section

      Keep your professional learning in one place, with AITSL Standards and resources, a dedicated PD log, and space for notes and reflections.

    Aimee's guide to making your planner work for you (all year 'round!)

    A planner is only useful when it becomes part of your system. To make sure you actually use your planner all year, i’s not about creating the perfect planner spread or filling in every page; it’s about having a reliable place to capture the many moving parts of teaching.

    Here’s how I use my Base Planner:

    Start big and work backwards.
    Map your year, then your term, then your week and day. At the start of each term, add everything that’s already locked in: classes, duties, meetings, professional learning and key dates.

    Make it part of your routine.
    My planner lives on my desk and comes with me everywhere. Meeting? Planner. Class? Planner. Need to remember something? Planner. The more you use it, the more useful it becomes.

    Use it alongside your digital systems.
    Your planner doesn’t need to replace everything. I keep detailed curriculum mapping and resources online, while my Base Planner helps me manage my priorities, reminders, key dates and the everyday admin that can easily get lost.

    The goal isn’t to plan every minute. It’s to create a system that helps you feel organised and prepared throughout the year.

    Perfect Planner

    Best teacher planner I have purchased. No florals or insporational quotes, just lots of olanning room, PL register which is very helpful and the coolest cover art.

    So happy to hear that you love your new planner, Brooke! Your photos look great! I hope you have the best 2026! Aimee

    I love the updates and changes since last year!

    I love the updates and changes since last year. The cover is beautiful and the new weekly layout is going to be amazing, I almost can’t wait for term 1 so I can start using it.

    Wishing away the holidays to start Term 1 - that's high praise indeed!! Haha thanks for such a lovel review Brooke. I hope you have the best 2026 after a nice relaxing break. Thanks, Aimee

    Grace
    Untamed 2026 Planner

    Absolutely love this planner - it has everything you need without the ‘fluff’ that often finds its way into teaching planners.

    Immaculately presented (would be a great gift for a teacher or PST) with high quality finishes throughout (while this is my first Base planner, I get the feeling it’s going to hold up to the ravages of school life).

    Areas for improvement
    Bubbling/ warping on the thicker term tabs as pictured. Functionally not relevant but a little sad for fresh stationary.

    A little sad that I pre-ordered and then planners were put on sale the day mine arrived. Appreciate that these decisions are made based on sales/ SOH but it’s a bit of a kick in the teeth given we’re in November 2025.

    The spiral binding is a bit rigid for a flat lay (pages get stuck) however I’m optimistic this will resolve with time/ use.

    I’m a sucker for the spirals that you can open and self fill (eg. Aqua Drops & FiloFax), would be great to have something like this as an upgrade option and would allow for a more sustainable approach to planners year on year by being able to purchase the refill pages/ an updated cover as req.

    Would love the PVC sleeve to be moveable (similar to term dividers).*
    *I know we all dump more than we should in these and this probably stops it from falling out when we’ve overloaded so props if you’ve already catered to this one!

    All in all excited to roll the Untamed Planner out in 2026.

    Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review and for sharing photos, Grace. I really appreciate the detail you’ve gone into.

    I’m sorry about the bubbling on the thicker term tabs. Even though it doesn’t affect use, I understand it’s disappointing to see on fresh stationery. Hopefully the bubbling will settle as the weight of the planner sits on the page. That said, I’ll make sure this is something we flag with our manufacturer next year.

    Thank you as well for your comment about the sale. I completely understand how you feel. To be honest, deciding whether or not to run a Black Friday sale is tricky for a lot of reasons - this being one of them. I included a free gift for all pre-orders this year because I want early supporters to feel taken care of, and I’m so grateful you chose to order early. I also offer a repeat customer discount, so keep an eye out for your code next year.

    I really appreciate the suggestions about refills and flexibility. For the first time this year, we do have add-on page packs (notes, meeting minutes and the assessment gradebook) so you can customise or expand your planner if you need to throughout the year. There are still a couple of these left if you’d like to grab one before they’re gone.

    Your feedback about the spirals and the PVC sleeve is also really helpful. I’m always refining things from year to year, and real customer-use feedback is the most valuable.

    Thank you again for supporting my small business. I’m so glad you’re excited to use your Untamed planner in 2026.

    Thanks,
    Aimee

    Love

    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!

    Base planner - highly recommend!

    Can’t recommend this planner enough. Finally got a planner where I have enough space to write meaningful notes. Also has space to break the year and term down into smaller blocks and can enter dates manually depending on what state you are in. I also tend to lose track of what PL I’ve done so the fact that this planner has space to record PL sections and the standards it hits is a big bonus. Special mention to Aimee who went above and beyond in her communication as I wasn’t sure where I wanted it sent in order to receive it in a timely manner as i really was doing the rounds these school hols!

    Hi Steve, thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm thrilled to hear the planner has everything you've been looking for. It was my pleasure to help you out with shipping, and I truly appreciate your thoughtful review. Enjoy using your planner throughout the year! Thanks again, Aimee

    The Planner Made for Teachers

    You can tell a teacher is behind the design of this planner ! This is a planner that contains everything a teacher needs. Got it today and started setting it up and just know it’s going to serve me well this year. I love the simple streamline design that I can customise and make my own and how sturdy yet not bulky it is. I prefer weekly pages to daily pages as it’s less overwhelming and I can see my week in one glance. Planning pages throughout are great as are the sections for logging professional learning. It’s got everything! Highly recommend this planner - it will accompany me daily to class and meetings!

    Hi Michael, thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm absolutely chuffed to hear that the Base planner is meeting your needs and that you love the design and features. Wishing you a fantastic year of teaching with it!

    Everything you need and still stylish!

    I have always struggled to use a day book - they never felt intuitive in the lay out and I always needed more space for meeting/planning notes. The untamed planner meets all those needs and even had add ons! This is my second planner and it wont be my last!

    Big yay that the Base Planner has all the features you were looking for!! We'll be very glad to have you back next year. Have the best 2026! Thanks, Aimee

    Review of Untamed Planner

    As a Head of Department, I love the Weekly Meetings and Notes double spread between weeks enabling me to keep all my records of meetings/notes in the one place. As a teacher, allowing before school, recess, lunch and after school spaces in the Weekly spread allows me to plan out ALL of my out of timetable lessons and of course, the 'To Do' list on the RHS is great to dump all the things that need doing that week. I also love the elastic to close the planner keeping it secure and respectable! My only recommendation would be to make the dates/days of the week in a font that is a bit bigger or thicker - as it is a little hard to read because it is so fine and faint. But other than that - I love it!

    I'm chuffed you love the weekly meetings and notes pages, and that the weekly layout has the features you've been looking for. Thanks for such a detailed review, Bru! I'll definitely add your suggestion about the larger/thicker dates to our annual survey - I think it's a great idea. Thanks again, Aimee

    Awesome

    This is the second time that I have purchased from Aimee. I love my 2025 planner and needed another one for 2026. It keeps my whole week sorted and planned. I always love seeing it laid out so clearly. It lasts the whole year… even as someone who is not gentle with theirs. The artwork is always a stunning bonus.

    I'm so grateful to have to back for a second year, Kelsey! Thank you for such a kind review. I hope you have the best 2026! Aimee

    unboxed

    I was so excited to receive my first Base Teacher Planner that I invited my colleagues to watch me unbox it! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and I am really looking forward to putting all the pages to work next year when I know what classes and students I am teaching. :)

    We LOVE an unboxing!! Especially when it's shared! I'm really happy to hear you love your new planner, Sarah. Have a great 2026! Aimee

    There is so much to love about this planner!

    There is so much to love about this planner! Firstly it's sturdy and well protected, you can already tell it will last the whole year without breaking apart. There is ample planning space throughout the whole planner and the inclusion of the movable monthly planner is so good, very handy to keep track of larger ticket items from week to week. Looking forward to using it to its full potential in 2026!

    What a fab review!! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Steph. So so happy you love your new Base Planner. Aimee

    FAQs

    Will the term calendars align with my school's term dates?

    Our A5 planner has fixed term calendar pages, rather than the moveable term tabs included in our A4 planner. The term calendars are placed before the following weeks based on these dates:

    • Term 1: 18 January
    • Term 2: 12 April
    • Term 3: 12 July
    • Term 4: 4 October

    As school term dates vary across Australia, these may not exactly match your school’s dates. If your school’s term dates differ, you can simply use the calendar as a general reference and plan your specific dates within the weekly pages.

    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. Your feedback via our customer surveys also supports this decision.

    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.

    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 have a close relationship with our wonderful manufacturer, and are proud to partner with such a professional and high-quality company.

    Our manufacturer is ISO-certified, which means that it upholds rigorous quality standards and uses 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?
    • 2 lined planning pages at the front of the planner
    • 1 lined notes page after every week throughout the planner
    • 6 note pages at the back of the planner
