AI tool Corella set for statewide rollout in Queensland schools
The Queensland government has announced the statewide rollout of Corella, a new artificial intelligence (AI) teaching tool, to every state high school by 2026. The decision follows promising results from initial trials at 15 schools, including Mt Gravatt State High in Brisbane, where Corella demonstrated its potential to significantly reduce teacher workload and streamline classroom administration.
Corella designed to support teachers and enhance learning
Developed as part of the government’s commitment to digital innovation in education, Corella automates a range of routine tasks such as lesson planning, assessment, reporting, and data entry. By handling these administrative duties, the AI tool enables teachers to focus more on direct student engagement, personalised instruction, and professional development.
Positive feedback from early adopters
Teachers involved in the pilot program have reported notable improvements in work-life balance and classroom efficiency. Many educators say that Corella has helped them reclaim valuable time, reduce paperwork, and improve their ability to support students’ individual learning needs.
Part of broader strategy to address teacher workload
The rollout of Corella is a key component of the Crisafulli government’s broader strategy to attract and retain quality teachers, address workload pressures, and enhance student outcomes across Queensland’s public education system. The initiative also aligns with nationwide efforts to integrate digital tools and artificial intelligence into modern classrooms.
AI as a partner in Queensland education
As Corella is implemented across all state high schools, the government will continue to monitor its impact and work closely with teachers to ensure the technology remains a supportive tool, rather than a replacement for professional expertise. The move marks a significant step forward in Queensland’s journey towards more innovative, efficient, and student-centred education.
