Descant

the line sung above the melody — like a support team, above a student's own line.

Nothing an educator tells you gets lost.

The student-support record for Australian schools. An educator speaks for two minutes in the educator portal (with the AI add-on; without it, they type), and your team gets an attributed, reviewable note in the student's record.

Works with Wonde

Your student roll is already there on day one.

Descant connects to your school system through Wonde. Students, classes, parent and carer contacts, attendance and behaviour summaries arrive by themselves and stay current. Included in the school fee.

  • Sentral
  • Compass
  • XUNO

two minutes
Not a form
Any staff member signs in to the educator portal and adds what they have seen about a student. They see only their own notes and when the support team has reviewed them, never the case.
census-ready
Evidence assembles itself
Every contribution attributed and provenance-linked as it lands. NCCD season finds the record already built.
your call
The AI never judges
It writes the note; your team decides what it means. Never triages, diagnoses or screens a child. Check-in flags follow simple rules, not AI.

Referral to closure

Every concern reaches the right people, and nothing falls through.

Referrals arrive in one list with their urgency, support focus and owner. Your team triages, allocates and closes with the reason recorded, so the next person sees the whole story.

Descant referrals list with each student's support focus, owner, urgency and status such as waitlisted, triaged or in progress.
Descant NCCD evidence workflow for one student: educator input requested, a professional review queue, and evidence coverage across the four NCCD elements.

NCCD evidence

Evidence gathered as the year happens, not rebuilt before census.

Ask an educator for a two-minute observation, review it, and link it to the adjustment it supports. Coverage across the four evidence elements is visible for every student, all year.
