Wattlewood Sapling — Unschooling Logbook for Australian Families

Wattlewood Sapling — a simple logbook for natural learning

Sapling is for families who don't want a set curriculum or a weekly schedule — just a private, honest way to record what your child is actually learning, day to day, and turn that into something your registering authority will accept.

No lessons to work through, no tasks to tick off. You log a note, a photo, a couple of tags, whenever something happens worth capturing — an interest followed, a skill picked up, a conversation that went somewhere. Sapling turns that into a real record over time.

What's included:

• Simple entry logging — note, photo, tags — built for real natural-learning moments, not a curriculum checklist
• A registration status badge that tracks your actual report due date, with a heads-up as it approaches
• Term archiving — close out a term, keep it permanently, generate a report from it any time
• Wattlewood Field Notes integration — log excursions from your phone, import them straight into your log
• Reports built for your state or territory's registering authority — not a generic template
• Everything stored locally in your own browser — no account, no cloud, nothing about your child leaves your device

Looking for structured, year-level curriculum content instead? That's what Wattlewood (the full version) is for — Sapling and Wattlewood are two different tools for two different ways of homeschooling, not two tiers of the same thing.
