What if AI could truly understand each student — not just respond to a prompt?

At the WA Education Summit, Rob Barugh, Director of Learning Technology at Hale School, takes you inside one of the most advanced school-based AI implementations in the country.

In The Personalised AI Tutor: Inside Hale School’s Hale-GPT, Rob shares how Hale built a personalised AI assistant using Azure OpenAI — integrating enrolments, assessments, grades and deadlines to support each student’s learning journey. From generating study schedules to tailored practice questions, this is AI designed to enhance learning, not replace it.

Importantly, Rob also explores the guardrails and monitoring systems put in place to ensure AI is used responsibly — offering valuable insights for any school navigating the balance between innovation and integrity.

This is a rare opportunity to hear a real-world case study of AI in action within a school setting.

Part of the WA Education Summit — now in its 7th year — the event brings together educators, IT leaders and school decision-makers across three dedicated streams: Teaching & Learning, IT Management, and School Leadership.
