Step 1
Open your timetable in Sentral
Sign in to your school's Sentral portal in a browser and open your timetable — the view that shows your whole teaching week or cycle, not just today.

From Sentral to your planner
Import your Sentral timetable
Every school's Sentral is set up a little differently, so this guide sticks to what travels: get your timetable out as a file — calendar export, PDF, or screenshot — and let Made to Teach turn it into a draft you review.
Step 2
Look for an export or print option
Sentral's official Timetables help area includes guidance for viewing and downloading timetables from the portal. If your account shows a download, use it. Otherwise look for a print view, because schools can configure the portal and staff permissions differently.
Step 3
Printing to PDF is a reliable fallback
If there is a print view, use your browser's print dialog and choose Save as PDF. A clear screenshot of the full grid works as well — just check the day labels, clock times, and class names are readable.
Step 4
Upload it to Made to Teach
In the app, open Classes → Import timetable. Upload the file directly on your device, or choose Import using our website, generate a one-time code, and upload from any browser at import.madetoteach.com.au.
Step 5
Review the draft in the app
Made to Teach turns your upload into a draft timetable. Check every class name, room, day, and time, fix anything that looks wrong, then choose Add timetable to schedule.

Troubleshooting the export
Download is not available
Open Sentral in a desktop browser and check the Timetables area. If download is not available for your role, ask your Sentral administrator for a timetable-only PDF.
The PDF cuts off the grid
Use the print preview in landscape orientation and include the full cycle. Check that day labels, period times, class names and rooms are not clipped across pages.
The image is hard to read
Capture fewer pages at a higher resolution or export the original PDF instead of photographing a monitor. Review every row before adding the draft to your schedule.
