- working in groups to create a series of promotional resources for the school website

- organising and participating in visits by respected members of the Deaf community to their school to share knowledge and to promote Auslan skills in the wider community

- planning presentations to showcase aspects of Deaf culture likely to be unfamiliar to the hearing community

- reporting on and evaluating completed events or activities that they had planned together, for example:

FIRST PRO1 DOUBT I-F WILL GO-WELL, HAVE-A-LOOK GO-ALONG GOOD
At the start, I wasn’t sure it would work, but after a while I thought it went well.
PRO1 WRONG NEVER AGAIN DO SAME
I won’t do that ever again.
(* Auslan video example on this is in the ACARA website)

- following sequenced directions that involve the use of practical information, for example:

SEE DS:wavy-surface, KNOW WHERE SCRATCH? S-A-N-D POLISH MORE DS:thick-to-thin 2MM SMOOTH
See where the surface is uneven? You sand that back 2 mm and it gets smooth.
(* Auslan video example on this is in the ACARA website)

- planning and presenting a cultural item for a school open day, such as celebration through drama or visual story of an important member of the Deaf community
