  • • assembling a signed information pack about their school to support newly arrived deaf students, including a signed glossary of key people and places and simple directions to navigate the school website
  • • explaining a favourite game, highlighting key Auslan terms and supporting information with pictures, gestures and demonstrations
  • • creating a class presentation or video, locating and describing, in Auslan, a specific First Nations Country/Place location in a local or regional context, or elsewhere in Australia
  • • planning, rehearsing and delivering short presentations about a topic of their choice, taking into account context, purpose and audience, for example, promoting recycling or a dream holiday

By the end of Year 6, students initiate and use strategies to maintain interactions in Auslan that are related to their immediate environment. They collaborate in activities that involve the language of planning and problem-solving to share information, preferences and ideas. They use strategies to locate and interpret information and ideas in texts, and demonstrate understanding by responding in Auslan or English, adjusting their response to context, purpose and audience. They create texts, selecting and using a variety of signs, depicting signs (DSs), non-manual features (NMFs) and signing spaces. They sequence information and ideas, and use conventions appropriate to text type. Students apply rules of signs, pace and signing space to develop fluency. They use modelled structures when creating and responding in Auslan. They compare language structures and features in Auslan and English, using some metalanguage. They show understanding of how some language reflects cultural practices and consider how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
