| Action Steps | Key Questions | Practice |
| Identify defining moments. | Which events or milestones could be made more memorable? | Ask the leader to list three annual moments that shape how students or staff feel about school. |
| Design with emotion in mind. | What do you want people to feel during and after this event? | Practise planning an event using sensory details, storytelling, and symbolism to evoke pride. |
| Involve others in creation. | How can students and staff help design these experiences? | Practise inviting colleagues to co-create an event so ownership is shared. |
| Capture and share the story. | How will you preserve the memory and meaning of the moment? | Ask the leader to plan how to record, photograph, or share the experience so its message endures. |
