Suzanne Aubert Catholic School Papamoa

Our students in Hikurangi had an exciting visit from the Firewise team this week! The firefighters brought along their fire truck and showed the students some of the important equipment and tools they use when responding to emergencies. We also learnt some valuable fire safety skills, including the correct way to get down low and get out fast if there is smoke, and how to safely exit a house during a fire.

There was plenty of excitement as our tamariki had the chance to see the fire truck up close and learn more about the important work firefighters do in our community. A definite highlight came at the very end of the visit when the fire truck headed off with its lights flashing and sirens sounding – the Hikurangi students absolutely loved it!

A huge thank you to the Firewise team for such a fun, engaging and important learning experience.
