The fire safety programme, Be Firewise for year 7 and 8, builds on Get Firewise for year 1 and 2.

The resource has been designed to be used as teacher directed units and lessons, or for students to learn from independently - or any combination of both.

It teaches students about:

• the nature and dangers of fire
• essential fire safety behaviour that could save lives in an fire emergency
• steps they can take to prevent fires from happening.

Resources

• CD-ROM for teachers that includes unit plans, curriculum links activities, fact and resource sheets and media clips
• CD-ROM for students, with interactive games, fact sheets, media clips and quizzes.

While all of the Firewise programmes are designed for schools to deliver without input from firefighters, it is intended that a presentation from firefighters can be arranegd. This must occur at, or near the end, of the year 7 and 8 programme, and serves to reinforce the students' learning.
