Kura Kaupapa Year 1 and 2: Maui-tinei-ahi (2011 edition)

A year 1 and 2 fire-safety programme is available in te reo Māori. Maui-tinei-ahi (2011 edition) can be translated as Maui-the-extinguisher-of-fire. It is designed specifically for use in kura kaupapa Māori, and most bilingual units.

The Maui-tinei-ahi classroom resource kit contains similar resources to Get Firewise for years 1 and 2.

Maui-tinei-ahi is not a translation of Get Firewise. Although it has the same fire safety outcomes, the te reo resource uses Māori ethos and links to Te Marautanga o Aotearoa (2008).

The firefighter classroom presentation is the same as the Get Firewise presentation, although it is delivered in te reo Māori (unless a kura kaupapa has allowed a non-Māori speaker to deliver the resource by prior arrangement).

The role of coordinating and encouraging uptake should be passed onto the Region's Māori educator or iwi liaison officer. If your region doesn't have such a person, contact either the Region's Firewise coordinator or the Pou Herenga Māori/National Manager Kaupapa Māori, to identify a local speaker of te reo Māori that Fire and Emergency can use.

The overall coordination and administration of Maui-tinei-ahi are the same as for Get Firewise.
