Fire! Fire!
As part of fire prevention week the Manga-papa School pupils and teachers provided an afternoon of singing, dancing, and demonstrations just to show how dangerous fire is.
Highlight of the afternoon was the demonstration of fire fighting methods given by members of the Gisborne Brigade.
Students leave the building in an orderly manner after the fire alarm has been sounded. Leading in front are Shelly Evans and Darby Tuhaka.
Members of the school use creative dancing to show the way a fire spreads. In the centre is Denise Bartlett who played the part of the flame, and surrounding her is the "burning forest".

Just a portion of the crowd which turned out to watch.
Two engines race to the burning building during one of the action songs. The "firemen" are Beatrice Waikari and Darby Tuhaka. The "engines" are Carol Ngatai and David Chan.
Admiring the model city are Darryl Hillyard, Diana Crookes, Wendy Holmberg, and Robbie Buckingham. The city, complete with fire station and fire hydrants, was built by pupils of the school.
