Bullying Types and Hauora

Read the scenario and use it to explore bullying, hauora and manaakitanga. Bullying is repeated, harmful behaviour involving a real or perceived imbalance of power. A single hurtful incident still matters and may need support, even if it is not bullying. You may answer using the fictional scenario rather than sharing personal experiences.

The group chat

At a Year 9 project meeting, a group repeatedly leaves Hana out of planning. Two students make the same mocking comments about her ideas each day, and one deliberately knocks her books onto the floor. Later, edited images of Hana are shared in a group chat with insulting captions. Hana stops contributing, feels tense before school and says she no longer feels part of the group. Ari sees the messages. Ari does not forward them, checks privately whether Hana is okay, and asks a trusted adult for help.

Hauora | Te Whare Tapa Whā

Hauora is often represented by Te Whare Tapa Whā: four connected dimensions of wellbeing, supported by the foundation of whenua (connection to land and place).

Taha tinana Physical wellbeing

Taha hinengaro Mental and emotional wellbeing

Taha whānau Relationships and belonging

Taha wairua Values, identity and meaning

Whenua — connection to land and place supports all four walls.

4.Choose two dimensions of hauora that Hana's experience may affect, and give one scenario detail for each.

They stop the harmful content spreading and connect Hana with support.
They prove Hana should solve the problem alone.

They guarantee the behaviour will stop immediately.

6.Fill in the blanks: In Te Whare Tapa Whā, taha whānau relates to relationships and ; whenua is connection to and place.

7.A friend says, “It was only online, so it cannot be serious.” Write a respectful reply that explains one possible effect of cyberbullying and one helpful next step.

8.Which response shows manaakitanga (care and respect) towards Hana?

Forwarding the images so everyone can judge them.
Listening without blaming Hana and helping her reach a trusted adult.
Telling Hana to ignore it and say nothing.
Posting an insulting reply to the group.

9.Write a safe, practical three-step plan an observer could use when they notice repeated bullying. Include how to get support without escalating the situation.
