Hauora and Wellbeing Dimensions

Use the case study and Te Whare Tapa Whā model to analyse wellbeing. Hauora is holistic: the dimensions are connected, and a change in one can affect others. Use evidence from the case study in your answers.

Case study: Maia’s changing week

Maia is a 17-year-old student who has recently started training for a long-distance event. She enjoys the challenge and feels proud of improving her running time. During the last month, she has added several training sessions while also preparing for assessments. She has been sleeping less, skipping some meals when busy, and turning down invitations from friends. A minor injury has made her anxious about losing progress. Maia says spending time near the coast and talking with her aunt usually help her feel grounded. Her coach suggests changing her training plan and asking a trusted adult for support.

1.Match each dimension to its main focus: Taha Tinana; Taha Hinengaro; Taha Wairua; Taha Whānau. Use these descriptions: physical health and the body; thoughts and feelings; values, identity, and connection to meaning; relationships and belonging.

Taha Tinana
Taha Hinengaro
Taha Wairua
Taha Whānau

Relationships and belonging
Values, identity, and connection to meaning
Physical health and the body
Thoughts and feelings

2.Which statement best explains why Te Whare Tapa Whā represents hauora as holistic?

The four dimensions are separate, so a person can improve one without affecting the others.
The dimensions support one another, and wellbeing can be affected if one part is under strain.
Physical wellbeing is the foundation, so the other dimensions are less important.
The model only applies when someone is unwell.

3.Identify one detail from Maia’s week that may affect each of these dimensions: Taha Tinana, Taha Hinengaro, Taha Whānau, and Taha Wairua. A detail may connect to more than one dimension.

4.Maia’s injury is relevant only to Taha Tinana; it cannot affect any other part of her hauora.

5.Complete the chain using Maia’s case: less sleep could affect her ; this might then affect her because .

6.Maia asks what she should do first. Which option is the most balanced starting point?

Ignore the injury and add another training session to stay on schedule.
Stop all exercise permanently and avoid discussing the situation.
Talk with her coach or a trusted adult about adjusting training, and make time to address sleep, food, and support.
Focus only on feeling positive and keep everything else unchanged.

7.Explain how Maia’s decision to turn down invitations from friends could affect at least two dimensions of her hauora. Use details from the case and avoid assuming that spending time alone is always harmful.

8.Suggest two practical actions Maia could take this week. For each action, name the dimension or dimensions it may support and explain how. Include at least one action that involves support from another person.

9.Maia says, “If I improve my running time, my hauora will automatically improve.” Evaluate this statement. Give one reason the goal might support her wellbeing and one reason it might not be enough on its own.
