Hauora Revision Worksheet

Use the case study and your understanding of hauora to answer each question. For written responses, explain your reasoning and use specific examples. Te Whare Tapa Whā is one useful model; recognise that people and communities may understand wellbeing in different ways.

Case study: finding balance during a demanding term

Hugo is in her final year of secondary school and has several assessments due. She has been sleeping less, skipping breakfast and turning down invitations from friends. She says she feels tense and has stopped making time for kapa haka, which usually helps her feel connected to her whānau and values. Her cousin offers to study with her, and Hugo is considering speaking with a trusted teacher or school counsellor. She wants a plan that feels manageable and respects what matters to her.

Recall and connect

Start with the model, then connect its dimensions to the case study.

1.Which statement best describes hauora?

A measure of physical fitness alone
A holistic understanding of health and wellbeing
A list of treatments for illness
A set of rules that applies identically to every person

2.Match each dimension of Te Whare Tapa Whā to its focus.

Taha tinana
Taha hinengaro
Taha whānau
Taha wairua

Relationships and connections with whānau and others
Physical health and the body
Thoughts, feelings and mental or emotional wellbeing
Spiritual wellbeing, beliefs, values and meaning

3.True or false: Te Whare Tapa Whā suggests that each dimension can be considered on its own, but changes in one dimension may also affect the others.

TrueFalse

4.Identify two dimensions of Hugo’s hauora that may be affected by her situation. Give one detail from the case study for each dimension.

Apply and analyse

Use evidence from the case study. More than one reasonable response may be possible if it is explained.

5.Complete the idea: Because the dimensions of hauora are interconnected, a change in one dimension can the others.

6.Hugo’s cousin offers to study with her. Explain how accepting this support could strengthen taha whānau and potentially benefit one other dimension of hauora.

7.Suggest two realistic actions Hugo could try this week. For each action, name the dimension or dimensions it may support and explain how. Include at least one action that reflects what matters to Hugo.

8.Explain why it would be too narrow to respond to Hugo’s stress only by telling her to improve her sleep. Refer to at least three dimensions of hauora in your explanation.

9.A friend says, “If someone is struggling, they just need to be more resilient.” Evaluate this statement using the case study. Give one reason resilience may help and one reason support or changes in a person’s circumstances may also matter.

10.Write a brief, respectful check-in message you could send to Hugo. It should show care, offer a choice of support and avoid trying to diagnose or solve everything for her.
