Hauora Revision Worksheet

Use the case study and the Te Whare Tapa Whā model to revise hauora. Answer in your own words and support analysis with details from the case. You may use the fictional situation rather than sharing personal experiences.

Case study: A busy term

Ari is a Year 13 student in Aotearoa New Zealand. During a busy term, Ari takes on extra shifts at a weekend job and stays up late to finish assignments. Ari feels tense and finds it hard to concentrate (taha hinengaro). Tiredness leads Ari to skip breakfast and stop attending kapa haka, which had been a source of connection and meaning (taha tinana and taha wairua). Ari also turns down invitations from friends and has a disagreement at home about being unavailable (taha whānau). A cousin checks in, and Ari's whānau help make a realistic weekly plan. Ari asks a kaiako about support at school.

The model and its meaning

Recall the model and explain how to use it, not just memorise its names.

1.Which Māori health model is represented by the whare with four walls and a foundation?

Te Whare Tapa Whā
Te Tiriti o Waitangi
The Fonofale model
The biomedical model

2.Name the four dimensions (walls) of Te Whare Tapa Whā and give a brief description of each.

3.In the model, what does whenua represent, and why is it important to the whare?

4.True or false: Te Whare Tapa Whā treats each dimension as separate, so a change in one dimension cannot affect another.

TrueFalse

Read the signs

Apply the model to Ari's situation. More than one dimension can be affected at once.

5.Match each detail from Ari's case to the dimension it most directly signals. A detail may connect to more than one dimension, but choose its clearest match.

Feeling tense and finding it hard to concentrate
Skipping breakfast and feeling tired
Turning down friends and arguing at home
Missing kapa haka, a source of meaning and connection

Taha tinana
Taha hinengaro
Taha whānau
Taha wairua

6.Explain one chain of effects in Ari's case. Start with one detail and trace how it could affect at least two other dimensions of hauora.

7.Ari's cousin, whānau and kaiako each offer a possible source of support. Choose one and explain which dimension(s) it could strengthen, and how it might also support another dimension.

Think critically and plan

Use evidence, recognise context, and consider what a useful response would look like.

8.Ari's extra shifts may help with money, but the busy schedule is affecting sleep and relationships. Explain why a hauora approach is more useful here than focusing only on physical symptoms.

9.Suggest two realistic next steps Ari could take this week. For each step, name a dimension it may support and explain why. Include an option for seeking help if stress continues.

10.Evaluate this claim: “Using Te Whare Tapa Whā in health services can make support more responsive to Māori, but the model should not be used as a one-size-fits-all checklist.” Give one reason supporting the claim and one consideration or limitation.
