Bullying Types and Hauora

Read the rink scenario, then complete each task. Bullying is repeated, harmful behaviour where there is a real or perceived power imbalance. A single disagreement or unkind moment may still need addressing, but it is not necessarily bullying. You may discuss situations without sharing personal experiences.

Read the scenario

At an after-school ice-skating session, Wiremu notices that Georgia is repeatedly mocked about her skating. Talia has seen the same group deliberately leave Georgia out of team warm-ups several times. Later, someone posts a humiliating comment about Georgia in the rink group chat. Georgia looks worried and says she does not want to come back. Wiremu and Talia want to help without escalating the situation.

Hauora and the effects of bullying

Hauora is a holistic view of wellbeing. Te Whare Tapa Whā describes four connected dimensions: taha tinana (physical wellbeing), taha hinengaro (mental and emotional wellbeing), taha whānau (social wellbeing and relationships), and taha wairua (spiritual wellbeing, including identity, values and meaning). An experience can affect more than one dimension.

4.Select every dimension of Georgia’s hauora that could be affected by the events in the scenario.

7.Wiremu wants to support Georgia. Which action is the safest and most helpful first step?

Post an angry reply in the group chat and name the people involved.
Tell Georgia privately that he is concerned, listen without blaming her, and ask what support she wants.
Tell Georgia to ignore it and keep skating.
Share screenshots with other skaters so everyone knows what happened.

8.The humiliating comment is in a group chat. Give two sensible actions Talia could take that protect Georgia and avoid spreading the comment further.

9.Write one sentence Wiremu could say to Georgia that shows manaakitanga (care and respect) without pressuring her to explain everything.

10.Explain how whanaungatanga (building relationships and belonging) could help make the ice-skating group safer for everyone.

11.Put these actions in a sensible order by numbering them 1–4: check privately what support Georgia wants; get help from a trusted adult or rink staff member; notice the repeated behaviour without joining in; follow up later to see whether she feels safer.
