Demonstrate understanding of hauora in a health-related context through the application of a model of health
This internal standard (meaning your school marks it, not an external exam) is worth 5 credits. You pick a real activity — something related to food and nutrition, mental health, or relationships and sexuality — and you explain how that activity affects a person's overall wellbeing (hauora). You must use an official model of health to structure your thinking, such as Te Whare Tapa Whā (the four-sided house) or Te Wheke (the octopus). The key idea is that hauora is a Māori view of holistic wellbeing, meaning your physical, mental, spiritual, and social health are all connected. Your job is to show you understand those connections in relation to your chosen activity.
Describe how the activity affects hauora using a model of health, with some supporting evidence. Also describe how the different parts of the model link to each other in your example.
Explain WHY the activity affects hauora using the model, with supporting evidence. Also explain why the different dimensions of the model connect to each other in relation to the activity — go deeper than just describing what happens.
Draw well-reasoned conclusions about how the activity affects hauora in both the short-term and the long-term, referring to the model of health throughout and backing up your conclusions with evidence.
