Demonstrate understanding of factors that influence hauora
This is a 5-credit external exam (sat at the end of the year) in Year 11 Health Education. The exam gives you a scenario — like a story about a real student facing a health situation — and you have to show you understand what factors are affecting that person's hauora (wellbeing). Hauora covers four dimensions: physical, mental/emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing. You need to identify and explain the factors influencing the person, discuss how those factors connect to each other, and at the top level, draw conclusions about what those factors mean in the bigger picture — short-term, long-term, and for different people involved.
You correctly identify factors from the scenario and describe how they affect hauora. Your answers are fairly short, with basic examples. You state or identify things rather than fully explaining them.
You explain how at least two factors are connected and influence each other — not just listing them separately. You use clear examples from the scenario to show why those factors work together to affect the person's wellbeing.
You draw well-supported conclusions about the short-term and long-term effects of the factors, including unintended consequences and effects on the wider family or community. You compare which factors matter more and why, categorise them as personal, interpersonal, or societal, and build a detailed, coherent argument that goes beyond just what the scenario tells you.
