Students explore hauora as balance across interconnected dimensions of wellbeing.
How this handout aligns
The handout introduces the four walls clearly and asks students to connect them to everyday life, support systems, and practical wellbeing choices. That makes the model usable for both direct health teaching and wider school wellbeing programmes.
Most useful when kaiako want students to move beyond narrow ideas of health and work with an explicitly Māori wellbeing model.
Students use culturally grounded language and concepts to reflect on identity, support, and wellbeing.
How this handout aligns
Te Whare Tapa Whā is not treated as decoration here. Students define the walls, identify what strengthens each one, and consider how values, culture, whānau, and belonging contribute to overall hauora.
Strongest when the classroom purpose is to treat indigenous knowledge as a real framework for understanding life and learning.
Students build key competencies by noticing what supports wellbeing and planning practical next steps.
How this handout aligns
The check-in and action sections support managing self, relating to others, and participating in supportive communities. The task stays practical enough for teacher use in mentoring, tutor, and classroom settings.
Useful when kaiako need a bridge between explicit health curriculum teaching and everyday school wellbeing practice.
