Save your actual school result to count your credits.
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.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Choose an activity in one of three areas: food and nutrition, mental health, or relationships and sexuality. This could be something you have personally experienced or something others have experienced.
- ·Apply a model of health (for example Te Whare Tapa Whā or Te Wheke) to explain how that activity affects hauora — the different dimensions of wellbeing.
- ·Describe or explain how the different parts (dimensions) of the model connect to each other in relation to your activity. For example, how does eating poorly affect not just physical health but also mental and social wellbeing?
- ·For Excellence, go further and draw conclusions about how the activity affects hauora in both the short-term and the long-term, backed up with evidence.
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.
