Hauora

Hauora is a Māori philosophy of health and well-being unique to New Zealand.

[1] It helps schools be educated and prepared for what students are about to face in life.

[2] The Whare Tapa Wha model represents aspects of Hauora as the four walls of a whare, each wall representing a different dimension.

For example, in 1997, Lewis Moeau, iwi leader and later cultural advisor for the Prime Minister suggested that a fifth dimension, whenua (connection with the land), be added to the original model.
