Hauora-Wellbeing, is a centralised theme in our curriculum and is reflected in learning and teaching practice throughout the school. It includes four dimensions, each of which support one another and are interwoven in learning programmes across the school:
Taha Whanau (Social Well-being).
Family relationships, friendships, and other interpersonal relationships; feelings of belonging, compassion and caring; and social support.
Taha Tinana (Physical Well-being)
The physical body, its growth, development, and ability to move, and ways of caring for it.
Taha Hinengaro (Mental and Emotional Well-being)
Coherent thinking processes, acknowledging and expressing thoughts and feelings and responding constructively.
Taha Wairua (Spiritual Well-being)
The values and beliefs that determine the way people live, the search for meaning and purpose in life and personal identity and self-awareness.
